WOW. This was truly a riveting statement. It also brings the honest truth of oppression many African Americans have gone through and still go through into fruition......let us do our part and encourge as many as we can......get out and VOTE!!!!!! Have a great day..... Because He's Black, NO, BUT BECAUSE HE IS HOPE AND CHANGEThis older white guy asked his older black friend, 'Are you voting for Barack Obama just because he's black'? So the older black guy fires back and says, 'Are you not voting for him because he's black? Why can't I vote for him just cause he's black? Hell in this country men are pulled over everyday just cause their black, passed over for promotions just cause their black, considered to be criminals just cause their black, but you don't seem to have a problem with that This country was built with the sweat and whip off the slaves back, and now a descendent 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 you damn right I'm going to vote for him! 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 he wants to be president when he grows up, it is not a fairy tale but a short term goal, Because he sees, understand, and knows, he can achieve, withstand, and do anything just because he's black!
P.S.) Now please know that this is intended to activate everyone deep thinking and acknowledement of what Barack Obama is bringing to the world.. He is bringing a deeper understanding of what is meant by "We Are Our Brother's Keeper".
