The next time you hear the line about poor, oppressed minorities being kept down by racist, hateful Amerikkka, finally being set free by The One, you might want to check this very personal article of his: Even Before Obama, I Already Knew That I Could.

If anyone knows, he does.

Men like him make me proud of what was once our nation.
