Black History Month
Black History Month
The next day I took Irina to the poetry slam. It was a big spoken word fest in honor of Black History Month. I wanted her to make a new friend and meet Frederick. I also wanted Frederick to meet Irina because they are totally on the opposite sides of the political poles but hey, that's what they call 'diversity', right? It was fantastic to see the two of them together.
They had a couple of arguments about the Super Tuesday primary vote between Hillary and Obama. "Hillary Clinton shouldn't have been so factional. She shouldn't have attacked Obama on the Social Security issue--which we all know was false," said Frederick. "Obama's way out in left field. Just because you hang out with the Hyde Park crowd and mobsters, doesn't mean you should lead the country," retorted Irina. To which Frederick responded, "Man, just because the brother's creating some waves and making change doesn't mean he's out in left field!" Maybe that wasn't such a good idea, two opposing poles meeting. I was glad another performance started. The poem was about history and change and living the American Dream.
"This is going to be a historic election for America," said Frederick. "We have a chance to have the first ever black or the first ever woman president. This could signal to the world that we are changing our views. We can be the change that we want to see in the world. Dr. King's dream could come true." Irina agreed and smiled and said, "And I can tell my grandkids that I was there!" Frederick laughed at how innocent Irina looked. Historic indeed, imagine a person like Irina all of a sudden working just to see some change. Are you anticipating change too? What's your take on this whole election?
