Whose sweat and blood are you standing on? It's someones. All of us who are fortunate enough to be here have been able to acheive certain things because we are coming in on the heels of someone else. I am an African American Woman, not only am I standing on the blood, but in the blood and sweat of my forebears, as a woman I am able to vote today because I stand in the sweat and toil of the women who came before me who wanted the right to vote. Did I march on Washington? No I was too young, I was only a small child. But if you can't see how this monumental moment is not just for African Americans, but for all of us...us like Barack said...if you were listening, we are not AFrican Americans, Latino Americans, White Americans, we are Americans. Your history is my history, you struggles are my struggles. We will et there together...or sad to say we won't get there at all. Johnathan can I ask you a question?

You don't. And you don't have to do so in order to help lead us out of racism. Anyway, racists don't care about where you came from, just how brown or black you are. Obama has always recognized the suffering and incredible courage of Black America throughout history. And he himself has done plenty for civil rights. There are millions of activists who do their work in small, quiet ways-- justice isn't always about heroism and big legislation. By the way, if you are a person who can't pass as a WASPy white man in the street, you also are right now standing on the blood, sweat, and years of oppression of those who came before you.

What has Barack done for Civil Rights? Did his family come from salvery? No. Where they oppressed during the civil rights era? No. He's simply the one to have been at the right place at the right time now standing on the blood, sweat, and years of oppression of those who came before him. There is no doubt that this an incredible milestone in our country's history. It's truly unforunate that he is to be the one to reap the rewards. Conincedental? Definitely not. You stepped right into the very spin they set out in front of you. Enjoy the ride.
