Amazing

I'm Watching the Presidential procession
I never thought i would ever see this.

Born before WW11 African American,
An eye witness to history past and now this.

The feeling is unexplainable.

Just amazing........

Actually, we did. They're staying at our hotel. Liz asked them if we may take their pictures, and they were very gracious and kind. We got a couple pics.

Juan was more fortunate that I for sure.

The Airmen were delpoyed during the presidential administration of Dr. Frederick Douglas Patterson (1935-1953) During that time i didn't have a clue about them or much of anything of historical value. I guess that's because unless you know history is being made one can be oblivious. I'm still learning some amazing historical facts.

Matter of fact the Airmen are passing right now.

This is amazing - those airmen being there is incredible. So many African American stories serving as the basis for what has made us great. This is such a great day.

Hmmm, I guess I am one of the minority who is not a racist. I couldn't care less what race he is.

The point is that America elected an qualified new president that happened to be black. The fact that it happen is great and proves to the world that the nation is not racist.

That does NOT prove the nation is not racist. I thought many people had said that a lot of those that weren't voting for Obama were racists --- if that's true, that's a lot of racists...

And Obama is only partially black --- he's as white as he is black. Why do people want to insist he's black? It's like all of those people that say that Tiger Woods is black.
