Somethings never change.

A perfect record, a clean image, a run for the White house, can he do it?
He's giving Hillary Clinton a run for her money, matching her almost dollar for dollar in the funds raising department. The Democrats have always been able to raise money and lots of it for decades. When it comes to raising money. it's not about Black or White, it's about donating and rubbing elbows with you if you happen to hit the jackpot, meaning become the President.
I have to salute you for your success thus far Mr Senator. But is that enough to give you a fair shot at the title?
Money, a great strategy, a powerful message will make you a winner. The lack of experience and the color of your skin will come into play at the final stage of the elections.
When it comes to the Presidency of the United States of America, It's often easy to know who the winner is going to be.

History will again prevailed by revealing that America is not ready to elect a Black man as president. The deck is stacked against you whether you see it or not. Just like Tiger Woods is good for the game of golf, you are also good for the elections. Your presence is adding color and some spice to the game. You are the best one with a strategy that can create havoc in Mrs Clinton's corner. You are regarded as a threat to her mission and at some point you will have to come out to fight. The Republicans love your position in this race, you are their secret weapon, they see you as a spoiler. You are in this race to steal votes from Hillary.
America is known to vote for the candidate with the most tainted record and a personal past enough to make the dead turn over in his grave.
Black America has been voting for the White Candidate since it was decided that we can now exercise our civic duty. Yes you will get some Black votes, a lot of them but not all of them.
What about the White votes? Can you get them?
I think you can. But it will not be enough for you to sit at the Oval office. There is some kind of fear resting in the heart of White America that if a colored man ever becomes the President of the country that it will be the end of their monopoly on things, private or public.
I believe that it is very wrong to think like that. As Black folks, we just want a chance to prove that we can do things the same you can if not better.
