Barack's speech exposed the elephant in the room and challenged all Americans to look at it squarely and rationally. Times have changed. People do change. Geraldine was talking from her perspective (her time). What she said is true, and perhaps that's why we need Obama.
He may be the man of destiny who was meant to be here in this time with his mixed race, his unique heritage, his intelligence and education. The fact that he did not reject his pastor speaks of his understanding of the past and his hope for the future. Young people take advantage of the progress we have made. Listen with tolerance to the bitterness of those who have had a differnt experience, but don't get mired into the hate and the extension of anger, bitterness and the need for revenge they express. Don't become the suicide bombers in America. Let hope and change live.
