Why We Love...Our President!

Unless you are a black...African-American male....you could not...and will not ...ever know that feeling.

Most of us ...are so different from the black youths of today...them...with the sagging britches ...underwear showing..."hoodie" wearing.

But there is not a black man alive who has not gone through what President Obama said happened to even him.

Being black means we get special attention.   Walk down the street...White folks move to the other side.

Go shopping in a mall...without wearing a business suit.  See what happens.  "Can we help you?"  A clerk will ask.   What they are really saying is,  "We're watching you....so you don't steal from us."

I have seen it...I have lived it.   And so happy to have a President...that understands it.
