Because He's Black!

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?

The older Black gentlemen asks, 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 descendant of those same slaves has a chance to lead the
same country where we weren't even considered to be people.

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!
