I am so proud of America today.

I know a lot of people think they get it. They think they understand how incredible this day has been. That a black man in America could be elected President of the United States.

Well, most of them don't. Most of them didn't live through it. They weren't there. They never experienced a time when blacks were lucky to even get to vote. When riding on a bus with whites was considered controversial.

They never knew the America that forced a black man to carry a sign that read "I am a man."

Today, that America was swept aside.

I am so proud of America today.
