It is so ironic that the same Democrats that argued in 2000 that Florida voters were disenfranchised are now making a case that Florida voters should not have a voice during the Democratic Primary season to determine their Presidential nominee.   It would be interesting to know if Obama supporters, African American or not, would be screaming and demonstrating in the streets if he had clearly won the popular vote in Florida; the answer would be emphatically and unequivocally YES as they would be letting their opinions and voice be heard with Al Sharpton and Jeremiah Wright leading the way!!  And then you have Superdelegates, who at this time appear unwilling to make their voices heard as the entire Democratic Party has become intimidated by the African American electorate and any consequences associated with supporting Hillary Clinton for President!!  Without question, this primary season has created  a disunity among the American electorate unlike any time since the days of Civil Rights legislation in the 1960's.  Contrary to popular belief among the African American community, Obama appears to be oblivious of the disunity as he marches across the United States making claims that he is a uniter and not a divider!!  The question is, does the African American community not remember calling President Clinton their President, a president that brought more people out of poverty and into the middle class than any one since FDR?  Or could it be that "skin color" has blinded the minds of even the most intelligent and influenced their voting decisions in spite of resume qualifications for the highest office in the land?  Needless to say, Democrats, Independents, and Republicans have to answer many questions during the upcoming days leading to the conventions and general election in November, questions that will impact us, our children, grandchildren, and generations to come.  Consequently, I encourage every voter to listen beyond the exterior veneer of racial color and empty rhetoric, and count the costs for "hiring" an unqualified candidate to walk into the Oval Office and assume the role of Commander-In-Chief.,
