yea man tears, i cant sit back and not get emotional knowin that just 20 years before me, Blacks couldnt walk down to the diner and get a drink. that it wasnt"right" for my mom to go to school wit someone like myself.... MLK, Malcolm, all kinds of things come to me when i seen that. Some realization ofthat is what occurred to me.

hard for me to explain but i dont think its important to explain, you either understand (or appreciate) the struggle of those before you OR YOU DON'T

I DO

IM PROUD, and i aint votin cause he black either. S!!! he black and white like me. but he represent somethin i will stand behind and for. You ever had thatbefore?
 
I'm almost in tears myself. For some reason this just hit me bigger then I thought it would. no pedo but the pick of his daughters with cornrows andthought "damn somenoe that looks like me is going to be president of the United States of America". the one where he is cleaning up after himself isaww inspiring that a man with arguably the biggest position and status symbol in the world still takes time to wipe up his own mess, and I can't even givea sandwhich to someone without thinking about it and thinking tha ti am doign something good. The pick with his old shoes knowing that he could get any thinghe wants.

It really presents a stark contrast to the whole Palin wardrobe issue as well.
