Bratgirl World

My son was born on January 20th, 1992. He was born on Martin Luther King's birthday. I had no choice but think to myself what a wonderful day to be born.
A member of my now exhusband's family said in displeasure, "...so he was born on niggers day"? I was laying there in the hospital room soar from giving life and to hear such filth nearly killed my soul!
I was reading late into the evening last night all about the election results and read something wonderful! Barack Obama will be sworn in as President of the United States on MY SONS BIRTHDAY, January 20th, 2009. A black man.
I had asked my son last night as we ate our hamburgers from Carl's Jr.'s, who would you vote for if you were old enough? He said Obama, MAMA!! I had to laugh at my son for his humor. I had tears on the inside were my soul resides, tears of pride in my son, for he was born on a good day!

      How shocked George Wallce would be to learn of last night's election results.  The new age of unity of us all as Americans.  He never thought blacks or minorities in general should ever reach as high as they could.  As far as Wallace was concerned 'they' should know their place. 
     Today is a time of change, this is the first day, November 5th 2008.  As we all as Americans wake this morning to a new day of history.  Peggy Wallace Kennedy, daughter of George Wallace once Governor of Alabama, wrote of a night of vandelism to her father's and mother's gravesites.  Read more by clicking on the title of this post...

After a few moments, the woman leaned into me and spoke almost in a conspiratorial whisper. "I never thought I would live to see the day when a black would be running for president. I know your daddy must be rolling over in his grave."
