During the TABS Banquet a man by the name of Bryson Pitts gave a very interesting speech. He talked about Barack Obama and what would happen if Barack won the Presidentcy. He touch on some vailed points about why people where voting for Obama and how it should not have taken a black man to run for president to get black people believing in themselves. I have met a lot of people that said they only voted for Obama because he's black and to me that's ok. They voted for him for their reasons, but I know I voted for him because I believed in what he was talking about and everytime he gave a speech it just grabbed me and made me believe.
Pitts talked about how blacks should not look at Obama and expect things to start being handed to them, instead they should continue to work hard and prove themselves.
Yes Barack is an inspration and a public figure or role model for young black to look up too but they should also realize that they have to continue to work hard and that's what Pitts was trying to say in his speech.
