I came across a blog posting at Brown Sista who discussed the fact that Black Women are NOT supporting Barack Obama. My girls and I have and continue to discuss this issue....at least for us, we are BLACK people who happen to be female. When you look at Barack and his wife and his children you see Black people. When I walk into a room full of white people I'm Black before I am female. Therefore it is utterly amazing to me that black women can really think that Hillary Clinton would put the interest of BLACK people before the interest of her own. This presidential race is obviously one that puts black women in a place of power like never before and the white people are hoping to manipulate us like never before. The media and white America has always and will continue to do what they can to separate black women from black men because together we are incredibly powerful. And in this country, who gives a shit about a black woman? Black men are intimidating to white America. As black women we are as low as it gets. When black men gang rape a black woman (which happened recently) does anyone care? Does the media cover it? Not at all. But had that been a white bitch being gang raped by a group of black men, SHIIIIIIIT....they would be hung, fried, and hog tied. The media would cover that shit for days on end. When the mentally challenged black girl was raped, tortured, forced to eat dog shit by those crazy ass white people, did anyone give two shits? HELL FUCKING NO. Why??? Because who gives a shit that a black woman was kidnapped and tortured. Let that had been a white bitch. As slaves they used the black man as an animal in which to breed with black women, while the white man took joy in raping the black woman and taking what should have been love from us...all because they fear us. They incarcerate, miseducate, and demean black men...they continue to divide and conquer and we let them. United we could be unstoppable....but because all we do is complain and never do what we need to do (like vote a black man into office) they continue to win.
Someone left the following comment in regards to Brown Sista's post: Obama needs to get a few tattoos, go to jail and have a few illegitimate children before Black women will back him. The ignorance in the comment is sickening but I wonder how true that is? Do black women only support the black man when he is truly "black"? Do we not see Obama as a man who can bring hope and change for the one race of people that has still not managed to find its footing in this world? If Barack had married a white woman would that help? If he had baby mothas would he be more relatable? Seriously.....where is the support for the one man who would actually do all that he can to help us? By fighting for our rights he is fighting for the rights for his wife and his daughters!!! Obviously he would want to change this country in a way that provides his wife and daughters who look like you and me with the same opportunities and same treatment as everyone else. I mean, DUH.
And I have to say I am one of those who is scared for his life....Yes I do believe that there is a very serious chance of assassination should he become president but I'm not going to NOT vote for him because I'm fearful. Thanks to Rosa Parks not giving a shit about being scared, we can now pay increased fares on the buses and trains and sit where ever the fuck we want. I won't go into my Black History tirade because you all know damn well that at some point we have to start believing in ourselves and realizing that we will never be the people that run shit if we continue to do as the white man dictates. Just because the "polls" show that Hillary is in the lead and that she has a better chance of winning doesn't mean that is a reason to back her. Do we not understand that this shit is made up! Um hello, they lied and cheated and that is why we have an idiot running the country now. They can do and say what they want. They create the polls and the media creates these stories to have us believe that black women are feminist before they are black.
I just ask that you really think about who you vote for and why you vote for that person. Everyone is clearly entitled to vote for who they truly believe can be the best president of this horrible fuckin country but if you are placing your vote based on what the media tells you, or because you are scared, or just because you think going with the "majority" is the best way to go, then you are a fuckin idiot and you deserve the president you get.

I am one of the sisters that has been sitting on the line. After reading your comments I am forced to re-evaluate my thoughts and agree with alot of what you have said. OBAMA just may have my vote!!! Keep up the dialogue and to encourage more sisters to give more thought about their vote.
You are truly a voice that needs to be heard on a larger level. I fully support Obama, and I think that you should repost this article as we approach the elections, so that others will realize the importance of voting for him!
I will post a few of my favorite comments on my site, and tell people to come and visit your site in order to read the entire article!!!
