WHY DO YOU BELIEVE IN RACIAL UNITY: I believe in racial unity because racial, cultural; skin color, and/or ethnic differences should not matter to us to the point that they drive a wedge among ourselves. This cultural diversity and differences should in fact, be celebrated and the foremost reason to get to know one another.
As human beings, we are part of this beautiful planet we ALL call home. Many of us think of ourselves as separate entities, from the rest of our fellow human beings, islands in the midst of a wide sea. Yet we all happen to be genetically identical, however; many choose to ignore this fact. This erroneous manner of viewing the world becomes an irrational imprisonment, born from a faulty way of thinking and flawed patterns of learned behavior. Our most important mission is to free ourselves from this improper conduct by practicing compassion, widening our circle of friends, and embracing everyone and everything under the sun. Then, we have to become what we say, lead by example, and teach our little ones to be color blind. Now for all that to take place we have to practice, internal peace. An vital ingredient to achieve peace in the world.

NICE! President Obama, was a pretty good looking kid!!!

These are some pics of our President, Barack Obama at the age of 20!
These pics are historical and I think they should be shared with everyone. Besides, it shows another dimension of President Obama as a young freshman...It could inspire kids to someday become a man of substance like him!
Cool Obama! Even back then, he exhibited lots of charm and charisma!
Enjoy them!
PEACE and LOVE...

Namaste,

THE MAN WHO WOULD BE PRESIDENT

Chance Encounter

In 1980, when Obama was a freshman at Occidental College in Los Angeles , he was approached by an aspiring photographer named Lisa Jack, who asked him if he would be willing to pose for some black and white photographs that she could use in her portfolio.

Handsome

Of her first meeting, in a campus eatery with Obama, Jack remembers only that "He was really cute." But what else does a 20-year-old girl remember?

Styled

In the photos, Jack says, "You can see he is just posing, initially, but as the shoot goes on, he starts to come out. He was very charismatic even then!"

Prop

Jack never realized her dream of becoming a photographer and is now a psychologist

Pose

Jack and Obama would see each other only a few more times more while students. But in 2005, while on a tour, she spotted Obama on Capitol Hill and yelled hello. "He knew exactly who I was after all this time," Jack says, "I was amazed!"

Doubt

On a dare from a skeptical friend, Jack decided to track down her negatives from the shoot.

Searcher

Initially, before she dug the film out from her basement, Jack never thought her pictures would have much life beyond her own darkroom.

Smile

When she found them, the images of Obama "Blew me away," she says, "I had no idea I'd taken a whole roll of film!"

Charm

For a while, Jack put the negatives in a safety-deposit box, so that they could not be used until after the election, when there would be no chance they could be misused for political purposes.

Thoughtful

Today, Jack says, she hopes the photos reveal a "Spirit of fun and thoughtfulness."

The Man Who Would Be President...!

"I'm not political," Jack says, "But, these are historic photos and they should be shared."

EVEN BACK THEN, HE WAS PRETTY COOL!!!

I have seen the ugliness that the hate filled ones have perpetrated against the caring, loving ones and I will do anything in my power as a human being to right the wrongs of the oppressors and show everyone that wants to listen that the only way we are going to survive is to open our minds and hearts to those that do not have the same color, size, religion as us.
