Obama: Living History Out Loud
Wednesday Jun 4 2008
4-1-1 + The Village - No BackTalk
Who Am I? Just a woman falling madly, deeply, truly in love with life. A poet/writer having a wild affair with words. A person whose mission is to live from a place of joy, embracing all that's beautifully human about myself, and moving deeper into the EVOLUTION & the REVOLUTION of me. Still curious?

WOW.
Not sure what surprises me or warms my heart more…the fact that Obama is THE Democratic nominee for President…or…the fact that the fight to BE the Democratic nominee is over!!!!!!
History has been made. To be sure, I believe new history is made every day, in some way, shape, form or fashion. But this? This is something ELSE.
But this? This exceeds all. An African-American clinching the nomination of a major political party for President of the United States. Senator Barack Hussein Obama has effectively shattered a barrier more than two centuries old to become the first black candidate ever nominated by a major political party for the nation’s highest office.
My friend N called me last night to tell me that his uncle was in tears at the POSSIBILITY that an African-American was this close to being THE resident at the house on Pennsylvania Avenue. His uncle is 94 years old. That made me tear up too.
Wow.
Hold on to your seats folks…it’s about to be on and poppin’.
Media Images Target the Obamas

I.HAVE.NO.WORDS.
They say a picture paints a thousand words. This picture (particularly the second one) must have swallowed my words whole.
I’ve seen the first image before, the one with Obama in the scope of a gun. I heard the publisher “explain” the point of the image last week on the Michael Baisden show. Whateva.
But that second picture?
I.HAVE.NO.WORDS.
NONE.
I’d love to feign surprise, shock, or even some great sense of outrage.
There is just so much in the context of that second image. So very much.
Someone recently told me that we were witnessing the death of racism. I suppose I gave them a sceptical look with a very wry smile. They then challenged me saying, “Well you have to admit that things are better.” My comment, “For who?”
Even if I were the tiniest bit inclined to believe that we were witnessing the beginning of the end for racism, I getta tell you, we are straight supersizing STUPID. Daily.
I need a little Stevie Wonder to calm my nerves.
Peace & Love,
