My President is Black

A black man as president something that growing up I was told was impossible, it would NEVER happen. Now in 2008 the impossible became possible. This will be marked as one of the most significant moments in African American History hands down. It gives the youths and young adults of our race an option other than becoming a professional athlete, actor, actress, or rap artist, but the possibility of becoming the president of the United States. Sure President Obama is a black man and that is great for our people but his educational background, senatorial experience, political views on issues as in the economy, war, education, taxes and many others involving the United States makes him more than qualified . I hope that people will not take for granted having a black president because as a people we have to do our parts to ensure that this decision is not looked upon as one that should be in question. We cant let this become an army of one, Obama can not do it all single handedly, it will take a united effort from our people as a whole. Lets not just be satisfied that we have a black president, let us look for more doors to open and more opportunities to explore.

HOPE
