Black or not Black enough, he is the first man on Earth!!


"Finally a day will come, when people of America wont be judged by thier color of skin, but by the content of thier character".
Years ago, a guy known as Martin Luther King Jr told this to many of the people who shared one common attribute. They all were victim of prejudice.They all were the victim of the white man's quest for power,superiority and dominance. But they had one more thing in common.. that was thier will to struggle, thier desire for equality and thier faith in the justice of the lord. They were slaved and they did what was needed to protect thier family, they were lynched and they moved forward, they were prejudiced and they got themselves educated.. and educated themselves enough to finally produce a President of the United States of America.
He too shares the same pain, the same agony and thankfully , the same quality.His vision is intense,lucid and absoloutely clear and most importantly, the sense of vengeance has completely eluded him, quite contrary to the thinking of the great WHITES.
When he started of the campaign, some said "he is black", he responded by talking about generating employment , others said "he is not black enough", his talked about the families of American soldiers , those soldiers who are unnecessarily being butchered in Iraq. He also has the firm belief , that he has inherited from his ancestors , the belief in democracy, the belief in the power lying in the hands of the people, the same people for whome he has committed his life, first as a lawyer, then as a senator and now as the President.
Him being selected as the president is not only a victory for the democrats , its a victory of equality, its the victory of magnamity and most importantly its a victory of democracy. It has raised the bar, the bar which represent people's ability to judge ,adjudicate and respond to the buggers who feel him as a threat.
If at all he was a threat, if at all he was dangerous , he could have easily proved them right as a senator . Unfortunately for them its still the same.. its still a "white man's burden to civilise the world" and for him... well..Thank God he is BLACK.
In the name of equality.
