Race. A distinction among human beings based on visual characteristics. Crazy, right? Visual differences are surface based and have little to no determining factor on the quality of the person…I’m channeling Dr. Martin Luther King right now, so bare with me. It’s 2008 and a black man in America has a fighting chance at winning the office of President of the United States…something I never thought I’d see in my lifetime, and I am LOVING it. This race for president is forcing each of us, black AND white, to re-examine our definitions, boundaries, and stereotypes in regard to race…and don’t you think that it’s about time? But, this re-examination also challenges our beliefs and what we know to be truth and people don’t seem to always do well with that thing called change. Case in point…the National Black Republican Association seem hell bent to discredit Senator Barack Obama. Check out the LINK HERE and judge for yourself. Either way, be aware that right now is a spectacular time in history…what part will you play? Enjoy.
