This past Halloween, my son Robeson met PresidentBarack Obama face-to-face atTrick or Treat at the WhiteHouse.

Ditching the mask of his Transformers cos-tume, Roby approached Obama with wavesand a wide, gapped-tooth smile that exposedhis glee inside.

While handing presidential candy to Roby, President Obamaasked, “Where’s your teeth?” Roby continued to smile with ex-citement before moving on to first lady Michelle.

While most are focused on the next presidency, I’m reflectiveabout the one that’s coming to a close. To protect myself fromthe psychological stress of this tumultuous election, I’ll stay cen-tered on those memories.

There are moments that confirm our existence in the world. Theseconds Obama rubbed Roby’s head in the same manner that Ido confirmed more for me than for my son.

Barack Hussein Obama is the only president my 5-year-old son(about to be 6) has ever known. Roby was born witnessing hisown possibilities.

Certainly, touching the president concretized that he, too, could

become POTUS. He doesn’t (yet) have the baggage of living withthe 43 white male presidents before Obama.

For a few moments, I regressed and asked myself, “When willthis happen again?”

But then I realized, my son and the other children who wereborn into my ancestors’ realized dreams will have very differentexpectations. Robeson will demand representation with a verydifferent energy than I ever could.

Just as Roby was born in his ancestors’ dreams, he also sharestheir nightmares. Roby absorbs Trayvon Martin, Eric Garner,Michael Brown and Alton Sterling.

We live in New Orleans where you live and die in disparities.He’s fully cognizant of the racialized spaces of schools, eventsand social circles. Roby even caught Confederate-flag MardiGras beads during Mardi Gras last year. My son copes with in-stitutional racism that existed under a black president.

I have “the conversation” over and over again. But Robydoesn’t imagine or hope for a seat at the table; he truly has onealready claimed.

My son understands what’s at stake with this election. As Irubbed Roby’s head while exiting the White House grounds,Roby asked, “Why can’t Obama be president again?” (In myhead, I was asking the same thing.)

Children feel the stress that adults project, and for almost twoyears, projecting fear has been the chief campaign strategy forboth parties. Advertising the personal faults of candidates can’tbe healthy for children, and the “Sky will fall,” “All or nothing” rhet-oric is just false.

An aside: Black folk have always been in danger from a “sta-

Van Jones powerfully explains why a Trump presidency is really terrifying

As the election results rolled in late Tuesdaynight and it became increasingly clear thatDonald Trump was going to be the next presi-dent of the United States, Van Jones explainedto two Trump supporters just why so manypeople are scared of those results.

“I have enough class and I was raised wellenough to say when you outdo expectations,good for you,” he told CNN contributors JeffreyLord and Kayleigh McEnany

“People have talked about a miracle but I’mhearing about a nightmare,” he said. “It’s hardto be a parent tonight for a lot of us. You tellyour kids, ‘Don’t be a bully.’ You tell your kids,‘Don’t be a bigot.’ You tell your kids ‘Do yourhomework and be prepared.’ Then you havethis outcome and you have people putting chil-dren to bed tonight, and they’re afraid of break-fast. They’re afraid of how do I explain this tomy children. I have Muslim friends who are tex-ting me tonight saying, ‘Should I leave thecountry?’ I have families of immigrants that areterrified tonight.”He then continued:“This was many things. This was arebellion against the elites, true. Itwas a complete reinvention of poli-tics and polls, it’s true. But it wasalso something else. We havetalked about everything but racetonight. We have talked about in-come, class, religion. What wehaven’t talked about is race. Thiswas a whitelash. This was a white-lash against a changing country. Itwas a whitelash against a blackpresident in part, and that is part ofwhere the pain comes. And DonaldTrump has a responsibility tonightto come out and reassure peoplethat he is going to be the presidentof all the people who he insultedand offended and brushed aside.”

ble,” “respectable” democracy. Allthis talk about the potential of aTrump victory or loss to put

democracy at risk ignores the his-tory of last week, let alone thedeep history of blacks’ exclusionfrom it. We have to stop with the

hyperbole. The safety blanket ofdemocracy won’t be given to you,regardless of outcome.

