Still Don't Get It!!!

I woke up Wednesday Morning with joy in my heart and I thought nothing could ruin my day, but I was in for a big surprise.  Everything that could go wrong went wrong.  Our local newspaper did not post anything on Wednesday about our  New President Elect, our public schools would not allow the children to talk politics in class, and they were so excited, they dreams was quickly turned into Oh Well, many nasty emails, such as:  I just realized everything is gonna be ok.  Have you ever heard of a nigger keeping a job for 4 years?  "WHY STRESS!!!" another one; George Washington is on the one dollar bill.  Lincoln is on the five dollar bill.  I hear obama is going to be on the food stamps.  "WHY STRESS".  Our young people deserve this moment, I deserve this moment.  Now some are afraid to talk about it, because they may lose their jobs.  When will we get a fair shake.  So many of our parents had to drink tears for water, but one day, all will look at people as just that and although our skin tone maybe be darker, all our blood is the same color.  It's only the outward appearance that came in many colors, shapes and sizes.  I still don't get it.  What have we done that causes us to continue to pay a price just to be free.  I look at Obama and I know that more is required of him than any of the other Presidents.  We are not asking him to turn water into wine, just do a great job for all of us.
