I saw hope


Hope is indeed a good thing. Last night I had dinner with a dear friend that is indeed racist towards blak people. Its saddens me really. He equates a section of people that go generations living on handouts to all black people. Geez. Yeah we go round and round. Doeant he realize I am marrying a black woman when he says this stuff? Weird part is he is supportive of this.

Back to hope. I woke up early to vote. Left early. I still ended up voter number 311 despite getting there 45 minutes early on a saturday. My and I talked to two black men in line for about an hour. It was never about politics. People who come there should have already made up their mind. If they havent then they really should not be voting. Many shouldnt anyway because they vote on emotion to begin with instead of important factual infrmation. I have checked out both Presidential Candidates and I know what was true and what was not.

Anyway, I saw a lot of African Americans there and many had this sense of pride and accdomplishment. I know it is because they finally feel this sense of arrival because a black man is in position to become the leader of this country. Unfortuantely of all the great great black men in America, this one is a disaster waiting to happen, but none the less I get it. My wish would be that they are intelligent and well versed in American history, constitution and policy to realize this man is not an American Patriot at all.

But I found myself feeling good for them because I knew it changed something in them forever.
