History in the Making
I’m sitting down watching Barack Obama accept his party’s nomination for the Presidency of the United States. I don’t necessarily agree with all his positions, but I am taken back by the history of the moment. If you can’t appreciate the history in the making, it’s probably because you have never had a reason to.

Lots of people have made history and not all of it good for the people that they led down dark paths in history.

History always begins as history in the making. I may appreciate it, you may not. It doesn’t matter. It is what it is.

Time to put you big girl panties on and stop getting misty-eyed here. Didn’t you just tell us all to suck it up and be men?

Once people get their minds wrapped around one simple fact, dealing with politics is much simpler.

Yes, it was an awesome moment in history. Let’s all pause a moment to try to comprehend it instead of waiting 50 years for history to tell us what we’ve witnessed.

In the first place, Barack is half-white. Why is it he is constantly referred to as African-American? During last night’s speech he mentioned his father only as being born in Kenya–nothing else. Why not mentioned the
fact BHO Sr. abandoned his family? Barack repeatedly mentioned his white mother and grandparents(typical white folks) and their positive influence on him. Yet, he has completely taken the black vote for granted.
If it wasn’t for the civil rights movement, we would have had a black president decades ago. It would be a great day in America to finally have a black president, providing it’s the right man or woman. This guy favors policies that have led to the problems that continue to plague the black community today. He offers nothing new to them. The fact that so many, like Abdul, will vote for him simply because he is black demonstrates how little we’ve progressed in in this area.

Obama is taking the black vote for granted just like his white Dems have done over the past 60 years. Fact, he is a white man in black skin and he is not a descendant of slaves like the rest of black Americans. I have noticed Obama is not photgraphed with large numbers of black Americans. He seems to avoid them. He talks a good game, reason white Dems support him.
By the way, Dr. Martin Luther King was a Republican not a Democrat and so was Harriet Tubman, the conductor for the Underground Railroad.
