I, Too, Sing America

In the tapestry that was the throng blanketing the public concourse
stretching from the Lincoln Memorial to the portico where President
Barack Hussein Obama took the oath of office, I was struck by a
strange and incongruous sight: a sea of black people waving tiny
American flags.  What bizarro world was this?  Black people waving
American flags?  Get the flux out of here!  And yet, there they were,
waving their red, white and blue flags proudly, enthusiastically and
full of the vigor of having obtained their full statehood rights. 
First Lady Michelle Obama was vilified for voicing an opinion similar
to what these people were so obviously demonstrating: for the first
time in their adult lives, they were proud to be Americans.
