They put an A.P.B. on her announcing if anyone who works with her, goes to the boat with her, the shrimp house, etc. to call them so they can ask where the hell she come from, lol! I love John Legend's song, I start crying everytime I hear it because it is bone chilling inspiring! I was moved by Michelle's and "Uncle Teddy" speeches. Hilary's gave me chuckles with her jabs at Republicans. I missed most of Bill's speech because I messed up on the time he was coming on and got so mad about missing that, I ended up missing Biden's acceptance speech...but caught Barack Obama standing onstage with that mega watt grin - I LOVE IT! You can best believe I will be in front of the television tonight to hear Barack and have plenty of tissue besides me. When he spoke in 2004 at the convention I was in stunned awe and when I snapped out of it, I screamed, WHO THE HELL IS HE??! HE'S FANTASTIC!!! I know who he is now and can't wait to hear his words on the 45th anniversary of Rev. Martin Luther King Jr.'s I Have a Dream speech.

I am so proud to be an American, and it's been a while since I have declared it! We may have not yet overcome, but I'd say we're standing on the mountain top.

I wish you had posted this last night right after girlfriend had her say and right before I rolled my eyes and had to back away from the tv. Maybe I wouldn't have rolled and backed so hard. ;) You have spoken the truth, Yas!

So true, Sister Yas, we are not monolithic and to each his or her own, and we will surely have some 'crushing' moments through this, but I think crushing is sometimes a good thing, after all wine was made from crushed grapes...I know...

It doesn't mean that racism is dead, and that we can all sit around the campfire singing "We Have Overcome." We haven't - not yet, but we're further along than August 1963 - believe me.
