Black is the New Political Happy Color

Blazing a Bright Trail: Personally, either Hillary or Bernie would please me. She's not yet fired up and his visions aren't broad enough, but their foundations are solid though I've made it clear that I believe #WomanPresidentMatters.

Which is why my message remains sound. They need to stop planning and thinking and strategizing privately as if what matters are their secret goals. Instead, they need to openly huddle around ideas that grow what Obama has already done and say to themselves, "What would a black president do?"

Black is the new happy color in politics and change agents need to wear it proudly.

Seems trite and borderline offensive if you react emotionally, but not if you give it a bit of consideration. Having been blocked from using the full presidential capacities of his office, Obama rode out the game of niceness until he was forced to say enough: "we have to do what is right." And in so doing, he turned to his grounding and began his executive initiatives that have lit the way toward bringing core justices into the open -- which, of course, is exactly what is causing conservatarians to be so disoriented that they actually believe the glowing White Trump is a savior.

As such, the smart path either Hillary or Sanders needs to "Bern" has to be one that continues what their predecessor started. They can readily blaze and expand the same old trail comfortable all while steadying the course the black guy saw and charted successfully. History is going to show that Obama did well on many fronts.

For an avowed Democratic Socialist or the first female Commander-in-Chief to deviate from these steps in favor of building strategies just to call them their own does a disservice to the heart of Obama's efforts. Plus, such traditional approaches would play all the more into the hands of the opponents who will try to use all types of corporate tactics to derail their more solitary struggles.

If either allows this, then they would be culpable in pushing the black guy deeper back into the bus of progress from which he escaped. On every front, black is the Democrat's happy color! Take pride in that.
