Changing the blind political preference in place now, is the key to opening the "Door"!

Boston votes against the Presidential agenda of Change, NO MeniNO! Boston Moves Backwards instead of forward as usual. Boston votes for the old horse MeninNo, Boston votes overwhelmingly against progress, change and improvement, Menino makes it to the mayoral general election, when he should have not run or should have lost. Old feelings of old Boston racism and the negative politics of control still lives on to haunt Boston …as Boston votes against diversity. 21st century City campaign by Sam Yoons visions for Victory struggled against old fashioned and out of date Boston politics as Boston fails to embrace the next generation of leadership, Flaherty is left to pick up the pieces – as David faces an old Goliath in the battle to move Boston forward instead of backward. The Solution: Diverse Leadership in Bostons Black Community, The voice of the black community is not limited to the Ministerial/Church Community, if so...Where is the white ministerial leadership in Boston, are the not leading all of the white people?, does the church run political decision making process in Boston? Let us look at professional people who work to develop and plan the future of Boston, both in the community/public setting and the business world, after all if there is no business, commerce or social interaction between various people, businesses and community organizations the City would fall apart, Therefore let us look at the Black/minority community development Architect, who works both day and night creating the dreams and plans of how we want to see our city develop. We are in a new time and era of the American city; a multifaceted perspective is what is needed in order to have more progress come to Boston and its communities. Let us look at the progress, perspectives and opinions of Boston’s Black Architects. The call for Leadership in Boston is heard by everyone and does not only rest in the church or the City/state, politicians, mayors and our church community are only part of the solution, so let us not over-glorify old or traditional forms of leadership in political decision making but let us look at the over-arching factor of the Black architect of consistent leadership in the development of Boston and not the overrated old model of political leadership especially if that model is overtaxing the public by not moving on and letting the city grow new wings and attain new heights of leadership and welcome much needed change to Boston a city which has always or often cast a dark political shadow, so in conclusion shall we open up a window and let the sun shine in and shed light on Boston’s new leadership and enter a new era of leadership for our American city. The Political Scene is Set, The Problem.
