And its sad to see but people still live their lives doing a routine check up on other people saying "hey, he's brown, I'm going to stay away from him" when in reality the color of skin has nothing to do with my perspective on life. This has always been a problem making friends, getting a point across or simply being kind and saying hello without any bad energy being throwed at me. Earlier this year during the Obama campaign I had my eyes on Ron Paul, his ideoligy was plain for younger individuals like myself, when his campaign ended and he was out of the race I payed more attention to what Mr. Obama was saying. In the mist of the election I would talk to a lot of people all in who was in favor of him. But they'll always ask me why do you like him and quickly answer "is it because he's black" NO! Being a colored person I was sure to notice his color but instead his ideas and leadership to stand up in front of a nation and adress the people that this new America is happening and we can overcome this transition, really smack face on. If anyone else was to do this possessing traits of a great leader( Mitt Romney) my vote would be towards him. Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
