Obama is the first president that's EVER given me hope. I've had none since losing my sister but watching him on screen EVERY TIME, fills me with a sense of being, of one-ness. Now I can dare to hope again, strive for change, have something to look forward to.
I get a chill just thinking about the Republican mess Obama has to clean up but can only imagine what race relations will be like in the future. A black president in my lifetime is awe inspiring.
The next big moment in my life will be the first latino president but that's gonna take another 10-15 years at least. We'll most likely have a female president before a latino. I don't think white america, well the McCain part of it, could take a latino president yet.
Racism is by no means done and over but it is in mortal danger and suffering from as huge wound. Bush got Obama elected, of that there's no doubt. His complete inability to lead and the incredible damage he's done to this country, from the automotive industry to the housing industry, is what got Obama elected by getting the public motivated to remove the cancer from the White House.
This was going to be my last election if McCain won. At least I don't have to move to Canada now.
There will be a lot more black faces in commercials formerly geared toward whites and the corporate media has already started tossing every black correspondent in front of the camera they can find. I also predict a rise in interracial relationships. I just hope the cats in the peejays get the message that they can be something more than a rapper or a basketball player.
Blacks have the ultimate role model now. I can't wait to see what he does next.
