Folks,
Never in my 5 decades on this earth did I ever think I would see an African American become a viable nominee of a major political party. When I was young in North Carolina, black people would step off the sidewalk when my grandmother and I would walk to and from the market. Even in my child's perception, I knew this was wrong. I knew that the atmosphere of unfairness was an acrid stench in the air and that the air had to be cleared. Finally, after a slow and troubled evolution of paradigms, Americans are ready to accept an individual strictly evaluated by the content of his character and the value of his ideas. I just hope and pray that he is as good as his lofty rhetoric. I have read his book. If he is what he appears to be, we may have found a true leader indeed. However, it is too soon to tell. Of course, by comparison to our present president, anyone looks great. We have survived the most dangerously inane leader in human history. Although, our poor country has suffered so. Six more months to freedom from fascism. It can not come soon enough!
