And in case you didn't get it from those comments, my point is that racism isn't dead.... it's still very much alive and squirming below the surface with some people. But I'm pleased as punch at this MONUMENTAL progress!! The dream isn't dead, either. See my comments to your last post, herein incorporated by reference.

So I heard the horns and people cheering and fire crackers and such (I live in the burbs) so I just sat on my patio and listened and cried tears or pride & joy.

YES! This was a huge moment, too. Immediately after thinking about how well "President Obama" sounds to my ears, I thought about the lovely image of a Black Family. Of Black Love. The mini Obamas running around the White House. LOVE IT! I (sadly) didn't get to attend the rally in downtown Chicago, but please believe Chi-town was SHUT DOWN after the rally.

Im not claiming it. There are some white people out here that would take a bullet for me quicker than a black person would. And in my life I know of at least 2. To me racism could also be an indication or inability to culitivate relationships with people who don;t look like us. That does not discount history. Its real. I got stories. but for the right to vote...1965...we have two white jewish men to thank. we need to learn a little of our own history and sig. relationship whites (jews particularly) had with our collective struggle. that is all. as a kid who has experienced some not so nice things with being one of maybe 5 black kids in a classroom…i rebuke it all.

Dallas had mixed emotions. This is McCain/Republican country..and they aren't happy with the results. I am looking forward to seeing how President Obama begins to unite and win people over. I have to admit that I thought about affirmative action. It reminds me of how people resisted that change also. This election is a transition of a younger and accepting generation that is looking for the future. The journey has just began. That's my 2 cents worth.
