a group of old men and women with the power to prevent change. A Black Man in the White House symbolizes the beginning of the end of their relevance cycle,coupled with their mistaken perception that we as blacks, are only interested in the candidate that will provide the most free sh!t.

The collective Back turning we see leveled against Barack, is a clear sign that none of these so called "Civil Rights" leaders are leaders of any kind. We finally have a chance to elect a NON WHITE president, and they can't line up fast enough, hands out waiting for whatever scrap they can grab to enrich their personal lives, while robbing genrations to come of our Black Young, of a roll model what would have finally provided what so many of our young men need... a man of success who did things the right way, and was able to reach the mountain top.

Now, all we can hope for is this; will our young see this as an excuse not to try for legitimate success, after all why try if the community won't support you, or will they recognize that the hypocrisy, and take heart from Obama's accomplishments?

I for one hope the latter, but with our "Leaders" standing shoulder to shoulder with Robert L Johnson, the cries from our "Leaders" questioning Barack's blackness, it's very easy to see them continuing down the road they already choose all to often.

Our leaders have abandoned us, and it's partially our fault. Anyone that comes along, and self applies the Civil Rights leader tag, gets our stamp of approval, to what has become little more than a club with a lifetime membership.

The anser to the question of, "Why are they doing this?", is quite simple. Because we've given them the power to, and now we're paying the price for our complacency.
