How to initiate positive progress

OK, now it’s our turn, how do we continue this progress? Don’t worry, we can start small. Start by smiling at someone say good morning, good evening, good afternoon. Make sure we teach our boys to be men, and our girls to be ladies. Tell the youth that being angry never solved anything long term. Getting out and meeting our neighbors (not just the ones closest to you). Bring back the village, we work better together. There are very few if any community centers in our areas anymore. Let’s get together in the present to protect our future, our kids should not have to deal with any unnecessary struggles, and if some should come up, lets prepare them by teaching them how to deal with it. Prejudices come in many shapes and forms though most of us are guilty of slight prejudices against our own people. Let’s try to bridge the gap, one day and one person at a time.

Happy Obama day everyone. We may never see this again in our lifetime !!!!!

I am just checking in to express how I'm feeling. Two Words EXTREMELY PROUD!!!. We can be a nation of one. I wont be naive and think that this will mend all racial lines, but its a start, the air feels clean, people seem less angry. I hope this feeling resonates through all of our people for the next 4 - 8 years and continue on forever. This is the world i want my children to grow up in.
