Tuesday Night Election Night

I have been trying to think of what to say about how I felt about Tuesday Night Election Night. But all the words sound inadaquate to me. There are no words to explain exactly how I feel about this special, historic night in my life and this countrys history. Suffice to say that I am beyond ecstatic, beyond joyful, beyond prideful. The only thing I want to say is that I am truly proud to have witnessed this glorius event in my lifetime.

PEACE.LOVE.HAPPINESS

WHY I'M WORRIED ABOUT TUESDAY NIGHT

I am both excited and apprehensive about this coming Tuesday. Excited because a man of color may be elected President. Apprehensive because I know how white folks can be. Just look at 2000. But I'm going to remain cautiously optimistic and trust that there are enough young and unbiased white folks and ALL black folks will vote for Barack Obama.
I know that there are a lot of white folks that will not vote for him no matter what, even if their life depended on it. I also know that there are a few black folks that will not vote for him either. These are the people that I would really like to meet and ask WHY. I already know where those white folks stand but these black folks I do not have a clue as to where their mind is at.
But alas it's in the hands of the Good Lord or fate or Karma, whatever you wish to believe in. But I will be watching Tuesday with bated breath, wringing hands and cold sweats.

PEACE.LOVE.HAPPINESS
