Color And Politics Comments

Very nice poem totally loved it

This is a very creative poem.Obama is incredible because he has a lot common sense. He is a very charismatic, straight-forward and truthful man.

A splendid rendition...of required reading! Excellent composition.

Even black diamonds have their price and place, and I do think the election was to much about race, my fears are from the color of skin but the politics he has joined in. it is a wonderful poem very insightful yet open and caring I was very pleased. keep writing these tens.

holy sh*t that was soooo good. i feel that so much. im half black and half white just like Obama. I got dark skin with green eyes and i am judged mostly on the color of my skin and not the color of my soul.2009 and the world is still filled with ignorance, stereo types, and racism. this election realy showed that black people still make a lot of white people uncomfy. but i guess they know now all dark skined people are not the same. beutiful piece girl

This is a well written poem and it contains much food for thought. Rgards Ron

the last stanza summarises the message...diamond or not...direct from mines or not... polished out from a factory or not... it is going to be a big challenge for Obama...time only would be able to tell about shine...nicely framed lines 10

Though you sound proper, I feel the thought of colour difference should not have risen at all at this instance..nice write10

You have written one of the best poems I have read depicting a humble conviction of a poet for a poet knows no race, knows no boundery, knows no kin for their soul are universal in spirit and character. a 10 for this. thanks and more power, melvin
