The Post Obama Civil Rights Paradigm


I was part of an interesting discussion and thought it would be good to serve it up at Brother's Place. Is there a need for the Civil Rights organizations of yesteryear? What is the purpose of the SCLC? The co-founder, Joseph Lowery did the benediction at the inauguration and prayed for "the red man to get ahead man". The red man has gotten ahead, or the closest thing to it...casino's. That may be a little facetious, but you get the point. Another question, with a black president in office, does this put out the fires that have fueled black fraternities and sororities up to now?

Interested to hear what the brothers think. Either way, the electing of a BLACK president has to cause a reassessment.
