Actually, no, I didn't see that. I have trouble keeping up with news when I get the forum fever! I can certainly see how black Americans have something to be proud of, even if they don't agree with Barack Obama's political leanings. This NEVER would have happened 45 years ago. NEVER. It's something for all of us to be proud of and hopefully will be viewed by history as another turning point in the racial attitudes of America.

I think Jakes heard Obama is without a church.....

I've said my piece about this and I'm leaving it alone from here on.

History is going to have the "haters" looking really bad one day.

if he endorses Obama I will disagree, but EVERY election is a victory for democracy.

the fact that a black guy has won the nomination is a good thing for America.

Now if he gets elected.... because of his political views, i think it would be bad for america.

Agreed...

I read the piece but did not see any endorsement. Condalisa Rice made similar statements.
