Without them many would be disenfranchised. Many still are. If John Kennedy was alive, or Franklin Roosevelt, what do you think they would be saying...or Ronald Reagan for that matter. Google Black Caucus addresses and you will see similar remarks. I feel that this was a grab for attention and a totally inapprpopriate post. However, that is my opinion.

Do you really believe the black cacus or hispanic caucus are really disenfranchised? Look around the country blacks and hispanics have advanced eons from the 1960's holding many executive offices and politic offices and every pol pandering to them and Obama in particular reminding them to vote for one of their own. Why do you suppose illegal immgration laws are at a stand still? Please in my view the playing filed has been more than leveled.
I am interested in learning how you viewed the episode in the last election wherein black panthers harassed white voters away from the polls. Eric Holder certainly didn't take much notice. Was that "over the edge"?
Was Obama's rush to Professor Gates's rescue a strike against racism?
It depends on whether you are the accused or the accuser.
