We black people have been awaiting this day forever !!! The pride I’m feeling right now is too much to describe, because it is so BIG, I received an email today that has a quote that sums it up very well:
”Rosa Parks sat so that Martin Luther King could walk. Martin Luther King walked so that Obama could run. Obama ran so that our children could fly.”
I am going to take this opportunity to expand on how I feel about this day in history. Especially speaking from a Black male’s perspective, and having some negative stereotypes about us that could hold us back. This changes everything, it makes you feel like you can shoot for the stars and accomplish whatever you set out to do. There are some people there that still want to connect his name with Osama Bin Laden (some fool at work used that remark today)… There will always be naysayers, but what we should say to each other when we need uplifting is “YES WE CAN !!”
