Politics aside, today is a pretty amazing day.
I have so many feelings about this subject so I am going to try my best to organize the clutter in my head the best that I can.
Wow... Our country has come so far, we as people have come so far. A LOT of us still have far to go and we aren't quite where we should be but... we have a black president.
I am so proud to say that I live in a country where a person who once had to use seperate bathroom and sit in the back of the bus can now run for and even become our president.
Did I vote for him? No. But it had nothing to do with his skin color, after all he bleeds the same as I do.
Racism has always been something that truely HURT my heart. That someone should be treated less or devalued because their skin has a different mix of pigments and whatever else it is that makes skin different colors, has never made sense to me. Hair is different colors... skin is different colors. We are all people.
I can't imagine what it was like to live back in that time. Back when people were punished for their genetic make up.
50 years ago a bold man made a bold speech that started to change the course of history. I would give anything to see his face today, to talk to him and ask him how it makes him feel after all this time to see a black man RUNNING our country.
Politics aside.. the previous 4 years aside... the next 4 years aside. Something that so many people never ever thought would happen has happened. Today I am so proud of our country. I am afraid for our country, but I am proud of it the same.
