Let's be honest about this; the liberal agenda with failed stimulus plans and government entitlement programs is crippling our economy and our quality of life.

African-Americans who might have disagreed with candidate Barack Obama's left-of-center politics voted for him in 2008 because electing a candidate with brown skin was too historic an opportunity to miss.

Racism is a way to gain economic advantage at the expense of others. Slavery and plantations may be gone, but racism still allows us to regard those who may keep us from financial gain as less than equals.

Many people who voted for Mr. Obama in the last election did so based on skin color.

If people are being downtrodden and mistreated, it's our obligation, it's our responsibility to speak out, not just for ourselves but for others.

When we see others victimized we must speak out. We have to seek justice for everybody.

Coming forth, you've got to love each other and you have to have faith. And you never lose hope. Even when things are really, really, really bad - there's always hope.
