Beyond the Cosby Show: An open letter to the First Family (635 hits)


Dear First Family,

First let me say congratulations. Our family has followed your path to this historical moment with anxious anticipation, hope and pride. What you have accomplished will forever be known as nothing less than monumental. But you know that already. I write you today not as a voter or a constituent, but as a parent speaking for her young family. And as a parent, I look to other parents for examples of what works well and what doesn't so today I say "Thank you."

Thanks for sharing this. I agree that it's about time that the public have a firsthand look at a real-life successful Black family, not just the stereotyped dysfunctional families we're used to seeing in TV comedies.

It's evident that the Obamas are family-minded people. Their children are not just paraded out to look presentable for photo-ops, but are a real part of the campaign and their parents' lives.

This will be the first time since the 60s that small children have lived in the White House, and the comparison will always be made to the Kennedys. Granted, there are similiarities between the two, but this is a great opportunity to have real role models for Black excellence. Well said.
