I do for you!!!!!!

Look at these faces......don't they deserve something different and better then what we had the past 8 years???!!

YES WE CAN!!!

So the plan was to wake up early in the morning and take the girls to vote, but early wasn't happening today. We got there about 11am and had to wait outside for maybe 10 minutes at the most, then another 5 minute wait on the inside. Brooklyn decided to act like a baby and wanted to be picked up so I asked Madisyn to hold my drivers license for me but I didn't even need it! I let Madisyn push the screen for Obama and Biden.
Yesterday my dad told me that he wished his dad was still alive to see this day. He said my grandfather had this saying 'like a N**G*R at an election' that his guess was to mean somebody out of place. Growing up in West Virginia was rough. My dad was the only black kid in a lot of things. His middle name is Coy and growing up the white kids use to say 'Coy Coy the N*g*er* boy' to tease him. A lot of us young folxs have not experienced a fraction of what what our parents or grandparents had to go through coming up in a nation where skin color means so damn much.
I have seen some video of interviews of some white Americans, and their view of Obama sickens me. Because it isn't just him that they feel this way about. After being around us for over 400 years, they have not come to realize that we are a human just like them, just as intelligent and capable as the next man. If Obama was a white man whould'nt they all love him? Intellegent, an excellent speaker, appears to have upstanding morals since I have yet to see a sex tape or some illegal drugs pop out of the woodwork, married to the same woman for years( a very intelligent woman I might add), two beautiful children.......and that is just if you are looking at character. The issues of this country will take more than one man to fix. I am not delusional about that, nor am I naive to who has the real power here, but isn't it time for something different? I pray that the ignorance I have seen is a small precentage of the population.
I have not allowed myself to get all pumped up about this before, but for some reason if he wins....that Yes We Can, will really resound in my day to day life. Surely if this man can beat all the odds, rise above the hate, truely make Americans believe again.......I, Shawnta can believe that I can achieve all my dreams........
Start dreaming folks, cause YES WE CAN!
