Obama Youth Corp: shades of the Black Panthers?

This video is an example of what has some conservatives very nervous about Sen. Barack Obama being elected president.

Some in the media are already comparing the Obama Youth Junior Fraternity Regiment to the Black Panthers.

I can’t say I blame the rednecks for getting alarmed. The youths march around in military uniforms saying things like “Obama takes on racist America!,” and chanting “yes, we can” which, as you know is Obama’s campaign slogan.

This video of the regiment going through their daily routine reportedly caused the suspension of a middle school teacher in Kansas City, Mo.

Well, I for one will be happy if this Obama Youth Fraternity thing takes off and involves youths in America’s urban communities. It’s time we take our youth back from BET and MTV and teach them to respect themselves again.
