perhaps many black people will feel that they can do anything now that Obama is president. It could be a big push for them to strive for something greater.
Unfortunately his policies will keep them down.
I never put much thought into his race. It’s his political philosophy that bothered me.
Anything can be acheived with a national media backing you 110%.
Larry has been taking it on the chin this week, before, during, and after the election, from two of his co-talk hosts on KABC L.A. because he did not agree with their voting Obama though they claim to be conservatives.
Larry is an amazing man and a very sincere and principled talk show host. I don't agree with him on everything but he's been a favorite of mine for years and I am proud to have met him twice. He gets it about the country, the Constitution, self reliance, and both kinds of "racism that dare not speak its name" today: black on white racism, and the white on black racism of low expectations (seen in all the white libs for Obama who would never have looked twice at an inexperienced socialist junior Senator from Illinois who happened to be white.
What is this water in my eyes? That was incredible.
Beautiful story.
Larry Elder is probably a great man. His dad was.
Thanks for sharing that.
Nobody can keep anybody down in a free society. It is what you make it. But his policies will allow them to stay down without shame.
That was a great piece. Glad you posted it.
Basic morals. Elder speaks that.
Thanks for the post. It's a keeper.
And yes, while Obama offers a 'great and profound example' (not that his life really touches American Blacks)of a man with his 'Black family'; suceeding, and entering the 'White House' it has it's bitter ironies as well.
The biggest is the disappointment and disenfranchisement of so many, that Obama will insure. Might add, this is a 'real' and sinister disempowement, of a kind that Obama never had to overcome; but educated himself too, nonetheless.
A fraudulent education; which has 'informed him' and one by turn; guides him in his plan for America's 'Change'.
Part of the "Greatest Generation".
You are a total and complete ass! Just stunning how you are so quick to puke all over this great story and man. MAGGOT!
These 'elites' hated Sarah Palin; and ignoring her accomplishments; her qualities; could only whine. . .'what does Sarah know! Where did she go to school,snif-snif'. . .All missing the more important point, that one who is gounded in 'core values'; has the best 'bedrock' from which they make decision; build their future and guide others to do the same.
Leadership without 'values' is dangerous; we have seen and experienced these dangers and way too much, from values-impaired Democrat Leadership.
And we are about to see; experience and suffer a great deal more. . .
‘grounded’. . .have to get my ‘r’ fixed!
If you don’t think that color held men back in previous generations you’re the reason why so many of us are tarred with the same racist brush. We can all recognize that racism has and still does play a role in American society without accepting it as an all-purpose excuse for every individual shortcoming.
This is a beautiful story about a great man.
Bravo Larry.
Lessons; timeless values; that speak to everyone. . .
Sad if not pathetic, that you missed it.
