Think I need to renew my mind…

I will be renewing this wordpress thing soon. I fell in then out of love with it.

Time to revamp this thing a bit..

My schedule gets hectic, times passes by. Almost like i forgot about this blog. Think i’m going to attempt to divorce myself of my “infatuation w/her” , and focus on the new improved me!

Yes, we can…

 

 

So we did it, now what? Once the momentum is lost, once the Jan. 19 is over. Once our president, the “people’s president” is in office will we lose sight of what this whole movement was? We tend to look towards others for change. But will we forget that the change includes us?

This is the most informed we have ever been as a country. The most united we have been as a country. Yet, are we going to wash our hands of this and put it all on the back of Barack? To understand what’s happening & what needs to happen, we need to see that it’s only going to work if we all change. That’s the beauty of the whole, “Yes, we can” campaign. For the first time in history a candidate, elect, President…has believed in us as a nation. And we supported his dream.

But just like Dr. King showed, a dream is just a dream until put into action. This is historic for so many reasons. It’s not just a victory in equality. For all of us with common sense know that this does not mean we are equal. Just look at the voting in the southern regions. Look at how many African American & Hispanics voters registered and exercised their right to vote, how many liberal and educated white voters were impressed and moved by the “idea” of change. There were still enough uneducated rednecks, conservative liberals, right winged republicans to add to the McCain/Palin column. Although, very ”close” it still shed the same ”RED”  blood of all our forefathers drenched in their historic confederate shame. Being from the south, maybe this screams out to me more then to the people who feel like, “well he won, anyway!”.

So when I see people focusing on just the presidential race, when we still have an senate race looming in the shadows. When people say, “we still have the majority…” , and not really understanding that we still have the same “ol’ boys” out campaigning against change.  Again, Obama can’t do it without us! We don’t understand our part isn’t done.

I am a proud supporter, a proud citizen of the United States of America. This is the first time in history I have been as proud of my President. Don’t get me wrong, I loved Clinton. We all loved, Clinton. It’s not a “black” thing. It’s a overwhelming feeling of admiration. This is a educated man, elequent speaker, an community organizer, and a family man. Look up two paragraphs, he is this generation Dr. King, who is including every single one of us in his “dream”.  Why white people continue to keep their “one drop of black, makes you black” glasses on, totally confuses me. He is exactly what America is. Exactly what racist feared from “mixing” our races. He’s become the little boy who dreamed of the impossible and achieved it. This isn’t historic because of his skin color, it’s historic because the word “can’t” has been removed from so many children’s minds & hearts. He’s what I, my parents, nor my grandmother ever thought we’d see in our lifetime. He is change, we are change. Please, let’s continue to Unite our American States.
