Hello World! Once again I was in thought. Unfortunately I had to work July 4th, bummer right? As I was watching the sky light up with fireworks it suddenly dawned on me...July 4th isn't just another holiday where we recognize that America declared its independence some centuries ago. It has become true. What I mean is America has a black president, mixed, mulatto...whatever you want to call him. Freedom has a new meaning. We have come from fighting with England to be free, to ending Slavery, to ending Jim crow laws, to equal rights for all regardless of color...It really makes you think wow we've really fought for independence no matter what the issue was...women's' rights, equal opportunities at jobs regardless of age, sex, color, etc...in some way, form, or fashion America has fought to break a chain that led us to be free more and more. Regardless of what Obama's ethnicity is...the color on his skin is brown, which constitutes black, which ALSO is another stepping stone for us when it comes to freedom. Maybe its just me thinking this way...I am just weird like that...LOL!
