Hillary or Barack: Who's Better

Being a so called African American, I am aware that neither would be good for me or people of color. Descendants of slaves who have not lost there senses in the maddest called America truly understand the government as well as the Democratic and the Republican Parties. So what does it mean to have either Mrs. Hillary Clinton or Senator Barack Obama leading this country as President?

First, I must look at Senator Clinton. She is white and an American. Since the founding of these United States, people of color have suffered, and shall continue to as long as Europeans remain in charge. Mrs. Clinton will follow in the footsteps of her husband, and will do exactly what her spouse Bill Clinton did for the African American, nothing, but tricks with no treats. One of the major issues that black people here in the United States are dealing with is reparations, how can a white President of the United States stand before her "people" and apologize for the wrongs administered by them. To apologize would be opening the door for litigation for us as a people for the physical and emotional damage they, white America, have done. So her being elected to the highest office in this country will be good for all white Americans, and again bad for us. Of course many shall disagree, but they are indeed in total denial.
Secondly, I must address Senator Barack Obama. He was born of a Caucasian mother of Kansas and a black father of Nigeria, which in essence makes him a mixed blooded African American because of the mixing of the two races. In truth he is not African American. The term Afro-American and African American were created for black people of America who were descendants of slaves. It is an insult for him to claim himself as such. He may proclaim himself American if he likes.
I have seen Mr. Obama race across country promoting Democratic ideals of freedom, integration, education, and the other political hogwash they feed this passive nation of uninformed people. As a matter of fact I saw Mr. Obama say on "Meet the Press" that he likes George Bush. That told me he cared not about the black vote or the people of the same hue as he. How ironic it was that he stood on the same steps that Mr. Lincoln started his race for the White House, one mulatto following in the footsteps of the other. He is not in touch with the issues that black people are in tune with, health care, education, unemployment, high crime rate, the high number of us on death row, and the displaced of hurricane "Katrina".
What does it mean to have either one represent us in the highest seat in American politics. In one word, nothing, to lead a true nation of diverse people you must eliminate racial bigotry, and balance the scales of true justice, and freedom for all people of the nation. White America is not ready for that.
