Race and the White House -- a must read
If you haven't checked this out yet, you must. This is by far the most poignant election-related story I've read. It's about the White House butler, a black man, and weaves a brilliant tale about the black visitors to the white house and the stain of racism on this country. And read to the end, it's worth it.

Re: Race and the White House -- a must read
I will read it. I love human stories, especially with how it relates to history. If it is half as good as the story of the gentleman that works at the Capitol who began as a sweeper and now a Capitol Hill staffer, I will be happy.

yes, i totally remember that story! it's great.
but really, this one in the post will make you cry. keep tissues handy.
Wow, that's a great article. And I'm tearing up now.
Thanks a lot, you've got me cryng all over myself at work! Thankfully it's Friday which means it's dead around here. Bad Gypsy!
my read shelf:
I was wondering why it was sad as I was reading it. I have a stone cold heart, so I figured I was missing something.
Nope, found it.?
OK, my throat tightened at the end (I am an automaton void of emotion, so that's about as crazy as it gets with me). You should have NSFW in the post title. How terribly sad.
