We Done Good

Well...it's 11:25 PM June 3, 2008...a historical date.  Tonight Senator Barack Obama became the presumptive Democratic nominee for President of the United States of America.  B-A-R-A-C-K  O-B-A-M-A  Are you kidding??? Oh my God!!!  I'm very excited but more importantly I'm very proud. Not just because my guy won, but because we as a country accomplished something grand.

Regardless of party affiliation a loud and wonderful statement was made.  We have come closer to the realization of MLK's Dream of a world where color is no longer an impediment. Even if Barack doesn't win the presidency we as a country won.  We as a people decided that the "content of our character" is what matters beyond all else.  

There is a lot  more to be done to heal race relations in this country.  For some of you it may be surprising to hear that racism is still alive and kicking...well SURPRISE!!!  But tonight when the magic number of 2,118 was surpassed by Senator Obama  I felt proud, and you should too.  

Now comes the real battle.  There will be harsh things said, and a lot of feelings will be hurt. The unity many see right now will soon melt away.  But tonight, we done good.

Stay Fly and Fly High!
