Today is Inauguration Day! I decided to make an exception and let you watch TV today. I didn't let you watch everything, but I definitely wanted you to see it. I think it was an important day. We live in a world that is filled with people who have issues on race. It's not just one race...every race has people who are prejudiced against another. I hope by the time you're my age this is no longer an issue. We hope to raise you in a home where you see that everyone is equal regardless of their race or religion.
So, back to why it was an important day for me...
I felt like there was hope in this world because enough people chose to vote for Barack Obama even though he was of mixed race. When he started campaigning I remember telling your Dad "There are way too many people in this country that are not ok with other races and I just don't know that he'll ever get enough votes to pull this off!" I was so happy to see that I was wrong. I hope this is a sign of better days to come. You should be judged on your knowledge and your ability to do a job. Not your sex, race, or religion!
Here you are enjoying your lunch and the festivities on TV :)
Yes Mom... Can I help you?
