Just Because He's Black
A white man asked his black friend, 'Are you voting for Barack Obama just because he's black?'
The black man responded by saying, 'Why not? Hell, in this country men
Are pulled over everyday just cause They're black; passed over for Promotions just cause they're black; Considered to be criminals just Cause they're black; and thousands of you Won't be voting for him just because he's Black!
However, you do not Seem to have a problem with that! This country Was built with the sweat And whip off the black slaves' back, and now a Descendant of those same Slaves has a chance to lead the same country, Where we weren't even Considered to be people, where we weren't allowed To be educated, drink
From the same water fountains, eat in the same Restaurants, or even
Vote.
So yes! I'm going to vote for him! But it's Not just because he's Black, but because he is hope, he is change, and he Now allows me to Understand when my grandson says that he wants to be President when he Grows up, it is not a fairy tale but a short term goal.
He now sees, Understands and knows that he can achieve, withstand and do
ANYTHING just because he's black.
