I agree with you, and like you I looked at the Republican Party as a viable alternative. They just aren't speaking to the issues that effect the everyday lives of so many African-Americans while Democrats are. Don't get me wrong, I know the Democrats don't do much more than talk, I'm not a fan of that party either, but I've had a few experiences with the College Republicans at my school that fit the stereotypes of Republicans all too well. Combine that with some of the former leadership of the party such as Strom Thurmond and Trent Lott, and I don't see how the Republican Party is supposed to be attractive to voters of color.

But back to my original point, if we're going honor what Dr. King stood for and his legacy, then we need to do it properly instead of feeling better about ourselves because we took one day to do some community service and talk about how much we've progressed.

Champions never rest on their laurels.

I'll co-sign on that.
