And I was talking to Papa G about it last night and he said to me, "I'm glad you can't understand what I'm feeling right now. That was the POINT of everything we worked for, so you wouldn't HAVE to understand." <BR/><BR/>There is no way to say thank you, I think, other than to move forward and strive on, never forgetting the things we can't understand or the people who made it all possible.Ghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00900726730265994177noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6803135128442396638.post-82955122173771395002009-01-21T11:27:00.000-06:002009-01-21T11:27:00.000-06:00Good point MacDaddy.

I was watching NBATV last night and they had an interview with John Thompson that touched on how ingrained that pain and disillusionment is in older people.Big Manhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02510881583909431416noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6803135128442396638.post-91626687745321895622009-01-21T11:24:00.000-06:002009-01-21T11:24:00.000-06:00Yes, it's a new day.

Same with writers.<BR/><BR/>Big Man, writers, including me, are having a hard time describing what this means to older black people who denied the vote, who went through the daily abuse of their humanity, the daily indignities, to witness inauguration of one of their own as the president of the land. It's too overwhelming.<BR/><BR/>I think that, unless we revisit not only the economic profit but the hurt and pain it infused within the souls of some of its citizens, we'll never fully understand what this means to some black Americans.Mac Daddy Tribute Bloghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01483912561779369669noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6803135128442396638.post-1660739497307978212009-01-20T22:11:00.000-06:002009-01-20T22:11:00.000-06:00I'm with Lolo...exhausted and exhilarated.
