He's thirteen and not particularly aware of the experiences, issues and the history that make this election so important to so many of us.
On the other hand, he's openly gay in middle school in Texas and that makes him one of the bravest human beings I have ever encountered.

Is your son young enough so that some of the more poignant aspects of color and the journey we've taken escape him? ------------ -- Original message ------------ -- From: Bosco Bosco <[EMAIL PROTECTED] com> Count me among the puffy red eyed people. When the camera panned to Jesse Jackson I had just stopped and I got all stirred up again. I was watching with my son who finds my emotional attachment to this election pretty funny. I just couldn't hold it back. I started when MSNBC called Ohio for Sen. Obama and kept on, off and on, through the end of his speech.

I had to say at that moment, for all that Jesse has pissed me off recently, I did feel for him. Like him or not, get tired of him at times, can't deny that he's worked for Black people, that he's done a lot of good. And for that Jesse who's fought for us, who's bled for us, who's been a friend to us, i was happy. On MSNBC, John Lewis was all puffy and red eyed, as if he'd been bawling like a baby too. ------------ -- Original message ------------ -- From: "Tracey de Morsella" <tdemorsella@ multiculturaladv antage.com> Did anyone see Jesse Jackson crying right before the speech. He looked like a proud father. It was a long way from “I want to crush his ball” I loved it
