Why Vote for Obama. (487 hits)

Because He's Black This older white guy asked his older black friend, 'Areyou voting for Barack Obama just because he's black'? So the olderblackguy fires back and says, 'Are you not voting for him because he'sblack? Why can't I vote for him just cause he's black? In this country men are pulled over everyday just cause their black, passed over for promotions just cause their black, considered to be criminals just cause their black, but you don't seem to have a problem with that . This country was built with the sweat and whip off the slaves back, and now a descendent of those same slaves has a chance to lead the same country where we wasn't even considered to be people, Where we weren't allowed to be educated, drink from the same water fountains, eat in the same restaurants, or even vote, soyou're right I'm going to vote for him! Not just because he's black, But because he is hope, he is change, and he now allows me to understand when my grandson/granddaughter says he/she wants to be president when he/she grows up, it is not a fairy tale but a short term goal, Because he/she sees, understand, and knows, he can achieve, withstand, and do anything just because he's black!
