Other than Barack Obama , what African Americans have been seriously promoted and elevated to truly senior positions where they ' re in the real inner circle of Democrat power politics ? When Ben Carson was running for president this year , did you see any evidence of Republicans not taking him seriously ? He would have had to ask permission to run on the Democratic ticket , since they like to decide on the candidates before hand . Despite all the loyalty that Black people have shown to the Democratic party , the DNC doesn ' t push them forward for serious leadership positions . Let ' s be real . Obama is the Democrat exception , not the rule . California senators two rich white womenNew York senators rich white guy , rich white womanMassachusetts senators white woman , white manAre you detecting a pattern yet ? Despite being the party of diversity , the Democrats sure do seem to leverage that minority vote to mostly put white people in charge of things . But hey , the Democrats give them the Black congressional caucus , which is expected to vote for whatever bills the real Democrats push forward . Seriously , who ' s the fucking racist party again ?
