I think it would be nice....

Wouldn't it be nice to have a Black first lady and two young, intelligent, well-behaved Black girls in the White House?

Wouldn't it be nice to see those young girls grow up to be decent young ladies?

Think about it, how many other candidates (in either party) have school aged children?

Wouldn't it be nice to see some inner city kids playing on the White Houselawn during the Easter Egg Roll?

Wouldn't it be nice to see a high ranking Black person finally at the table, but not just at the table -at the HEAD of the table?

Wouldn't it be nice to see a Black family bring multicultural traditionsto the White House?Wouldn't it be nice to see a Black woman on HGTV or any other show giving a tour of the White House during the holidays - showing the decorations on the Christmas trees and explaining the meaning behind her holiday theme?

Wouldn't it be nice to see more Black people being entertained in the Rose Garden?

Wouldn't it be nice to see a photo of young Black children in the Oval Office for Take Your Child to Work Day?

Wouldn't it be nice and ironic to have a Black person create and own a Presidential library, especially when most people like to say that Black people don't read?

Wouldn't you be curious to go to DC for a change and actually considertaking a White House tour?

Wouldn't it be nice to see more Black people all across the country do the same?

Wouldn't you be proud to hear them play Here Comes The Chief for a Black person for a change?Wouldn't it be nice to see the Armed Forces salute a Black Commander-in-Chief?

Wouldn't it be nice to see someone who looks like us taking the oath of office on the White House steps, giving a State of the Union Address, giving weekly radio addresses, and signing things into law with the Presidential pen?

Maybe it's just me that I've never dreamt for anything this big but isn't it nice to know that someone else has?

Wouldn't it feel good to make that Dream come true?

What if it were you or your family, wouldn't it be nice to know that someone would vote for you if they had the Opportunity ?

Some people ask the question why - I'm saying why not?

The world is looking at us, wondering if what we will do when we're presented an opportunity of a lifetime. They will be wondering whether we are really ready for our situation to change, even a little bit? Regardless if you are a democrat or republican, just something to think about as a black person....Everyone,I realize that some folks are supporting Hillary Clinton and if you areyou need to read this. Barack Obama inspired me to pass this on to you. To me he is a strong black man who, in the face of setbacks growing up, pushed on with the support of a strong black woman who is 100% behind him. Together they are making history. This is the America I want to live in. This is what our families should be like!, and can be like.

This is also circulating and you may find it of interest. I am not the author. Many black folks in America talk hesitantly about voting for Barack Obama in the primaries and caucuses. But here are a few things to consider: Sports among other things, is a microcosm of the mentality of society. Recently, the NFL has mandated teams to interview at least one qualified Minority candidate for each opening. Every NFL owner signed off on it. 'Qualified' head coaches are plucked from the ranks of offensive and defensive coordinators. Look around, no one is promoting black offensive or defensive coordinators...in pros or college. In effect it nullifies the opportunity altogether. When Kareem dominated the game, the college basketball leaders outlawed dunking. Yes, it's true. As Tiger Woods blazed the trail, the golf governors sought to 'Tiger-proof' golf courses. Obama's big break came during his Democratic National Convention speech. Rest assured, he will be the last black person to get that kind ofnational stage if it follows the same pattern as sports.

Not my child, not my grandchild, not yours either. Many of us say America isn't ready to vote him in yet. I wonder, is he the best guy for the job or am I interested in him onlybecause he's black? His opponent being a woman is suddenly enough, so is being black any less dignifying? Maybe, maybe not. However, 20-30 years from now, we'll have to tell our grandkids why we voted the way we did. How will we justify it then when sports have taught us that the field will be changed almost immediately as soon as a black person rises to the pinnacle? So if not now, it's not a question of when. The answer may be NEVER.

Twenty or thirty years from now some of us will answer to Emmitt Till,Medgar Evers, Martin, Malcolm and GOD himself in heaven as to why we passed up this opportunity. GOD will remind us that HE gave us the story of Joshua and Caleb and the lack of self-determination and self-worth that lead to 40 years of wilderness when the promised land was a hill away. GOD may ask us: Didn't your great grandfathers die for this chance? Didn't your grandparents pray for this chance? Didn't you hope and dream of this chance? I heard your prayers, sorrows, and cries. Didn't I give you the chance? Why after 400 years of bondage, would you Reason with yourself to pass it up? Did you not understand it was less about you and more about ME? He may say, 'I gave you the chance but you wanted complete certainty, a guarantee that it was okay now. Check it out. I never work that way.'
