First post on my new blog. I figured that this would be an easier way for me to keep in touch with the people who have been kind enough to suppport me. I want to say thank you from the bottom of my heart to those who've stood behind me, watched me raise hell on TV or stood by me as I had my issues with my university. I work hard to be a good scholar, and I honestly must confess that I am tired of black people being told that we are not good enough. It's time for universities to hire more black professors, give them tenure and stop the BS. It's just wrong and flat out unAmerican.

Dr. Watkins,
I very much appreciate you. I am concerned that the Obama campaign is being beaten upon for no reason.
1) Senator Clinton needed to win big--commentary coming out of the primary just before the PA primary and for much of the period leading up to the elections. But she did not.
2) Senator Obama should say that Indiana is a "must win" for him only in the sense that he believes it would cause Hiliary Clinton to pack her bags.
3)Some way, I don't yet know how, but the idea needs to be infused that the problem is not with his campaign--which is running at maximum efficiency--but with a substantial chunk of the social fabric of this country--namely those sections where scholars find the greatest amount of racial intolerance and hesitancy--older, blue-collar and less well educated whites.
4)Obama should be saying that I will stay in the election all the way because I am winning until I fall behind in delegates, popular votes and/ or if I don't get a mathematically appropiate number of superdelegates.
5) He should be saying that I am going all the way to the Convention to win the old fashion way--which is by having the most votes--the most delegates--pledged and/ or super--and popular votes.
My name is Eric M. Mackey. I have a Ph.D. in political science from the University of Michigan. But I admit that no Ph.D. is needed for the thoughts I offer at this time.
Thank you dearly.