I’m under no illusion that elect-ing the first female president willsmash the “isms” Obama was os-tensibly unable to destroy.

But what was confirming for meduring the trip to the White Housewas that greater representation isneeded in the position. The coun-try needs women, Latinos, Asians,atheists, Jews and Muslims toserve in the highest office of theland.

The seeds of authentic repre-sentation that were planted for myson may not bear fruit till later, butthey’ve been planted.

Roby is living with a differentpsychology of really seeing him-self in the seat of power from priorgenerations.

My hope for Roby is that hefights for people not represented.Obama proved that we can electsomeone other than a white man.

But there is always a dangerthat people will use their gender,race or religion as a mask to de-liver the same policies as the 43presidents before Obama.

I loved that Roby didn’t want towear a mask to meet the presi-dent. And I also love that Obama

didn’t wear a costume. He lookedgood in his sweater and slim-fitjeans.

I don’t know what effects beingborn in Obama’s first term willhave on my son or other children.

Roby has a unique privilege ofseeing blackness in himself, hisfather, Michael Brown, Alton Ster-ling and the president of theUnited States all at the same time.I just know that I have to protectmy son’s seat at the table so therest of us can find out.(Editor’s note: Join the con-

NAACP Issues Statement on 2016Presidential Election

“This beautiful fall morning represents the end of a long night filledwith many midnight moments of uncertainty, voter intimidation and sup-pression, campaigns founded on bigotry and divisiveness as an elec-toral strategy.

“And yet, despite the moments of ugliness, this election season hasreminded us of the beauty and strength of both the nation and of theNAACP.

“This was the first presidential election in more than 50 years wherevoters did not have the full protection of the Voting Rights Act. We con-fronted all manners of ugly, unconstitutional voter suppression, includingvoter purging, long lines and intimidation and misinformation.

When white nationalists bragged about dispensing malt liquor andmarijuana in African-American communities to suppress the vote, wewere neither distracted nor dissuaded from our work. When campaignoperatives and candidates alike openly called for voter suppression inbroad daylight and on camera, we neither flinched nor flagged in ourefforts.

“The NAACP prevailed in the federal courts against voter suppressionno less than nine times in recent months. In Texas, our state confer-

Do YouKnow theCost ofHealthcarein Retirement?Well the reality is no

one really knows. Astudy conducted by Fi-delity Benefits Consult-ing reported that acouple could spend anaverage of $220,000 inmedical expensesthroughout retirement.This is a significantchunk of your retire-ment income and couldgrow each year.

Your healthcare is not just yourmedical expenses but also your vi-sion, hearing and dental. AARP’sHealthcare Cost Calculator(www.aarp.org/hccc) can help youdetermine your cost based on spe-cific situation.

It allows you to develop a profilethat directs you to actions you cantake that may lower your cost anddirects you to resources that helpyou tackle long term health caresavings goals. The tool will also fac-tor in your Medicare cost.

Let’s take a moment to turn toMedicare, the nation’s health insur-ance program for persons disabledand those 65 and older. Medicare isrun by the Centers for Medicare andMedicaid Services (www.cms.gov)(CMS).

There they will answer all yourMedicare/Medicaid questions tohelp you get enrolled and find thebest place for you.

To remind you and get you ontrack, three months before you turn65 Medicare will send you enroll-ment information that will include in-formation on Medicare Part A(covers hospital, skilled facility care,home healthcare and hospice), PartB (covers doctor visits, outpatientservices and preventive care) andPart D (the prescription drug plan).

CMS will give you seven months toapply – three months prior to turning65, the month you turn 65 and threemonths after you turn 65.

If you miss this application timelineyou may find yourself paying higherpremiums for the rest of your life; infact, 10% higher for Part B for every12 months you did not have cover-age, but there may be exceptionslike if you or your spouse is stillworking and have insurance.

