OBAMA'S DNC SPEECH...

Doing things a little different today because I was so moved last night by Obama's speech that I've been watching it all day, and it still gives me the same inspiration as it did the first time that I heard it live last night....





There aren't enough words that I feel are equivalent to describe how monumental this was to Black America's history. Forget Diddy! Barack IS the new BLACK AMERICAN DREAM and as the parent of a black male, I am so truely inspired to encourage my baby to grow up and become more than just another talented athlete or musician. To push my goddaughters to become more and exceed America's expectations. Teach our daughters that while nursing is a great career field, but becoming a physician would be even greater! To expect, strive for, and appreciate a higher education. Encourage our male children to become a successful architect and not just "settle" for becoming a construction worker. To become a CEO and not just another corporate worker! To basically NEVER strive for anything but the HIGHEST success.

Never in my 27 years have I felt so proud to be black and living in America! Besides the reality of the issues that Barack supports, the fact that so many of our black elders never thought that they would ever live to see this day because they grew up in an inhumane society is so emotionally overwhelming. The success of Obama's campaign alone should be a blunt reality check to those who still live in America today choosing to live by the same ignorant, immoral, and disrespectful habits of a racist and discriminating society!

Barack Obama has partially reached one of the ultimate goals of black society by being nominated by the Democratic party and I am so proud to be a huge part of determining the outcome of his next history making move which is becoming the FIRST BLACK PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES!

"8 IS ENOUGH!"

PLEASE REGISTER YOURSELVES, AND ENCOURAGE OTHERS, TO VOTE! Your future, Our future, AND our children's futures depend on it!

*Awwww....I almost feel like waving an American flag, but I'll save that for November 4th! Lol
