[at-l] Just curious

[Chuck Johnston]

While I was watching a reporter asked a black woman how she felt now that a
black man was president.  Her reply was not that he was a black man or her
president but  that he was a good man and everyone's president.  I think
that about summed it up.

I am watching.  My eyes will be leaking when we have an inauguration of a
black president and the fact that he is black is not mentioned.  Kinda like
when a football player is inducted into the hall of fame.  His color is no
longer mentioned.  It just is.  About 10 years ago I was the Keynote speaker
at The 100 Black men conference here in Jax(Google it, great org.)  I ask if
you had the power to choose, would you rather live to be 80 as a black man
or 60 as a white man.  When ya wanna live to 80 we have arrived.  When Garth
Brooks starts talking Ebonics to patronize the next prez. we aint there yet.
