I gotta say here...the last " white pride " demonstration I saw was in Greensboro,

NC a few years ago.  All these young drunk white kids sporting confederate flags

driving slowly thru town just made me laugh.  I felt ZERO white pride at seeing

these idiots act like that. 

Perhaps there are blacks out there who feel the same when they see young black

kids standing around in the streets out of the same boredom as those white

kids and " expressing " themselves rudely to everyone who will listen. 

 

I am a woman who has grown up in the South and I am quite disgusted with the

so-called " black hip-hop culture " I see day in and day out and was just " this

close " to being a racist herself.  But, in the end, Obama and other caring

Blacks changed that.  He reads, writes, and speaks like an educated, concerned,

and balanced man.  Unlike our previous white President, I might add. 

 

Though only half this country agrees, I find it nice that we can still extend

out our hands to each other despite our differences.  It reminds me of the few

people who say bad things about gay people, until they get to know one.  If you

truly are open-minded, then read Obama's books at least.  There is something

about reading someone's thoughts on paper that is worth more than any internet

sling or news bite. 

 

And you know there is still hope when you find a political cynic like me

weeping joyfully over a simple acceptance speech on Nov. 4.  I don't remember

doing that before....

<<At any rate he is now the president-elect. Lets hope he doesn't get

assassinated and touch off racial strife of a kind this country has

never seen.>>

 

So, I'm not the only one who braced herself for a gunshot during his acceptance

speech in Chicago, huh.  So many times before, good men have gotten murdered.  I

sure hope he and his family have kick-ass Clint Eastwoods and Denzel

Washingtons around them!  There's so much riding on this and many bad people who

want him dead.
