African Americans have a dilemma

As the presidential candidates descend on South Carolina, it puts a smile on my face as I marvel at the media anticipation of what the African American community is going to do. The front-running democratic candidates have really caused a shakeup in the black community. I can only smile when I here Mr. Jesse Jackson backing Mr. Obama and his wife backing Ms. Clinton.

This is a dilemma that makes for and interesting South Carolina primary (January 19. 2008). A close look at the southern primaries will reveal the true colors of many. Will the honorary brother, "the first black president" Mr. Bill Clinton, (according to Arkansas; being inducted into the Black Hall of Fame) become the first man? Will Mr. Barack Obama, who "isn't black enough," get the nod? Have a white mother and a kenyan father is'nt the issue, he just "doesn't act black". Will Ms. Hillary Clinton get the black women’s vote? The pollsters, pundits and prognosticators and reeling. I'm looking forward to the results.

This political campaign is quite fascinating and why it is so curial to have a solid foundation and standard in choosing who/m to vote for; a standard devoid of race, gender, and political affiliation bias.

Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever. Hebrews 13:8

His principles and stance on the all issues never change. Therefore, it makes choosing a candidate to vote for simple; the one who agrees with Him, the most, vote for. This is why you don't see true Christians yelling and screaming at political events for any particular candidate. True Christians follow Christ, vote because we are to be in the world but not of it, and choose the most authentic candidate by a foolproof system. Just like the African American vote, a candidate's true colors are revealed when put in the light of scripture.

Watch, and pray.
