Reflections...
Forty years ago, Martin Luther King Jr. was shot for trying to bring about racial equality in America. Today, a black man won the election for President of the United States of America. Racism is not dead, but it's on life support, and we've the the plug in our grasp.
Now, I said I wouldn't believe VA went to a Democrat until I saw it, and for most of the night, I didn't think it would happen, but surprisingly enough, not only did the Commonwealth go for the Democrat, it voted for the black man.
I'm both shocked and impressed. I expected it wouldn't happen. I grew up here, and in some ways, VA is still very stuck in the Old South.
