YES WE CAN...

elect a Black man to the presidency. Harry and I were absolutely giddy when CNN announced the news.




And although it seems heaven sent
We ain't ready, to see a black President
-2pac's, "Changes"

If only 2pac had lived to see the day.


[MORE TO COME]

Tupac’s song “Changes” really captures the emotions of the time. The song was written in the early 90’s and we’re now here at this monumental time in history more than 12 years later. There have been changes, but we have to recognize the fact that Obama is a self-identified African American although he is biologically biracial and was raised by white grandparents and was elected after (and perhaps because) GWBush ruined the country. So are we, as a voting public, really over all of our prejudices? No. Absolutely not. This is one giant leap towards erasing the discrimination all minorities feel, but we’re still very far off the goal.
