The time is here. We have arrived at a point in Ourstory that a man of color, dignity, honor, respect and intellect has come to serve this country. OK, yes, he's Black, but does that not include him in the dreams and progress of this country, our country?
Barack Obama has earned his way into Ourstory, into the halls of justice, serving we the people with passion, experience and focus. The coming of a Black president is here.
The race comments concerning Jeremiah Wright our now behind us. America struggled with swallowing words from a pastor who did not represent Obama's truest views. They tried to knock him down and out with the man's words, not his words, his own beliefs. If America can get beyond that, then American can accept Obama wholeheartedly. However, we are still dealing with major issues regarding race.
Obama is challenging America's stereotypes of what a Black man is, what a Black man is supposed to represent. The views of us on television are quite different from Obama's representation of an intelligent, classy, and sophisticated thinker who carries his African American brothers well through states in America that have not accepted us, even now, as human beings.
The coming of a Black President has come...
VOTE on November 4th! DO NOT wear Obama buttons, hats or t-shirts to the polls.
GIVE your neighbor a ride to the polls. Serve as a POLL WATCHER to make sure there is no funny business going on.
