This past week has been a major blessing to all who were able to witness it. Whether you voted for him or not, watching Obama take his office was an amazing thing. More people are now aware of the avenues one must take to become president and the activities surrounding taking office. I hope all who participated have the patience to wait while Obama and his team try to fix this mess of an economy. He seems to be off to a good start
I am extremely proud that a person of color is in the white house for the first time. I am not overly optimistic that this will fix all the race issues America has. That starts at home with families. I have had various friends across the U.S. say that they are having issues in their cities with small anti-minority groups popping up. SMH. People need to grow up. As for how the Black community should take this....I don't know. I can not say that it will inspire instant unity and well wishes. The black community as a whole seems to be stuck in that Lynch theory. I refuse to participate in such small mindedness. Rather I hope this presidency is an inspiration to all races to try to better themselves because nothing can be gained or changed without an individual evolving.
I do not think this singal event signiies the fulillment of Martin Luther King Jr's dream. It is but a small step. I mean look at the cookies that bakery in New York was selling and the things the owner was saying. I think once people reach a point where they judge a person based on their personality, actions and words regardless of their race, we will have fulfilled Dr. Kings dream and we are far from that. ~be blessed~
