Hope the racist crazies did not keep you away from the forum. Last night in the midst of history in the making and again tonight, while the excitement builds as the moment of the presidential nominee acceptance speech draws near, I find myself thinking of you and remembering the anger and pain you were expressing last week about this time in response to those reprehensible Buchanan posts. I want to share a few thoughts with you.
I am watching the coverage on CSPAN, minus all the reporter's and network's hidden agendas, spin, drama, bias and play-by-play punditry. This kind of coverage helps the viewer feel that they have a front-row seat with wings that transports them all around and above the scene, giving them the bird's eye view of all the best this joyous, beautiful, uplifting, spiritual event has to offer as it plays itself out. It is being shared by men, women and children from all walks of life, all classes, varieties of gender, creeds, colors and cultures, one big beautiful mass of humanity, all gathered to witness and celebrate this one single moment, unparalleled in the history of our country, as we watch Barack Obama accept his party's nomination for the highest and most honorable office in the land and be acknowledged worthy to lead our nation.
For all those who played a part, no matter how small, this is their time to stand up and be proud to have participated, on any and all levels, in the struggle that brought us to this place in time. It is by the Grace of God we come to know that His blessings are now bestowed upon us. It is my heartfelt wish that you can take the comfort I take in believing the in the notion that when one is on the "right side of history," as Mr. Clinton so eloquently stated, good things can happen and all things are possible. Take care of yourself. |
