it's about that time...
with Hillary stopping the state roll call asking for a nomination by acclamation a few minutes ago it's now official. Barack Obama has become the first Black nominee for a major political party.
this is the closest any minority has come to become president of the United States of America. it isn't over. it's just beginning. but it is finally time to get down to the final battle...his final test to get IN the Whitehouse is just starting. but Hillary definitely put the final touches on making it official with her powerful speech last night at the Democratic National Convention. she called out McCain and called her supporters who said they'd vote for McCain to get back at Obama out as well. she was very impressive and showed she could be a strong candidate in the future. but for now she is fully behind our current nominee and our true chance for change and a living legend. the next 3 months won't be easy at all and i never really thought i would see someone come this far in my lifetime. or at least not before i had grandchildren...maybe in my 60s but definitely not at 27.
do you realize what's happening right now? all those stories we read about MLK and Malcom X and Harriet Tubman and Rosa Parks...THIS IS THAT BIG if not bigger. A BLACK MAN IS THE DEMOCRATIC NOMINEE! do you have ANY idea how crazy this really is? just saying this 4 years ago would have gotten you laughed at. saying it just 40/50 years ago would have probably gotten you killed.
it's an exciting time to be alive. with all of the Black people out there working so hard to embarrass us as a people and make us look like a bunch of ignorant clowns (Plies, Shawty Lo, Flavor Flav, mediatakeout, and all the people on hotghettomess.com) it feels good to have a Black man to look up to and one that is doing what no one before him has been able to do.
oh yes...it is officially Obama Time.
