I could not start with out mentioning a huge milestone that we past as people... Although I am Canadian (and love being Canadian) I am still proud to see that USA has a African American President. I say proud because I too am black. I am not old enough to have physically/mental experienced slavery but I am well aware of my roots as a black man. To now witness a black president that is intelligent, diligent and an all around stand up dude. What more can we ask for?
A lot of people would argue with the fact that I am referring to him as a black man or an African American. I say this to them; if he was a criminal on the run he would be a 6 ft BLACK male in a hooded sweater... not a bi-racial half black/half white male... think about it...
I am going to end with a powerful line I found:
Rosa sat, so Martin could walk… Martin walked, so Obama could run… Obama is running, so our children can FLY!
