Son,

I am so tickled at Obama’s success. He has demonstrated that Black leaders are not just loud mouthed buffoons with a shallow and selfish agenda. Of course, I am speaking of Al Sharpton.  Barack Obam is a poke in Al Sharpton’s bigoted eye.

Even setting Imus aside, Sharpton runs around the country, as he did with the Jena 6, promoting separation of the races. He promotes discontent. He promotes segregation by claiming discrimination and pointing fingers. His bread and butter is in segregation. True integration would be the end of his life purpose. That is the last thing he wants.

Barack Obama, on the other hand, embraces integration. He so embraces integration that he doe not even mention it. It is a non-issue. Like others before him, Oprah Winfrey and Bill Cosby, and Dr. Natanu in my home town, he merely works hard and takes advantage of what America has to offer. Hopes and Dreams.
