A historic event is about to happen in the USA

In a few short days, an African American man will move from his private residence into a much larger and infinitely more expensive one owned not by him but by the taxpayers. A vast lawn, a perimeter fence and many well trained security specialists will insulate him from the rest of us but the mere fact that this man will be residing in this house should make you all stop and count your blessings - because it proves that you live in a nation where anything is possible.

Many believed this day would never come. Most of you hoped and prayed that it would, but few of you actually believed you would live to see it. Racism is an ugly thing in all of it's forms and there is little doubt that if this man had moved into this house fifteen years ago, there would have been a great outcry - possibly even rioting in the streets.

Today, you can all be both grateful and proud that no such mayhem will take place when this man takes up residency in this house.

This man, moving into this house at this time in your nation's history is much more than a simple change of addresses for him - it is proof of a change in your attitude as a nation. It is an amends of sorts - the righting of a great wrong. It is a symbol of your growth, and of your willingness to "judge a man, not by the color of his skin but by the content of his character".


You should all be proud of your country!

It is about damn time! I remember watching the trial back in the mid 90s and feeling let down by our legal system.

He will hopefully never see outside of a prison again.
