Obama was not the first, and certainly will not be the last black man to run for Presidency.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9822653.post-52877112824123369112009-02-06T14:00:00.000-05:002009-02-06T14:00:00.000-05:00Mmmmmm, Paolo.

I must read more of your writihg.<BR/> The old sunday school song struck a chord with me too ( I'm apparently of your generation maybe a decade older. I look it but must say you don't at all) those old church hymns and songs still run through my head a lot but now they are mulitple layered..recalling the hypocrisy they came from.<BR/> I was in the process of retiring from middle school teaching when Obama was starting his campaign.I heard this stuff from kids and was appalled that what i was trying to teach fell on deaf ears of well educated middle class people. I was praying that he would just survive to election, let alone sign in. I cried when he signed in, out of relief that he even got there alive.<BR/>bless you..I will follow more of your "stuff"<BR/>-CharlieBerry Bloghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12079390231632421561noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9822653.post-77282404460862748802009-02-05T17:18:00.000-05:002009-02-05T17:18:00.000-05:00Actually I've wondered out loud why nobody had tri...Actually I've wondered out loud why nobody had tried to assassinate Bush. <BR/><BR/>That said I find racism in any form to be ridiculous. And the thing is, it isn't just white v. black. <BR/><BR/>The Latino groups point fingers all the time. E.g. the Puerto Ricans I know don't like Mexicans. <BR/><BR/>It all has to do with what I term the concept of the 'other'. Even religion bases itself on that concept. <BR/><BR/>For too long we've let our leaders distract and mislead us. I think President Obama is the first clear break with those policies.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9822653.post-83740166510468958362009-02-05T16:29:00.000-05:002009-02-05T16:29:00.000-05:00AMEN BOTHER TO THE POST STORY AND THE CRUSH DE JOU...AMEN BOTHER TO THE POST STORY AND THE CRUSH DE JOUR!
