Roland Burris Is A Show Of Perserverance & Determination!

Roland Burris may be narcissistic & his mausoleum may be a bit much for some. But,I love this fucking guy! He could care less what others think of him.Roland Burris is going to get the seat that Harry Reid has tried to deny him.He has made Harry Reid look stupid because he has had to backtrack from his previous hard stance on the situation. There is no legal grounds to deny Burris the Illinois Senate seat.

The race card may have been played here,but wasn't it already being played? Harry Reid did not want an African-American to be seated. His choices were two white women. The claim is that an African-American would have trouble being re-elected in two years.I think that this whole situation just makes it clearer to the average observer that race is still a huge issue in America.Most blacks don't pay attention to the fact that there are hardly any blacks in the Senate.We're just so elated to have a black president.Many blacks have always maintained that there really isn't a place for them in politics.Having a black president signals change,but we can't say that everything is peachy because of Obama's win.It's the 21st century & racial progress is still moving at a snail's pace.Unfortunately,Gov.Blagojevich knows that & he was able to deflect attention from his dilemna by picking a black replacement for Obama's Senate seat. Since the Democrats wanted him to resign,he stuck it to them good! The Illinois gov. knew that Harry Reid did not want another African-American to be seated for whatever reason.Smart politics,Gov. Blagojevich! And kudos to Roland Burris for snatching this opportunity for himself.
