change.. the good and bad..
Last night was obviously a great moment in our history for race relations. Forty years ago, George Wallace, a white racist won 5 states in a presidential election. Forty years later.. A black man will be our president. No minority in this country has faced more hatred than black people. So, this is, in one aspect, a great moment in American History. America has blown the concept of race “holding people back” out of the water. America is the greatest nation in the world. I have no idea what it is like to be a minority or be kept out of normal everyday activities because of my race, so I completely respect the joy of minorities in our country and around the world.
On the other hand, race will not clear this man of his horrible beliefs on abortion, homosexuality, socialism, and many other issues. I pledge to you President-Elect Obama that I will pray for you, support you, and with my last breath oppose all of your ungodly beliefs. I am a Christian first.. I will fear GOD not man.. May God bless you and keep you, but grip your heart with the fear of the LORD and the conviction of the Holy Spirit. May you see and America see that all minorities deserve to be protected, especially when their voice can not be heard.

Amen to that! VERY well put!!! I agree with you 100%, I appreciate how you recognized the aspect of a great victory for a minority race. And the fact the same man from which this victory comes defeats another minority which cannot be heard! I hope this message gets spread around to many many people and someone forwards it to Pres. Elect Obama himself!
