A statement of uncompromising truth

I read the statement from Michele Obama who, from the heart, stated; " for the first time in my adult life, I am proud of my country; because it feels like hope is finally making a comeback." From her history and mine, I understand that statement to be one of truth and clarity. In my opinion, the reason it was so full of truth is, when you look back into our history; what part exactly should we began to be proud of? Would it be the existence of slavery? Maybe, being treated less than animals?, or Was it the part where our families were ripped apart and sold as livestock? Or possibly, the knowledge of having no rights to voice an opinion, or a disagreement? NO FREEDOM! Maybe that is what we shall look back to find pride in. Versus now, a Black man running for President, better yet; her man running for President. She is now able to voice her opinion with pride? We have the pleasure of watching history unfold before our eyes. This black man has the esteemed privilege to become the Commander In Chief of the United States of America. Now that is something to be proud of.
