I am very very excited. Honestly, I would have been excited if it was Hilary too, but seeing the First Family walk onto the stage, and realizing that they looked like me was something that I can't really express in words. I always grew up in a family that encouraged me to do well in school, and that told me that I could achieve whatever I put my mind too. But in the back of my mind, and in the back of the minds of many minorities I think there was still that stigma that there really was some stuff that we just couldn't do. Last night all those hidden feelings came to front and I realized that everything really was possible. More than that I was very proud to be an American. I think this was a good first step for America and I can't wait to see what else is coming.
Yes we can! feels great to have Obama as my president.I'm glad to see everyone in this thread is in good spirits
And, I really hope that feelings you have expressed permeate the rest of the minority populations and become ubiquitous. The sooner we all begin to understand that we have progressed to the point that race ISN'T an issue for the vast majority of people and that first and foremost we all ARE Americans the better. Like I said, even if this presidency flops in every other way, if it happens to inspire ubiquitous American pride and racial unity then it will all be worth it. More than anything I want to live in a fully united country.
Why?
