The Perils of Racial Solidarity
A fellow South Carolinian, Kevin Alexander Gray has written a column at Black Agenda Report that points to the limits of racial solidarity, and the damage being done to the Black community by an unwillingness to examine Barack Obama's failings.
The link is there, so I don't think I need to try to replete what Kevin is saying, but there is no doubt in my mind that he hits on many of the same reservations most Greens have.
Gray was the Green Party endorsed write-in candidate for Governor of South Carolina before we had ballot access, and has been everything from director of the Carolina Peace Resource Center to a member of Nader's 2000 steering committee and currently serves as director of South Carolina's ACLU.
