Division?

The question has been asked the last couple of weeks as why has the Democratic party picked two minorities as their front runners for president. I wonder that too because a black man and a white woman (who just so happened to be married to the black folks favorite president) are running at the same time. People have speculated whether this was influenced by the GOP's. I have to ask that question too. Black folks are always gonna be prone to vote for Obama for that fact that he is black but they need to take in the fact that Hillary is still a Clinton. My first mind tells me to vote for her because of her platform and not her color. Just like a motivational speaker said at my school a couple of weeks ago, Obama talks a good game for the black folks of New Orleans but has yet to step foot in the city. My first mind when I hear that makes me say Uncle Tom. My statement to black folks, look at the issues and not the color; what looks good might not always be that way; and if we get a token in the White House that is working for the other man, it's a null point. THINK BLACK PEOPLE.
