I firmly believe that the WASP members of the Silent Generation and older Baby Boomers are afraid that an African American will be elected to the high office of President of The United States of America.I believe that their fears lie in the thought that they may be punished for their thoughts,words and actions in the past,present and future.
For too many years the media and general population have preached political correctness and acceptence of all races as being one blood.I see the anger building in the Mid West and parts of the Good Old Boy Democratic South,particularly Florida.Fear is rising huge that a black man,not an American,but an African American will probably be the next president and with a landslide of 10% plus of the vote.
That day is almost here and then,and only then,can the healing of centuries old wounds on all sides begin to heal.I am so grateful that I was alive for such a momentus turning of the tide.How we as individuals handle this will determine the future of America.Are we the strong backbone of the world or are we just a bully that runs around the world preaching one thing and living another?
Most of you are too young to have lived through our own apartheid and I am here to tell you that it was a shameful time in our lives.Racism is alive and well today,it has just been relagated for the most part to the back of the closet.
Now is the time to fully examine our own motives,fears and goals for our children and to put aside any thoughts that someone who is different in color only ,is not capable of being a true American and capable of leading this country through these extrememly difficult times ahead.
