Barack Obama was heckled yesterday outside of a Florida Town Hall Meeting regarding his lack of attention to black issues, specifically the Jena Six prosecution and the Sean Bell shooting verdict.
I guess some black people are starting to realize the Obama needs to be held accountable for black issues just like any other candidate. Unfortunately for him, he has to play it "middle of the road" for fear of alienating mainstream voters. Obama is in a very tough position, but he realizes that despite the protests, he'll receive 90-95% of the black vote, so he does have to specifically address the needs and issues of all people if he's going to have a chance to be elected. Thanks to the New York Daily News for the story.
