The story below inspired this post to Facebook. Check it out.
The idea Jon that it really feels like now that the entire American dream, all of it, is now really possible, not just for black women. I think they've been seen as members of the American Dream Society (the people for whom the American Dream is fully possible) for a long time now. But now Black men are included as well. I think regardless of the re-election of Barack Obama, the fact that he's had a respectable Presidency has opened lots of possibilities for us as Black men. I look at this article, not just as an article about three incredible African American boys, but also about the wider societies recognition of the talent of these boys, tacitly acknowledging the talent of Black men. And I think that, the opening of all the avenues of success to us, is something to be presciently proud and happy about.
