Obama Election - White People Celebrating a Black President of United States

By: Diane Lennox | 2010-04-04 | Politics
It is not just for the people of African descent to celebrate the election yesterday of Barack Obama. I am a 53 year old Canadian woman whose skin is white, hair blonde & eyes light green. In 1963, when Martin Luther King was giving his 'I Have a Dream" speech, I was only 8 years old but I can still remember how intensely I felt upon hearing his words of hope. I had been watching the Civil Rights Movement in the US play itself out on TV for a few years, at that point, and had been repeatedly traumatized by the images of black Americans being beaten, cursed and even murdered by guns, clubs and the hanging rope. Even as a child I could clearly see how horribly horribly wrong this was and it shook me to sobbing inconsolable tears to witness the brutalityevery time. The deep shame of watching people who looked like me and my white family acting so hatefully against an innocent race of human beings would change me for life. Last night, when I watched the American people elect Barack Obama for president, I wept with joy, hope and pride at seeing my neighbors evolve into people capable of greatness. read more
