02/07 REAL TALK IN BLACK HISTORY: Sen. Barack Obama (D)

Did you know?

In the olden days during slave activity and trade, although the Caucasian slave owners did not respect or have any regard for the black slaves, they did have high regard and respect for the African Kings and Prime Ministers who would visit the country. Most African countries' key officials and leaders would visit for business or leisure without even fearing the threat of being enslaved during their visit. They were of equal and sometimes higher character in the eyes of the American Majority.

Barack Obama is half Kenyan, and his mother is white. He has no connection to the American era of slavery, none of his ancestors came over to the US on slave ships. Many Americans believe this is the reason why he is so highly regarded by the US Majority and is giving Mrs. Clinton a fair and just competition in the 2008 Democratic run. It's said that none of his ways or trains of thought are governed by having been oppressed or chained as it normally would have in the event that he had slave ancestry.

Question:
1. Have African Americans held on to the past so tightly that it is effecting our ability to free ourselves from the mental traditions of being a slave?

2. As a Caucasian person do you have different levels of respect for African American (Black) people based on their ancestry?

Ladies and gentlemen this is Real Talk. This is about you.
