And I don't think AA's need to get any more politically active than any other group, we all need to do more. People have noted in this thread that there are plenty of strong, black leaders.

But I'm speaking specifically about the AA community (or as someone else noted, minorities in gernal) and their relationship with the online activist community, because there seems to be a fairly large disconnect.

If the future of the Democratic party, and in fact the future of politics in general, is going to continue to be dominated by the internet, and message boards like DU, blogs like Kos and sites like MoveOn, I think it's vital to make sure everyone is involved, blacks, asians, hispanics, whites, everyone. But as it stands, online activism seems more or less dominated by whites. I don't think that's healthy in any scenario, and I know it's not healthy for our party or our country.
