Why must black politicians be expected to speak for all black people?
  • I love Obama!

    He's great. He is an articulate speaker, and he is a talented communicator. (These aren't necessarily the same thing!) And notice that he did not repudiate Belafonte. I'm so tired of the media coercing prominent Democrats into turning on other liberals and parroting Republican-lite talking points. Barack Obama doesn't do that. He stays on message, in effect: "*I* wouldn't say it that way, but the problem or concern is real and this is why."
