Brad Blacks can see everybody racist ways expect their own, and that's pretty sad
And black men posing as white men and women to make racial slurs is even sadder. :'(

Are black politicians good politicians just because they are black? If you can answer this question honestly, then my point has been made. I live in Detroit, and have had my fill of black people playing the race card. Kwame (king of Detroit) Kilpatrick, (who by the way is now convicted of perjury and parole violations; and is awaiting trial on several federal charges). "They're after me because I'm a young black man". If we band together and force the hands of the federal government we can get these politicians to do what they should be doing. Representing the people.
Are any politicans worth a damn?

Don't think that I am anti-black just because I think that black politicians are not getting the job done. There are some that are standing up for the people Maxine Waters is one of those, but as time passes these "real" people are going the way of t-rex. White politicians aren't getting the job done either. Let's break the word politics down and draw our conclusion from there; poli from the latin meaning many and tic which is a blood sucking creature, so politicians are many blood sucking creatures.
I don't think any politician black or white are doing a good job

Obama went in a mostly Black district and picked a White politician, over a Black one

...and your point is? Perhaps the white politician was the most qualified. When your reputation is on the line, you don't want no half-steppers. My perception of your post is that you believe he committed a violation of some code of law by doing so. Damned if you do, damned if you don't. He really can't win, no matter what he does. Noone can please everyone. Be honest at least. Do you happen to know that perhaps the black politician was a better choice?

Would have made no difference to me, if the person chosen was more qualified. Just because someone looks like you doesn't mean they always have your best interest at heart or that they particularly understand your issues. You can't equate everything to skin color.
Don't know if you followed Artur Davis's bid for Alabama Governor. Artur Davis, who is black, failed to garner the majority of the minority vote and the voters stated that it was because he did represent their interest. Many of them chose a white man. I think a certain segment of the American population refuses to accept that minorities are capable of making intelligent choices. There are some voters(including white voters) who will vote for someone simply because he/she looks like them or is the same gender or sexual orientation, but there are many others who actually consider the candidates platform. Maybe those making the assumption that a minority votes for another minority simply because they have a similar hue should examine themselves closely and admit that they have some hidden biases whether they admit it or not.
Many poor whites have been voting against their own self interest for decades, but noone ever seems to assume that they're voting for their candidate of choice because he's whiter than the other guy(meaning not accepting of diversity).
