I Support Barack Obama For President
This is More Than History! It Is a Cultural Healing*****...
In 1970 I was working after school to pay for clothes and books. I was going to an accelerated high school and the price of books were totally astronomical. Let us not speak about the tuition at all. It still hurts, ouch!
I went window shopping in downtown Cleveland,Ohio and saw a beautiful white eyelet lace blouse with the price tag sitting right beside it. I thought just the feel of that blouse on my skin would be little piece of heaven. I decided to save up and buy this beautiful blouse.
I took three weeks of my after school earnings hoping and praying that the blouse was still there. It was. I went in this store and asked to have the blouse packaged to buy & take home.
The store clerk said, "We don't sell to your type of people. You know coloreds can't shop here. I'm asking you to leave the store, now. " I didn't know. I could tell you many more stories about this type of sick thing happening.
The point is Barack Obamas' promise is the hope my generation has had since Martin Luther King, John & Bobby Kennedy, MalcomX, the 60s' & 70's movements for women, races, and oppportunties. When Barack Obama was pronouced the President Elect something got healed in my heart this November 4, 2008.
Until this day happened I still had hope but had no hope platform. I still loved folke but couldn't be for them all the way. I wanted to help the young children of this world but did not feel I had anything to offer them. It is hard to keep hoping this long without becoming a little bit negative.
Now I can open myself up like I did once before during the sit-ins, marches, and freedom rides to the south for voter registration. To fight the good fight again with the help of the government this time, especially the president.
I am so happy so many Americans feel the same way about the future and the Earth. My heart is truly full and my cup runneth over in ways I can only hope you could imagine. I am truly blessed that the Creator allowed me to see this day. You know so many who came before me and took so many knocks for me deserved to see this day much more than I. I am truly humbled before my Creator and my nation.
I don't mean just black people. Without the other races and religions in this country the Underground RailRoad would never have survived or been created. At every junction other races and religions took up the fight, too! They lost much and sometimes lost their lives in that process. We as a Nation have won a great and bitter sweet victory.
We all want to be one with our roots in this country. All of us came from somewhere else(except the American Indian - thank you guys,too!) or our parents did or their parents did but we are now and always will be Americans. And, we all helped to put Barack Obama in the White House as the 44 President of the United States of America. God Bless Us All!
Peace and Much Much Love to You.
