The time is now: What America Should Be, Not What Was

As an African American women I was truly proud of Mrs. Obama. She is product of what all of us aspire for as the American dream; for our childern to have opportunities to achieve in areas of education, and career that may have been closed before. We are the same age and it was an inspiration to me and my daughters. I know the obstacle of having to work twice as hard to get the same respect. So it's hard for me to understand how Senator Clinton supporters cannot see the enormity of this time. African Americans are talking amongst themselves and seeing what is going on and believe me that we are simmering behind closed doors. If Obamas supporters did one tenth of what is going on now we would be attacked left and right. There is a big risk they are taking in that they assume that African Americans are going to sit back and allow this to happen with out an answer.

I hope Senator Clinton is genuine tonight because 4 years from now, New York City will not be as welcoming a place for her as it is now.
