Today is the Inauguration and President Obama starts his second term. I like what he is doing and I am proud of our country for electing a African-American for the second time. I hate the prejudiced people who will never grow up and face their own misplaced loyalties.
I grew up in a prejudiced town and there were role models who taught us that this kind of thinking might not be fair in the long run. I am happy that I feel this way. It does not mean that I don't have to gulp sometime as I deal with the problem of equality. But I gulp instead of running my mouth. America is a different country and white men are not the primary "big deals" anymore!
There is room around the table for everyone and I don't need a gun to keep someone inferior from invading my space at the table. Happy Inauguration to me!
