Shocking, Yet Inspiring Video?

My first response when I saw this video was, “Oh, snap!” I knew this had to be political satire (pretty good stuff, but I couldn’t find the names of the comedy writers). This is real and “keepin’ it real.” Politicians don’t do this kind of thing – show their families, especially when they are not in keeping with what’s believed to be traditional in American society? In America, people who want to get elected do not make tape like this and slam them on the tubes:

True – I never thought I would see this type of ad during my years on this planet. I’ve reconsidered.

This is “gangsta” – maybe the kind of campaign ad that can only fly New York (City); the old school spot where people from all over the world show up and where nothing is traditional. No, maybe this is the result of that era – we gave ourselves to during the last presidential election cycle – that is young, more racially and culturally experienced, and understanding that many folk worked hard to create. Is this the sign of that new America I’ve heard so much about, lately? Or, is this just the usual and time for me to declare the old racial cold war over?

Peace.

P.S. – This is not meant to be an endorsement of the candidate in the video.
