This post was incredibly condescending and damn near offensive. For one, you do not know my credentials or history and my past experiences. Secondly, I'm sure the same civil rights leaders you met with are Obama supporters and I'll task you to prove me wrong. Thirdly, I know you have a reputation for being able to articulate very well, in which I will concede too but that is neither here or there. This is a discussion between brothers on a topic which is heavily debated, so if brothers on here don't have your "flawless" experience in these matters, it doesn't mean their opinions should be discounted.
Finally, I am going to give you a brief introduction to who I am. First and foremost, I am an educated black man with many years of corporate and government work experience. I have been in meetings with the governor of Georgia, I have been in a roundtable with the police chief of Atlanta and Clayton County. I was working closely with the CEO of Dekalb County. I ran an ex-offender program for Dekalb county, which consisted of 99% african americans who were looking to transition back into society. Yes I opened my home to some of them, yes I met with them on a weekly basis to assure they were ok, yes I worked with the governors office of workforce development, yes I built alliances with local organizations to provide resources to them, yes I spoke with the director of public safety in Dekalb county on their behalf.
I say all of this to say, do not turn your nose up at me and I do not give a fukk how articulate you are or how many people on this website ride your dikk. I have done what I can for the advancement of OUR PEOPLE. Have a good day.
