Sorry to hear about your Mom Punter..She could have taught us all a lot with all the changes she went through... Condolences.I went to segregated schools, remember whites only signs on a lot of things, colored section at the ball park.
Tomorrow I get to see a black man win the presidency and I voted for him.
Time passes fast and changes all things. My Mom Died in Sep at 95. She came from a time when the horse was the main way of personal transportation to now, she was going to vote for McCain, However.
See thats what I mean. The older generation went through that and alot of them participated in the discrimination towards blacks, and I bet a lot of them inside regret it. They see in Obama a chance to make amends with themselves for there past actions.
