I have been so busy recently I have neglected my blog. And what a time it has been too, with so many interesting things happening. Particularly the appointment in the USA of President-elect Obama.
Commenting on the Obama victory my wife reckons black could be the new black! I found myself agreeing, though I am not sure I would be able to put in words what I mean so will not attempt it here. I think black people in the west will feel a new dignity from now on.
I never thought I would see a black President in the US in my lifetime. I think it is wonderful. In my youth I watched race riots on the TV and watched Martin Luther King preach. I remember when he preached, “I have a dream..”
So I watched Obama give his triumphal speech, and I thought of the old black and white set I watched as a child with images of tear gas and beatings of black people. I wondered how he could be so carefree and careless of danger and then I saw the glass screens.
I wonder what is in store from this man.
Another great post.
Is that a typing error in the title though? Also, you need three dots in your ellipses…
“the new back” yes a typo, now corrected to “the new black” thanks. I will try and remember the three dots in future.
