No matter who you did vote for…..Obama getting elected is historic and makes me proud.
I am overjoyed that my children will never know a United States that hadn't elected a black president.
It makes me hopeful that one day racism in this country will truly be a thing of the past….
Frankly, in my own life I have not been witness to much racism. I grew up in Boston and part of my childhood was spent in a predominantly black section of Boston, Roxbury. I just never knew about racism. We were raised people were people and that's that. In fact, it wasn't until I moved to Pensacola Florida did I realize that racism is, indeed, alive and well in the United States. I was 23 years old at the time and it was the first time I had ever truly seen racism first hand. I couldn't believe it! I am not fool enough to think racism could be eliminated completely, but I do think this is a huge step…..
With Obama getting elected, I see one more racial divide, eliminated. Forever
Anything But Gray
