Shelby Steele says Barack Obama won the presidential election by successfully basing his candidacy on race. We know very little about the content of Barack Obama’s character, although we will come to know it with every decision he makes as president. Obama represented an opportunity for white voters to dispel the stigma that this is a racist country. Black voters, by contrast, voted for Obama to dispel the idea that they are inferior. Either way, the November elections revealed how this country is obsessed by race.

In The Heights is a show that changed my life. This is the first video I ever made. I wanted to express how I felt about the show and show all of you how incredible it is through this video. Champagne is one of my favorite songs, so after a lot of work and help from my friend Brad telling me how to upload audio, this video was made. If you don’t know what ITH is you should. It is a dream of mine to meet the cast or sing with them, as it is a dream for most of us fans. They are all incredible people, good people, talented actors, writers, singers, and they won the Tony!! Im so proud of Lin Manuel and all he has created, so here it is!! If you’re watching Lin, I’ve followed you for 6 years now, and I am so proud of where you are! After a lot of begging and negotiating, I finally flew down last November and saw the original cast perform the show, and it was honestly one of the best nights of my life. The cast was incredible, and I cried throughout, especially at Benny and Nina’s kiss at the end of Blackout. People complained because they say broadway is not rap, and there is no room for an all rap musical. They are very naiive. In the Heights has it all, from rap to jazz dance music, to traditional and powerful broadway songs, to a 40s swing slow dance. The message behind ITH reaches all people, not just Latinos, Hispanics, White people or black people. The message about home is for everyone, and should inspire everyone. Thank you for watching this video and ITH forever …
