This is so true, many men and women have died and sacrificed portions of their lives by giving to the service of America. And the last thing we should do is sqaunder it.
Also, as I have said. Voting for Obama is going to change the world. Already other countries stand with their mouth agape because we have elected a ‘black’ president. America has a reputation of being a rich white man’s country. But now we have finally shown we are a diverse culture, as we advertise to the world, but had never delivered until now.
So many doors have been opened last night. Now lets hope some minds have been as well….
It is a great thing that our country has elected a black man I can agree with that. However there are just too many unknowns about this particular man and I can’t stomach his believe system. I vote mainly based on who lines up with my moral beliefs. That said I’m not thrilled about who McCain is either. So I guess we will all see who Brack Obama is and how he handles the country. I have a feeling we will need a lot of prayer.
I am all for diversity, but not at the expense of other important issues. I’m glad our country elected a black man to its head office, but I wish it was a man who stood for the principles that I do. I feel ambivalent about this whole thing; I’m with Howie, concerned that this man is a big unknown, regardless of his race.

This video sums it up for me, when the Afro-american community nearly go into shock after hearing that Obama is our new President. It goes to show that we don’t(or didn’t) live in a racially fair society.
This alone is a great step in the relationship between the black and white members of this country.
We can now say we are truely the land of oppurtunity and diversity. And not a society just for the rich and the white.
“People will love the United States more than ever,” Barrie said. “Do you know why? Because we showed the world already that this is United States. … We are human beings, everybody is equal.”
A quote from an African Immigrant about last night’s election!!!
When you are on the white side, it’s easy to say that this is history. But raising three beautiful black children, I can tell you it wasn’t.
Now we can start to say….it is.
