One day in the next 15-20 years a Black woman will be named Vice-president. (21 hits)
Assuming that this 2008 Presidential year will be captured by the first non-white male in American modern history, the very fear that racists feel will self-prophesize. That the door will be opened, and they will never be able to stem the tide. Ever.
Black Americans are on the cutting edge of every successful endeavor of persons of African heritage who have retained their features through centuries of intermarriage.
The success stems in part from American principles of Democracy and the financial laws of capitalism. It is not by accident that the final Armageddon if you will , is going to occur in the west.
Many people feel that Barack Obama is anointed. I am one of them. The coming together of his advisory team, headed by two Davids( Axelrod and Plouffe) the circumstances of how he came into this world, where he was reared, what schools he attended and the woman he chose to marry are all of what my 23-year-old said "mom he is part of the plan."
He has many African-Americans on his team. Some unfortunately cause an eruption every now and then. Take Franklin Raines, the former CEO of Fannie Mae AS HIS FINANCIAL ADVISOR. But the fact is that the political world is full of folks, who made mistakes, stole money, beat their wives, and break laws. That is the way it is.
So we get beyond that, because were talking half a million politicians, old , new and about to be. So like the clay in the Potter's house we shape and mold our policies according to the will of the people, and of course this would be more effective if people spoke up and demanded accountability.
Now that we know this, we need to start grooming and thinking about who we would like to see as the first female Black Vice-President. I am not sure about a President, because the prevailing thought would be..whoa..okay..one got in-- and the same supporters who are not African Americans would not allow this to happen back to back.
So it would behoove us to start preparing for success, and political empowerment. Have you ever thought about it? Because the old male chauvinism would still rear its head..Who would you choose? off the top of your head? and who would you choose if you had time to research? and why?
What a wonderful idea and analogy. I truly believe that Obama is indeed part of the Master's plan. Old political America and the "heartland" surely have thought about this and possess genuine fear. If they had practiced humanity, they would not fear this possibility and that is because in their souls they fear the ultimate reaping of the seeds they sold and sowed. However, we are bigger than that as a people. We have come a long way to learn and understand the political machine and policymaking across the world. Sometimes, I laugh because to me it seems like we snunk up and stole the cookie jar. Now we know what kinds of cookies they buy, steal, swop, and enjoy.
Now, who would I put into the office of Vice President? Hands down, it would be Condoliza Rice!
Condoliza is an extremely intelligent woman on foreign policy and world affairs. She is not given all the credit due her and I have to admit, I did not really "like" her at first and felt like she was ...maybe an oreo cookie in that jar.
However, I spent a weekend reading about her and I was awe-struck on what she accomplished despite a near-silver spoon in her mouth. She is resilient. She is quite gifted. Above that, she has what it takes to influence world leaders which I think is very important to holding the top two offices given the likelihood that the VP may have to be the President. Condoliza understands domestic issues very well, too. She can gain the support of Congress and she would be capable of making sound decisions during the troubling times such as the war in Iraq. She is more than capable of taking black leadership to a whole new level for black women.
Yes, it would be God's plan to raise up the oppressed to give Him all the glory! Posted Sunday, October 12th 2008 at 10:00AM Agnes Levine | delete
I knew she would be first on the list!! I also know her biography. Accomplished. I also happen to agree. Your comments and analysis is very clear, so now you have another task..I would like you to think and research as the days go by and get a back up for the Democrats. I will be doing the same. Let's see what kind of list we come up with..we will be quite surprised! Posted Sunday, October 12th 2008 at 11:48AM Marta Fernandez | delete
