An Historic Moment: Obama Clinches Democratic Nomination
If I had a million dollars, I would have bet it all that there's no way a black man could become a viable candidate in a presidential election in the United States of America. Low and behold, the people have spoken, and proved me wrong, yet again.
In a country where blacks are usually looked down upon, relegated to the lowest levels in society, have the lowest expectations placed upon them, a Black man actually has a fighting chance to end up becoming our next President; president of the most powerful nation in this world we live in.
Am I proud? Damn right. Will I vote for him? Probably not. But I'm still going to enjoy the moment. "We" don't get moments like this very often at all, so I will be relishing it for a little while.

As a born and raised Georgia cracker, I would like to say that I called this 4 years ago. While watching Obama's speech at the Democratic National Convention, I turned to my Georgia State House Republican Congressman cousin and announced to him that he was watching the next Presidential nominee for the Democratic party. He, as many others in my family scoffed at me.
To all of you that thought I was crazy, kiss my glowing whtie ass.
See you in November.
