I’m speechless as I’m writing this. History has been made. A person whose skin is naturally tan has may have a chance of bringing color to the white house. Barack Obama is the Democratic Presidential Nominee!!!! This is, if you haven’t seen in any newspaper headline, History in the making. As an African-American woman, I have goosebumps. I never thought this day would come. Having both Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama running for President was enough for me. Having the possibility that a woman or a black person could possibly be the next President was mind blowing. As an Obama supporter, I’m estatic. Again, I never thought this day would come and Obama’s win shows how far America has come and its possible future. Of course, In the beginning I had my doubts, racism is still alive and well, there are alot of racists who do not want any person whose skin shows the slightest brown to be President.
But for Obama to have so many supporters, win several primaries and super delegates shows that America is ready for change (I know, I Know…that’s apart of his campaign, but its true). We don’t want another Hurricane Katrina, We want our Troops Home, We want better health care, We Know that change will make that happen, Obama will make that happen.
As a role model to young African-American men, he’s showing them that they can achieve any and every goal and he’s achieved a big one, being the first African-American to ever clinch the Democratic nomination. This is something I want my younger male cousins to soak in and be an inspire them. He’s up there with Denzel Washington, Forest Whitaker, Michael Jordan and Tiger Woods, breaking barriers and not letting the color of your skin hold you back from your dreams. It’s makes me even more proud to be an African-American woman.
Congratulations to Senator Barack Obama and Good luck to him, his wife, Michelle Obama and their two daughters Sasha and Malia. If all goes well, You’ll be moving into the White House in November and I expect an invite to your first “White House Cookout” LOL
