history

so i just watched obama's speech and it was very good. i didn't get the tingling feeling that i got from watching mlk jr. or kennedy's, but maybe it is just one of those things that it won't sink in for awhile. i really appreciated him covering all people...faith, no faith, skin color, etc.
I am so pumped for today, i cannot believe that my first election was this election, it was a great start to adulthood.
i did however have a little bit of a head jerk when the prayer was being said, i don't know who said it, but he said this, "whites will learn what is right," something of that effect, and it just kinda bothered me.
before he said anything about whites, he said a one-liner about blacks, browns, yellows and reds, and they were all about having justice and being equal and then the guy said that about whites...and i didn't really appreciate it. i can't help being white, just like a black-american can't help being black.
i will be watching the innaguration recaps all day, so i will be able to hear speechs multiple times, which will help me learn.
it was a great hour of history, i just need to chew on it for a little bit and then i will finally know the true importance of today.
