I couple years ago the theme song for the mixed action cartoon movie with Michael Jordan was Space Jam was I believe I can fly. African American kids all across the country sang that song with visions of becoming a basketball star in their heads.
Today on this morning in America That takes on new meaning. Ms parks sat so Martin could walk, Martin walked so Obama could run, Obama ran and won now my sons can fly.
My oldest son who many say looks like Obama and has a biracial and a immigrant parent in common insisted he stay up to see the results to their conclusion and Obama acknowledge the win. He thought nothing of saying after a basketball career at Princeton I’ll go on to the presidency. It was all within the realm of possibility and for the first time i could say without hesitation yes son you can.
His flight is no longer restricted to sports on this morning in America. A black man who has normally been relegated to the bottom of the social totem pole in America has risen to the highest office in the land.
It is morning iAmerica and it is a good morning for my children they have the pontial to be anything that they want to be. I believe they can fly!
