Election Day Meltdown

I intended on documenting the entire day and evening, and had a meltdown after just two minutes--from being overcome with emotion about this historical event.

Hey Sharon, I was deeply moved by your video. Im a 26 year old hispanic american living in Nevada. I've had several racist experience in my time. My grandparents and I cried the night Obama won becuase it reminded me of stories my grandparents told me about experiences living the south during the 1960s. Walking past signs in front of local businesses that says "No Blacks or Mexicans Allowed".

The night of November 4th really showed us as a nation how far we have come.

Hi mariog,

Thank you for the kind response.

Unfortunately, Hispanics are the new group to hate, and I hope President Obama will stop it before the hate groups get powerful, again.

I'm in Nashville, and we just had a vote here on "English Only." Surprisingly, and happily, it was defeated, but here in the South, it's not good for Hispanics.

But I have hope. I never thought I'd get to see an African American in the WH, and that gives me hope for Hispanics and women and other minorities.

you don't look like an idiot Sharon

a lot of us had the same feeling bubbling inside of us.

Thanks, gman. Like the song said, "It's been a long time coming, but I know a change is gonna come."

I'm so excited I can hardly stand it! Jan 20. will be such an honor to say, "President Obama."

Actually, the most discriminated against sector in society is everyone's whippin' boy...the white male Christian. We're fair game and there's nothing we can do about it. I grew up being brainwashed into believing that every failure of any minority was in some way my fault...despite the fact that my family didn't have indoor plumbing until I was a teenager, and our family never took a nickel from a fellow taxpayer.

Now you have a Marxist president to make all your wildest dreams come true!

You will cry again after realizing what Obama caused. oh hell you will.
