Civil Rights and Generation y

Generation y following Generation X, has president OBAMA to relate civil rights to.

Disappointment (GEN - Y)

I think that the present generation (GEN -Y) is probably proud of their open mindedness; but, very disappointed in the elder generation. My reason for saying this is because "We as Americans" have not shown the respect to the present President that his position deserves. There are many individuals that judge this President by their inner dislikes rather than by his abilities. I know that RACE is that hidden x factor in this matter. Many try to say that this President is not qualified or this and that. Yet, most of us know that the bottom line truth is the COLOR of his skin. I want to thank and commend the GEN-Y for all of their hard and dedicated efforts to HELP BRING ABOUT CHANGE. But the faithful people who truly believe in GOD and the following of Jesus Christ, know real change will be Ordained by GOD. I pray for this Ole World daily.
