7. I just saw an elderly White woman crying tears of joy. It's a victory for all of us not stuck in
the past filled with bigotry and division.

16. The pride and spirit of African Americans has to be celebrated ---
Edited on Tue Nov-04-08 11:45 PM by defendandprotect
And... ilke all other battles/victories for freedom, we are all freer now --

Thank you to these people who delivered themselves to freedom with non-violence

after hundreds of years of violent and senseless oppression.

Their intelligence, courage and spirit is what our nation desperately needs.

Be prepared yet for great battles vs Obama -- these people will not give up easily --

And there will probably be little respite before they begin ---

Cheers to Obama --!!!!
