Black Professional: So Rare...

I might as well be an Ashkenazi Jew...

I've been blessed to be able to do so many things and meet so many amazing people. My latest foray into awesomeness was Chris and John's wedding but once again, I noticed something that was missing...

Black people.

Nah, it's not because either one of them discriminate...it's just they've not had a chance to meet awesome sistas and brothers to befriend. There was another colored lady :) but she was African and there is a distinct difference between Africans and Americans of black descent (to be a little more politically correct :) So again, I shared this amazing occasion by my melatonin lonesome self.

Maybe it's because I didn't go to historically black college or university or med school or residency that I get this skewed view of being the only person to make it this far. Lol, I realize it's hyperbole but when you take it into context with living in Kentucky, then you see why.

I look forward to the day that I meet other successful young black gay guys with which to cavort. I did run across one (hi Karsh!) and I'm keeping my lookout for them everyday, especially ones that may be near me geographically (but in keeping with the title, I'll keep it just to black professionals.)

I believe that black professionals are the key to revitalizing the black race in America and organizing them into a strong political force. With the help of folks like Oprah, Bill Cosby, Colin Powell, and less of Al Sharpton, Jessie Jackson, Louis Farrakhan, and Pastor Wright, we could be a force to reckon with. I'm not sure how I feel about Obama yet (cuz I'm too busy adding a black tax to him...) but once I do more reading, I'll have to see which side of the fence we're on.

In the meantime, I'll keep on representin' in every which way I can, for as long as I can, until it wears me out...
