Pinch Me, No It's Real

I have been a true believer from the start, now the American people and indeed the world know what Barack, Michelle, his family, and us loyal supporters have known all along. Yes he can. I will be honored to call him President Barack Hussein Obama.

They said it was dreaming the impossible dream, yet we accomplished the mission impossible, they said it couldn't be done, we did it. They said we didn't deserve it, and I'm here to tell you, God knows, do ever we deserve it.

We realize that our victory will be a bitter pill to take for some civic minded citizens in this country we live in, and have to learn to share. We know that very well, after all we have been swallowing that pill since the beginning of the history in the new world. We took the medicine they prescribed for us and survived it. Heck, we might have even got stronger because it was forced down our throats. Surely the the newly medicated here will be just fine as well.

Being a child of the nineteen sixties, growing in in the great red state of Alabama one's gotta have dreams. The harsh and often brutal living conditions that we were made to live under left us with little else but prayers, hope and indeed dreams. Dreams of living free in our country of birth. The country of freedoms. Those dreams of a equality of life were only fantasies bav
ck then.

My only regret now is that my parents have both passed on, and can't be here for this living history. I can just imagine my mama pulling that level for Barack, the joy on her face. That sight to me; priceless. Even during those very dangerous and dark times she had the strength and will to act on her beliefs. She did what blacks were suppose to do during the Movement, she walked to her job as domestic servant for wealthy white land owners. She work for the same family for over 10 years, the highest pay she got from them was two dollars a day. I know it sounds impossible, but all so outrageously true. She went to the church meetings. She shied away from certain businesses and other places. She withstood the pressure, from both blacks and whites. She never wavered in her courage, and dreams of equality.

In her lifetime tremendous change took place as to how blacks were treated in this country, and indeed part of the dream she longed for in her younger years was realized. She and others like her were able to live their country, and not be afraid to live freely in their country. And make no mistake I'm so so glad that my parents generation saw this all too deserved life change.

The unfortunate misfits that cause so much tearful destruction in the black community these days could learn a lot from the people who pave the streets of freedom that these jerks now splatter with their own blood. The youth today could never stand up to the things we, mostly my parents generation stood up to.

Yes I have been a true believer since he first announced. You see I had no other choice, growing up in the deep south in the pre-civil rights era left me only with the dreams to look forward, and I still believe in dreams. Living proof is here in Barack's most unlikely quest, that there's nothing wrong believing in dreams.

Bull Moose In High Heels

Wow! What a speech, she's a pick, she gave it to the Obamas good. Sarah hit all the right highs. And sank in the swamp of lows. The she moose that wears lipstick.

I was somewhat wrong, I thought she was brought in simply to attract Hillary's women. No double duty, she's here for the women, minor. She's here to challenge the Americanism of the Obamas, major. Just listen at her speech, it was filled with jabs at the Obamas blood ties to her America, and hers alike, this is our country, we just let you live here, ours!

Those were some dumb but small things the Obamas said during the primary season, and of course everybody knows that they love it here in the USA, what citizens in their placement in our society wouldn't love the land assured their success.

Palin mocked the Obamas viciously with a smile on her cute face. She even went after the very hard and honorable service of community organizing. The republicans found their woman. They love her. The force. The anti-Obama(s). She's always been proud of her country. She loves religion, she would never accuse small town low income whites of being bitter, gun clinging rubes, who only have the republican party to protect them from the evil doers on the wrong side of the civil rights debate, or using their religion to make themselves feel superior over others that come from a different backgrounds than theirs'. After all these rubes are the chosen people.

When this election is over and we have a new POTUS the Obamas will be just fine, no money concerns, no health care concerns, their kids will get the best of the best education. They will be able to live in any community in this country they choose. The Palins will be just fine, her family will have all the same non worries as the Obamas. The McCains will be more than fine. But what about all the small town folks just scarping out a living, people that vote republican because they perceive republicans to fill their need to feel superior. These peoples egos will be fed. But their bellies might be empty.

Sarah gave nothing in way of polices, she spent much more time talking indirectly about Michelle than she did talking directly about her own public service record. Michelle is not the candidate. Palin spent more time trying to scare the media off investigating her public service record, than she did telling all those clingy people in rural America what she and her President are going to do to keep them away from the welfare line they say they hate. I think they scared CNN, they were chastising themselves for questioning her after her acceptance speech. Yes she'll do her thing well. She will use her womanhood as a naturing mother, who is too female for Joe Biden to put her in her place in their VP debate.


The people bowing at Queen Sarah's knees just remember, after she has ran out of insults, she's being using the same ones since she used at the convention, word for word, after hardcore conservative crowds have stop cheering, after the newborn star has stopped twinkling. And that 300ft movie screen has been sent back to imax theater. You have to ask yourselves is my family going to be better off with these people in charge still.

By the way to McCain/Palin/Giuliani speech writers community organizing is a very patriotic service. These are the people in the trenches trying to better communities like the ones you are targeting for votes. They are the ones who go out and try to get school swings replaced so your children wont fall hurt themselves or worse. They are the ones who go out and try to get new investors to invest in your community so that you maybe won't have to work at kfc, to replace the high paying job you had in factory that closed or replaced you for cheaper labor.

Barack Black Enough

I don't know where the question of Barack being black enough originated from. Though, I suspect it came out of a Hillary Clinton campaign power point meeting, then was passed on to the media to create controversy among black voters. So I ask, what does that question mean? To look at Barack, it's obvious he's a black man. So the people who first ask of Baracks' blackness must be saying he does not fit into their view of how a black man is suppose to be. They want us to think if a black man is well educated, refined, works hard, and marries before he fathers children, and is a good husband and father he's not black enough. In my opinion, that is really sending out the wrong message to young black boys and girls. That it's bad to be black and achieve. That true blacks are only the under classed and downscaled.

Barack is Harvard educated intellectual, he could have went to work anywhere, yet he started his career on the south side of Chicago as community organizer for black churches. He was a civil rights attorney. He has worked very hard to help ex-felons get reincorporated in the community. And as we know most ex-felons are black and brown. He could have married any blond, yet he married his equal, the Harvard educated ebony Michelle. They could have lived in any affluent neighborhood, yet he and Michelle chose to raise their children in Chicago's south side. So what's the criteria of a persons' blackness? If Barack had not received a Ivy League education, would this make him black enough? Does the idea that he prefers arugula lettuce over iceberg have a bearing on his black credentials? Or in the case of my daughter who was recently told because she had never watched the 70's black television sitcom "Good Times" she was not black.

I hope that black Americans see this phony controversy for what it is. A load of crap. I especially hope that the black youth take heed of this. Everyone who is born in this country with black African heritage is "black enough". Whether a successful well educated senator running for President, or a high school dropout down on his luck. If one's roots began in Africa, then one's being black enough is not in question. Complexions don't matter. Bloodlines do. So who sets the rules for one being black enough in America? The answer to this question is: the heritage the of at least one of two people who conceived the offspring in question. Yes, Barack is black, inside and out.
