Keep It Moving – Barack Obama Edition

I have wrestled with the idea of writing something on the election. I knew I had to say something about it but I don’t like to re-hash what’s already been said a milli times on other blogs. I think that’s why people come to my spot so they can get my thoughts on things and not a post of what someone else thinks. so I decided to put it my way. I am extremely excited to see ‘that one’ win the election, but we can’t stop there. I feel that this is a stepping stone to a better black america. We can’t rely on him to fix everything alone. The same way we all came together to get the word out and vote for him, we need to get together and make a difference in our individual communities. don’t get complacent and think that since we have a black president than we’re all good. He’s not just the president of black america, he’s the president of ALL america! Remember that. I want to start an initiative to mentor the youth and let them know that there’s more to life than what they can even imagine. Each one teach one type of thing.
I just feel like celebration is cool but we have got to get back on the grind and start making things happen. Obama has helped to break the some of the stereotypes surrounding black people (especially men) but it’s up to me and you to go even further and smash even more stereotypes. We’ve come a long way and there’s no turning back. Gotta keep moving forward!!

Rosa sat so Martin could walk. Martin walked so Barack could run. Barack ran so we could fly.

Peace,
