Amen JJ jaan, You're being

Amen JJ jaan,

You're being very honest my friend.  Something many people may think yet not say.  I certainly have a new spring in my step.  I think he's done a hell of a lot for us beige people too.

The Window Through Which We Look

The Window Through Which We Look

A young couple moves into a new neighborhood.
The next morning while they are eating breakfast,

Her husband looked on, but remained silent.

Every time her neighbor would hang her wash to dry,

About one month later, the woman was surprised to see a
nice clean wash on the line and said to her husband:

"Look, she has
learned how to wash correctly.
I wonder who taught her this."

The husband said, "I got up early this morning and
cleaned our windows."

And so it is with life. What we see when watching others
depends on the purity of the window through which we look.

They look at me differently too ...

Hey, I am just another sand-nigger, like most of the Persian black-heads, but feel that the whitiees are looking at me a bit differently lately!

Watch this, it's sad yet funny

Dave chappelle as blind KKK member....LOL

Even more good things are coming

"Feeling Good” in contiguous (or at least I hope so). I think soon President Obama is going to put all of us to work (the party time is over). He is going to ask all of us to do our part and take our responsibilities more seriously – from doing community work, being accountable for your kid’s performance at school, help the environment, conserve energy, and on and on …. So, I am getting myself ready to come up with things I can do more since doing my everyday routine and simply being a good person (if that) will no longer cut it  - //www.change.gov/yourvision

Great observation

Its a two way road , both have opened up more internally..

America made an irreversible leap of conscious that night and that is what brought tears to teh eyes of Jessie Jackson. Just for that Obama's presidency was worth it even if it ever ends up being more of the same 

JJ...

you might think its you but also remember an event can change a people. The african-americans too are feeling a little bit secure and confident about their place in a society that have taken them so many centuries to feel part of. You are feeling this positive, confident vibe.

Amen brother, there's hope in the air

What you say rings so true. I came here in my teens too. I never looked at black students in my college any differently. Many years have passed since those days. I've had many black friends and associates in my life. But as we live here and as we get bombarded by negativity our attitude changes towards black people. 

There are some black people where I work. They are all professionals in high tech industry. I did notice a change in my attitude towards them during the primary elections. No need to indicate that I was an Obama supporter all along. But after Obama won the elections this change in my attitude has increased many folds. I look at the same black people and I see them happier, more open and friendlier. They make eye contact with you and you make eye contact with them. It's a new beginnig for black people and the rest of us, the brown people. There's hope in the air, amen brother.  

here's another angle

I heard an interview with a few black professionals on the radio who said that they also feel different, they have a more positive outlook of the country as a whole and of the white folks who proved they are not as racist as feared previously.

Maybe what you're feeling is also a reflection of their attitude.

Hope the change comes for a lot of people who never admit that they are closet racists.I know you through the site,but I feel you were never a racist,maybe inside you had some reservations,like many of us.Very brave of you to share with us your feelings as always.
