I am not sure who wrote this, but it is
nice... Respond with you comments on the HookUpz Blog:

It's not that I'm
voting for a black man, I'm voting for a man that happens to be black and have
some of the same values and interest that I have and believes "That Yes
WE/UNITED Can".

A Black Man

Why is it that a Black Man can
create a tiny piece called a filament (electric light - Lewis Latimer) that
allows people to see in the dark?But can't be seen fit to lead a country to the
true light.
  Why is it that a
Black Man can create an instrumentclock - Benjamin Banneker) that all people use
to tell time? But people don't think it is time for him to run a country.
  Why is it that a Black Man can design a place for the high authoritiesto meet in
and a place for the president to live in (The Capital and the White House
Phillip Reid (a slave) & Pierre L'Enfant)?But not good enough to lead these
meetings or live in himself.
  Why is it that a Black Man was brilliant
enough to do the first open heart surgery (Dr. Daniel Hale Williams) and show the
world how to get and preserve plasma (Dr. Charles Drew)? But not good enough to
put a program in place where everyone can afford this surgery.
  Why is it
that a Black Man was creative enough to design an instrument (traffic light -
Garrett Morgan) to bring multiple people (traffic) to a halt? But not seen
creative enough to design a plan to bring all this unnecessary and worthless
fighting between countries.
  Why is it that a Black Man could create the
soles shoes - Jan Matzeliger) that people walk on everyday? But not seen good
enough to fill the shoes of a bad president. Why is it that a Black Man was smart
enough and brave enough to teach himself (Fredrick Douglas &Thomas Fuller -
both slaves) and others how to read, write and/or calculate math? But not seen
smart enough and bold enough to calculate a platform to be President to a
country that sure needs another first by us.

So you see my Brother and Sisters, what
I am saying is, let us not forgot our past, whichled us to our present and can
definitely be the backbone to our future. We were good enough, smart enough,
creative enough, and bold enough then, so lets all give Obama the chance to show
that we are still these things and more. We all are as strong as our weakest
link, so don't be that weak link that denies our people that chance to show we
still can OVERCOME and BE THE FIRST! - VOTE
