Don't forget though that Sharpton only represents those who agree with him. He doesn't own the "black community".

In London recently, a black rapper was quoted as saying that the term "Black Community" was outdated.

The context was that of youth development schemes in the inner cities. He argued that there was no black community, just poor communities that in some areas were predominantly black.

I don't know who plays golf around here, but the best golfers in the world are the way they are because they concentrate on where the want the ball to go, not on the pitfalls they need to overcome.

If you want an opponent to hit the ball into the water, just say to him "watch out for the water" he won't be able to think of anything else and ... splosh!.

And while we're on the subject of Golf, another apparently white preserve, look how tiger woods has upset the status quo there.

People don't see him as a black golfer any more, just a good one.

Change is happening guys and it's good and as long as Obama concentrates on his game he'll continue to be in with a chance.
