*Change is Coming.....*

Tonight CNN is doing a special on "Black in America". This stikes me as very profound and moving because it's about time. Next they're doing a segment on "The Black Man in America", and recently the debate over the "N" word has been widely speculated and debated. And all i can say is that it's about time. It's about time that this nation have a conscious and acknowledge and recognize the Black community, and stop trying to hide behind, "Corrective policies", which keep the masks on so many 's faces, for they feel like things are so good; everything and every problem has been solved. The first step to solving a problem is to admit that there is one. And it's not the Blacks are a problem, or they are doing SO bad, it's SUCH a travesty, So sad, no, the problem here is that for years, the playing field has never been equal or fair. Blacks are always at a disadvantage, and lack opportunities, and get trapped within a system whose sole aim in to maintain the status quo--for lack of better words-- whites still in power and at the top, running the counrty, everyone else gets their equal rights,(cough cough) but lets not over do things. I think it's wonderful that these issues are being uncovered and exposed, so if change doesn't occur from this point on, it wont be because WE as a people didn't know about it. And I think that Barack Obama is such an important man in this moment in time, because i feel that his presence, coming on the scene, challenging how things "have always been done", is single handedly causing this country to re-examine what and who he represents. And hopefully, HOPEfully, CHANGE is coming........


*Change we can believe in......



....comes from within....
