The New York Times and television news outlets are reporting that Senator Barack Obama is receiving Secret Service protection. He is one of the earliest, if not earliest, recipients of secret service protection in the history of presidential candidacies. No specific reasons were given officially, although CNN reported racial threats divulged in hate correspondences. Allow me to say that I am far from surprised.
What is interesting is that there are still many in America who truly cannot get over the hue of a person's skin or get over their own arrogance in believing that they somehow, by virtue of their "whiteness" deserve more or have more right to accomplishment, power and leadership. In fact the lack of vision or concern of some of these types of Americans denotes, in an of itself, a lack of the quality that produces true leadership, the resulting command of respect and the circumstances that would lead to power or accomplishment in any endeavor.
So in response to those small minds and sadly, even smaller visions, I say, 'run Barack run.'
