Politicians, Hollywood and the media do NOT want you to listen to people like Isaiah Washington. They always publicly talk about equality, but only if it's on their terms. Judging by recent comments by Washington, I don't think he cares whether they like it or not.

The author and former “Grey’s Anatomy” star posted a thread to Twitter Thursday evening talking about how it’s way past time for black people to stop believing Democrats have their best interests at heart.

I think it's stupid to believe anyone, especially a politician, Republican or Democrat, have other people's best interests at heart. That's just common sense.

Blacks need to get involved in the political process. Vote, run for office, support candidates, etc. We need more representation of women and minorities in politics.

Why do people think that certain groups need to be "told" how to vote?
