Washington Post: Liberal bloggers convention a whitewash - literally. Few minorities to be found.

Jose Antonio Vargas of the Washington Post reported that he saw few if any people of color or minorities in attendance at the liberal bloggers conference the Yearly Kos Aug. 5, 2007. That's no big surprise to me.

Liberals want minorities to support them and they do express concern for Latino and African-American issues. But when it comes down to it, the left wants minorities to cede our power so that they can make decisions for us. OK, even if liberals make choices we want, we're still not the ones with the control, the resources and the say-so.

Luckily for Latinos, we as a voting block are far from lock step in one party or another. I believe over time that attribute should prove we get more of a voice and eventually our hands on the levers of power. That day can't come soon enough.
