What if



What if Daniel Snyder decides to hire Ron Meeks, (a black man) as the head football coach of the Washington Redskins.......
What if the Washington Redskins make it to the Super Bowl next season, under quarterback Jason Campbell, (a black man)..........
What if the Washington Wizards make it to the NBA championship this year. They're coached by Eddie Jordan, (a black man).....



............and what if the next resident of the White House is President of theUnited States Barack Obama, (a black man).........

We would be able to welcome back the "black man" to the nation's capitol, who is not a criminal, not locked up or strung out on drugs. He has leadership skills, is articulate, is of good character, is spiritual, is well groomed, is a family man, is a good father, a good husband. Wouldn't this bring much pride back to the black man and the black family who has been portrayed so negatively in the media, though a lot of it is our own doing. Wouldn't it be great to see a black family at the highest level in the country? Maybe our youth would want to mimic that, instead of the gangsta rap artist with the drooping pants, the bling and the slang. Just maybe they would want to complete their education and want to further that education. Maybe they would want to strive to be the next black president? Well at least I can dream and and guess what? That dream could very much become a reality. Martin Luther King Jr. said it best, "I have a dream........".
