Changes

And although it seems heaven sent We ain't ready, to see a black President - Tupac Shakur

Ten years ago, this line was released in Tupac's song "Changes". Well, people, we've made it. Now, I'm not African-American but I'm still proud of this country's response. I'm proud of the fact that just one generation away from the civil rights movement, the changes necessary have come. Sure, there will always be stupid people out there but overall... it's all good.

Good job, America. I didn't vote for him and I didn't vote for McCain either. My conscience wouldn't let me vote for either. For various reasons but none of it had to do with race. I'm proud to be alive right now. I believe in equality of all people and that's one of the things the America I love stands for. It's the reason my favorite president remains Abraham Lincoln. While we still have a long way to go before equality is fully recognized and plenty more hurdles to overcome, this is one huge step.

And I respect who President elect Obama seems to be. I respect him for many reasons and DAMN! that was a good speech last night.
