The Random Adventures Of Add-2

Barack NEEDS to win

As we're on the eve of the end of this historical presidential race, I'm glad that its finally almost over cause CNN had taken over my life completely. It has taken everyone a trip which made us see how biased, ignorant, hopeful, scared, frustrated and angry ALL americans can be on issues. It brought alot of people together but still has divided us as well. For the longest I never paid attention to politics or politicians and I always found it hard to place my faith into a system that never gave a damn about what was going on with the people or the area where I lived. A system who has been known to overlook those 'without' and continue to shine its face on those who 'have'. It felt like the "American Dream" only applied to some and the others just had to fall somewhere in between the American Status Quo. My dad and all my uncles always use to tell us how the white man will never let us go too far up the ladder.  

But then came Barack Obama who I first remember hearing everybody talking about back when I was in High School in Chicago. I have watched this man go on to inspire not just minorities but an entire nation to believe that anything is possible. I've seen some of the most bitter people I've known in my life who never believed as a minority you have a chance to achieve anything greater outside of sports rethink that assertion. And actually believe that we can actually reach the stars instead of just reach for them.

I'm not voting for Obama cause he's 'black' but more so what he stands for, who he's fighting for, what he represents, who his policies are directed towards and what he means to the people. Do I think he's gonna solve the worlds problems? HELL NO. I just believe he is motivating alot of different people and thats what this country needs. Mccain hadnt even mentioned a word about the middle class til just now, never really tried to seperate himself from bush til now and when i see his crowds I never see various types of races. And his campaign consisted of basically throwing as much as they can at Obama.

Everything they've thrown at him hasn't stuck for a reason. They've labeled him a "Black" candidate when he's mixed, they accused him of not being a christian but even if he wasnt so what, is it against the law to be muslim in america? They said his pastor is racist/hates america which they tried to put on him when to be honest I've probably heard worse and if anyone has been to a Baptist church recently you probably didnt flinch when you seen Rev. Wright made those comments. They accused him of being a socialist when the US just bought up alot of the major banks during the financial crisis. They accused him of being a redistributionist when we've been doing that for the rich for years allowing the wealthy tax cuts when the middle class has been struggling. They tried to call him a radical and said he "pals" around with terrorist when the dumbest poltician Sarah Palin "pals" around with secessionist and if that aint anti-american I dont know what the hell is.

Point blank Obama is what America has always been and stood for. America isnt a country built from naturally born Americans (unless you're native American), America is a country of immigrants and NO ONE is pure blood anything. American isnt perfect, we're the home to patriots the same way we are the home to student shootings, murderers, racists, pedophiles, convicts and an array of others. But we've always stood for hope and the pursuit of happiness and the acceptance of others no matter who they are or where they come from. So on tuesday vote for whoever you want to, not cause Diddy said so in his spinning video blog or cause Jay did a free show. Vote for what matters to you.

Next week I'll be back on my Hip Hop stuff
