I sent a letter to both Democratic candidates, asking if when they spoke of minority issues, were they speaking to Black issues, or issues that pertain to ALL minorities. Even if they had time, I'm relatively certain they would have skirted the question. Whenever you watch the cable gossip networks, known to many as the cable news networks, or even the network news, guests that are brought on the shows to provide "expertise " about race are African Americans 19 times out of 20, and I suspect the twentieth person was a second choice. Based on this, it would seem only Blacks know anything of discrimination. The media propagates this way of thinking by never asking other minority members to speak of such issues. Yes, it is true that no one in my family tree was ever a slave, but I have been a victim of discrimination, and continue to see discrimination. The above named issue is a very good example. I live in San Antonio, TX, where being Hispanic is very common, but I spent more than 20 years traveling with the military, and witnessing predjudice. In San Antonio, where Hispanics outnumber any other race, we have the largest Martin Luther King Day Parade in the country, and thousands of Hispanics march hand in hand with Blacks for this event. I was looking over my pictures of a protest march several years back supporting a street be named after Ceasar Chavez, as one had been named for MLK, the great civil rights leader. I could not find even one Black person in my photos, marching along with the Hispanics, and I took no less than 20 pictures of thousands of Hispanics joining in this cause. I feel no obligation to vote for Obama, because I'm relatively certain that the minority issues he addresses will be skewed toward Black minority issues. And so if the policies for the 2 candidates are very similar, I'll vote for the person with more experience.There is a unity when a cause benefits a cause or brings to light an injustice to a Black American, but when it's a poor Mexican Amirican child in San Antonio, that is only local news. Until someone addresses this glaring problem, this country will not see any true unity. Further example is as follows: Several years back, Black Americans complained they were under represented on television and in movies. Today it is much easier to find programs that have all Black casts, than to find casts with mixed racial make-up. If Hispanics now make up the largest minority in the country, why is George Lopez the only Hispanic with a TV program? I refuse to believe there are that many more talented artists in the Black community than in the Hispanic community. There are always commercials for the NAACP, but most people think LULAC is a mispelling of a color or scent.
