I Still Have A Dream

Martin Luther King, Jr. once spoke of his dream. A dream in which a person is not judged by the color of his/her skin, but rather the content of his/her character.

Last night, America reneged on that dream.

Many of you failed to look past the color of Obama's skin, choosing to see the black man that he is instead of the person that he claims to be. You failed to look past the color of his skin, and thus failed to see the true content of his character.

You elected a black man as President of the United States instead of simply electing a person.

You failed to elect a person who has the experience to lead this country and a record which proves that person's ability to work with and unite the parties.

You instead elected Obama because he is black.

You, therefore, failed to judge Obama purely by the content of his character.

Is this the kind of hope and change you want for our country? A place where a person is still judged by the color of his/her skin?

This isn't a historic election. It's a sad time in history knowing that we have yet to witness a person of whichever race judged by the content of their character and not by the color of their skin.

Still waiting...
