The man you see poised is the man whose family is all of humanity. On this he is clear. His birth family is Afrikan, European, American, Asian, Muslim, Christian, Buddist, so much more and he knows this. For such a time as this he was born and raised as the son of the world, and a brother to all. While some of us remember why we must vote based on specific history of pain, anguish, brutality, and hatred.  The one who stands poised to lead knows his history in his heart.  He does not carry this in his genetic memory banks. He was raised and loved by people who looked like people who ate pic-nic lunches at lynchings. He bears no malice of intent towards them--just an inner knowing that false evidence appearing real could have pushed them into such lies of separation. He looks like those who came in chains and were barred from front door entrances. Yet his DNA carries no memories of such things. His biological father was from a part of Afrika that would not have had family members on slave ships headed for America.  Nothing in his DNA rings with the vibrations of American separatist fear, anger, or hurt.  His soul knows sacred sounds of the temple, the maasjid, and the church.  He has no arguments with race, doctrine, or creed.  He respects women.  Women have out-numbered men in his inner circle of life: A mother making it as a single head of household, a transracial sister, and independently successful wife, and two daughters.  He is a rare free man in America, raised for this very moment.  This is an opening to a new era bigger than he is.  He was simply raised up to hold the banner for a work that is being done by the Ancestors and Avatars of every nation.  Attributed to Barack Obama The Next President of the United States of America.
