color blind
January 19th, 2009
growing up, i was taught that all people are equal. that we are all children of God and connected through a much higher love than we can ever begin to understand. divisions of race, religion, and social status did not make sense to me as a child, nor do they now.
the focus on our election of the “first Black President” takes away from who the man truly is and places the focus merely on the color of his complexion. i celebrate that we have, at last, come to a place in our country where anyone, regardless of race or gender, can aspire to the highest office. now, if we can just become blind to the differences and open to embrace the simple fact that we are, yes indeed, all one.
