Some of us "claim" to be Obama supporters. The issue with the pastor has some of us uncomfortable. And I for one, am glad. This needs to be discussed. There is a generational gap at play that people don't understand.

Do you realize that it was just 50 years and for some communities 40 years ago that people of color were able to hope to be somebody, someday? Most of you have no idea as to what our parents and grandparents endured. Wright was apart of that. Having dogs sicked on you, afraid that you or your children might be hung or worse hunting down like an animal, seperate water fountains, seperate bathrooms, walking on opposite sides of the streets, going to different schools all because you were a different color.

We (Americans) are the fruit of that battle. Today more and more people see that as the past but for those that still remember or have wounds (physical and mental), its harder to deal with.

Barack is a part of the new movement. That we are all Americans, one America.

I am sure some of us have people they know who have done or said things that we didn't agree with but you remain friends or family because that's not who you are. They don't define you in any way. That is what makes us individuals, independent thinkers.

We will be witnessing history today. And no matter what is said, some people will not agree. And that's fine. This is America. We can't please everybody all the time. But those of us who truly believe that change is coming, I am extremely grateful that he has put it upon himself to carry the load.

So today, Mr. Obama, I pray that the Lord will continue to wrap you in the arms of his love. May he give you strength, mercy and peace today and forward. This I ask in God's name, Amen.
