“Run In The Spirit of Kunta Kinte”
Running from Race is serious business. In a telling scene from Alex Haley’s “Roots,” Fiddler’s prayer, played by Louis Gossett, Jr., is heard when Kunta Kinte, played by Levar Burton, answers, “Toby...” in response to the question, What’s your name? The character Toby in Haley’s “Roots” is an antithesis to who we are and who we must become and our skin color, yours nor mine, is not a factor.

Can we admit that Race is the culprit behind the blights, miscalculations, and innuendos known to occur in the politics of news reporting? When we can admit that, then we will have almost become ready to run from Race. Run Obama Run…
President Obama is running from race and we’re talking about running. A major defect in your sight occurs when you're not running. We can’t see what President Obama sees because we’ve fail to run. We stand by this phenomena called Race. And it becomes our standing and further handicaps our progress as spiritual beings.
When you’re running from Race, you don’t talk about Race from a racial prospective because you have weightier matters to deal with as does President Obama. Things like justice, mercy, equity, fair play, responsibility to the poor and responsibility for the deprived. How quickly we forget those who Jesus referred to as the "Least of These." I strongly suggest to the salted American people that we must run, even if no one else does, run hard to catch up with our President and then concentrate with the full intention of outrunning him in these matters of the spirit.

Former President Jimmie Carter is the one person that I’ve heard on the national scene that admits that Race is a decisive impetus as well as a divisive barrier to an unbiased assessment of a presidential approval rating expressly from conservative America. However, they've muddied the waters of judgment for others with their one-sided reporting namely from Fox News. http://youtu.be/Mf-goMaQGN8 Former President Bill Clinton also admits that we must run from Race. http://youtu.be/ox4IYiAVq9A Run Obama Run…
It’s my assertion that the person in charge of Toby’s whipping feels that the reason he ran is he refuses to accept his new identity as a slave. http://youtu.be/8ETnzur7oVA
Didn’t you see from the video that that one factor is more important than the slave master’s investment in him. http://youtu.be/_yEnbXugHig If we all want the same thing that Toby was after, freedom to exercise his inalienable rights, then we can take this cue to run from Race even as I applaud President as he does so.
With residue a racial caste system like ours still in tact, one is strongly urged to accept the system’s assessment and label concerning your own personage according to Race even though they know nothing about you. Then like Toby, that gives us more reason to run. We must run from Race until we get far enough away from Race that Race no longer affects our actions towards each another and others especially those who are out of work not to mention the homeless. Run Obama Run…
The system hasn’t changed. We must change the system. Run Obama Run…
