HUGE Night Last Night
There's so much that could be said about Barack Obama clinching the Democratic Presidential Nomination last night yet so little really needs to be said. All there is to do is imagine being black and over 50 and having been denied so many rights and what not and now, before your passing, you get to witness the nomination of a young, educated black man to one of the two major political parties. That's emotional to say the least and it's a new day in America, that's for sure. I, for one, am ecstatic for ALL Americans and for the whole world and human race but particularly for the older black folks who never thought they'd see this in their lifetimes. I'm SO SO happy for these grandmas and grandpas. It's still not a level-playing field but man, have we made some progress! Way to go, Barack Obama, way to go!
