I am a 36 year old hispanic female. I've been crying since last night when it was clear Obama was going to win. Some of my kids do not understand why this is such a big deal. I tried to explain that when I was little my dad used to tell me stories about how there were bathrooms he had to use which were labeled 'niggers, jews and dogs'-the mexicans being the dogs. There were other stories, which still boggle my mind, because I cannot fathom such ignorance. When I think that my dad- my dad, the sweetest person you will ever meet, had to endure such bigotry.well, it saddens me.When Barack started this whole journey, my dad said 'He doesn't have a chance.
There's just no way'. Not because he was trying to be negative, but because the experiences he had as a child are still burned in his memory. Today, there are no words to describe how proud I am that we did not fuck this up.I hate to cry. I try never to cry in front of people.which is why I'm so glad no one's home to see me STILL bawling over this win for our country.THANK YOU AMERICA!.
