Bittersweet victory...

[FlyingSquirrel]

My daughter just showed me a text message from one of her friends. Said "We have a niggie president." It wiped the smile right off my face. I told her I didn't approve, of course.

1. And Obama will change those people's minds

I remember the hate and prejudice against Kennedy. And now no one thinks about a Catholic candidate.

4. I remember. I wasn't pro-Catholic, but the anti-Catholicism that swarmed around JFK was vile.

8. You're more optimistic about the human spirit than I am my friend

Some will always hate, but this country has just taken a giant step forward.

2. Talk to that friend

when the kid shows up at your house.

Talk nice. Talk hard.

[But....]

3. And keep on talking..

6. Nah, I'll have my daughter talk to her. :-)

I said I hoped she would set her straight tomorrow.

5. Shows we still have work to do

A lot of work. But we can do it

7. Tell your daughter that this is not a bittersweet victory, but a happy one.
