Something to ponder, "Because He's Black"

This older white guy asked his older black friend, "Are you voting for
Barack Obama just because he's black"?

So the older black guy fires back and says, "Are you not voting for him
because he's black?

Why can't I vote for him just cause he's black?

Hell in this country men are pulled over everyday just cause their
black, passed over for promotions just cause their black, considered to
be criminals just cause their black, but you don't seem to have a
problem with that

This country was built with the sweat and whip off the slaves back, and
now a descendent of those same slaves has a chance to lead the same
country where we wasn't even considered

Where we weren't allowed to be educated, drink from the same water
fountains, eat in the same restaurants, or even vote, so you damn right
I'm going to vote for him!

Not just because he's black, But because he is hope, he is change, and he now allows me to understand
when my grandson says he wants to be president when he grows up, it is not a fairy tale but a short term goal,


Because he sees, understand, and knows, he can achieve, withstand, and
do anything just because he's black!
