WHY I VOTED FOR MY BLACK PRESIDENT.....THANKS EC...

A white man asked his black friend, 'Are you voting for Barack Obama


just because he's black?' The black man responded by saying, 'Why not?
In this country men are pulled over everyday just cause they're black;

passed over for promotions just cause they're black; considered to be

criminals just cause they're black; and there are going to be thousands

of you who won't be voting for him just because he's black!

However, you do not seem to have a problem with that! This country was

built with the sweat and whip off the black slaves' back, and now a

descendent of those same slaves has a chance to lead the same country,

where we weren'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. So yes! I'm going to vote for him! But it's

not just because he's black, but because he is hope, he is change, and

he now allows me to understand when my grandson says that he wants to be

president when he grows up, it is not a fairy tale but a short term

goal. He now sees, understands and knows that he can achieve, withstand

and do Anything just because he's black!'
