Have A Sip Of My Political Kool Aid

I have had a visit from a PO blogger on my personal blogsite. He came there to specifically expresss his opinion about my support of Obama. Also to demand an answer as to why I support Obama.
In his zeal to express his opinions about black on black support and the historical perspectives of Obama's bid for office, he has also managed to expose how little he knows about black politicos.
I am a black/female/blogger. I write a blog titled From My Brown Eyed View. My site can be found under http://www.msladydeborah.blogspot.com. I also am a member of African American Opinon. Which is a group of bloggers who publish on the same network. I will be joining the Afrosphere network in the near future. I will invite anyone who has an interest in learning about what is on the minds of black politicos about this political season to visit the blackblogosphere. You will find that we do not promote racist politics at all.
I also have to say that it is very obvious that the PO blogger has drank the Kool Aid himself. That is obvious by his remarks. He did not look at my blog posts at all. If he did~he would of learned about how my politcs match up with Obama's. But they were my politics before Obama ever announced his bid for office.
I found the comments that were posted on my blog to be no different than the feminist who want black women to forget who we are and support Hillary. I am a black woman. The two go together as my identity.
The individual is upset because I made a true statement about my intentions during this political season. I will not be voting for a white male. I am just one among many women who are going to make that manner of statement at the polls. All of Hillary's supporters are basically saying the same thing with their votes. And just for the record the black/white/and biracial members of my family have or will be voting for Barack.
We live in Ohio, Illinois, Vermont, New Mexico and all along the eastern seaboard. We are a diverse group ourselves. I have a brother who is going to vote for his party~The GOP.
Of course it did not occur to this particular individual that when we as black people deal with racism and racially aroused issues~it is not about getting another race. That attitude is an indication that he has not taken time to learn anything about contemporary African American Politics.
It does not seem that this individual has the ability to recognize that we are the group who deals with racism from all sectors regarding Obama politics. And he has not read enough about black on black political support to have an informed opinion.
And for his 411, not all black people are going to vote for tradtional party candidates. There is a diverse group of politicos who are actively supporting and educating people about their political choices.
If he had taken time to scroll down my site he would of seen that I am a Progessive Ohioan period. I write about health care, culture, voters rights and a lot of different subjects.
The only Kool Aid Kid that has been on my site is him. He has lumped me into his opinions and his fears. That is okay. I have had the experience before and it is nothing that I cannot handle.
But for those who want to look at what African American bloggers think and write about~please take time to visit the numerous sites that are up and working.

There have been 10 different Community bloggers since I posted this, which is progress...Ohio!
Is it emotional? I have passion for a lot of things. You really don't know jack about me as a politico other than my support for Obama. But I do not spend all of my time blogging. I get up and out and I am also a member of One. Move On. The Color of Change. and The Children's Defense Fund. I advocate and write about Breast Cancer and health care issues. That's just a smattering of what I work on in real time.
I opened up the discussion in my style~on my blog.
I also extended an invitation to you to get some exposure so you can get in tune with the issues that we deal with concerning politics period. You will learn that when we deal with the issues it is not just limited to Obama. We deal with missing persons, violence, educational issues, legislation etc.
If you took the time to look into Afrosphere and AAOpinon you will find that even those of us who support Obama raise up our questions, criticisms and concerns. It is not about just following blindly because he is black.