While Medicare helps to defray thecost of your medical expenses, it’simportant that you know what yourout of pocket cost will be.

In addition, if you choose to pur-chase Part D prescription drug cov-erage from a Medicare-approvedinsurance company that should befactored in your cost as well. It is es-sential that you select the right planfor you and revisit your plan yearly(open enrollment October 15 – De-cember 7) to make sure your exist-ing plan continues to meets yourhealth care needs.

When considering coverage thereare few things to think about – arethe services you need covered;does your doctor accept your cover-age; do you have to choose yourhealth providers and hospital from anetwork; and, do you need a referralto see a specialist?

With regard to cost, how much areyour premiums, deductibles andother; do you have to pay for hospi-tal stays or doctor visits; is there ayearly limit on your out of pocketmedical cost; and what are your pre-scription drug cost under your planand are your required drugs on theapproved list to be covered? All ofthis is important as you manageyour retirement expenses.

You don’t want all your incomegoing to your health care cost - re-member you have retirement goalsthat you want to achieve as well.

Have more questions? Go towww.aarp.org/MedicareQA and go

to www.medicare.gov for generaland specific information about theprogram and your coverage.

ence saved 608,470 votes with a victorious decision fromthe U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit. In North Car-olina, our state conference saved nearly five percent of theelectorate when the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fourth Cir-cuit ruled that the state legislature had enacted discrimina-tory voting laws that intentionally targeted anddisenfranchised black voters. And, just days ago, theNAACP saved nearly 4,500 voters from being purged fromthe North Carolina rolls.

“The last five days of the campaign, after many months inplanning, we formally launched our Selma Initiative, to pro-tect the right to vote. We targeted 6,022 precincts in 17states, dispatching both lawyers and laypeople alike toguard the ballot box and safeguard the rights of votersstanding in long lines through our national command cen-ter.

“Altogether, we mobilized our two million digital activists,nearly half million card-carrying members, 2,200 local units,and more than a hundred partner organizations to both pro-tect and get out the vote through the Selma Initiative.

“History will judge not only the courage of our volunteersbut also the cowardice of those who chose again and againto suppress the vote rather than listen to the voice of democ-racy this year.

“History may take note of the Selma Initiative, but let usall now remember Shena Goode, a 79-year-old NAACP vol-unteer who not only organized a virtual phone bank in herapartment complex, but also made more than 200 calls in asingle day to get out the vote.

“Her story is the story of the NAACP and the nation. Whencivil rights are threatened, we are as persistent as we aredetermined.

“Now that the election is over, the first priority for a newCongress and a new president must be restoring the badly-broken Voting Rights Act.

“We cannot afford to send untold teams of lawyers to courtand spend incalculable sums of money to defend our rightto vote in the courts and in the streets again and again andagain.

“Any effort to suppress the vote, whether at the hands oflawmakers, judges or everyday people, is and must continueto be considered unjust, un-American and utterly unaccept-able. The NAACP will not rest until full and equal votingrights are restored for each and every American citizen.”

Friend,

I’m as disappointed as anyone. Wehad the opportunity to elect a candi-date -- the first woman president --who would have brought people to-gether, created jobs, strengthenedour nation’s leadership across theglobe, and opened up ladders of op-portunity for countless Americans.

It pains me to say that Hillary Clintonis not going to be our next president.I couldn’t have been more honored toserve as her running mate. Anne andI did over 900 events in 40 states dur-ing the 105 days we were on the cam-paign -- 105 days we will always lookback on with pride.

But this isn’t a time to give up.

We need to strengthen our resolve tofight against injustice, break the grid-lock in Congress, and use govern-ment to make people’s lives better.

And I’m going to be enlisting the helpof each and every one of you to helpmake that happen.

Part of what has always made Amer-ica great is that, no matter who youare or where you come from, we allagree to respect the same process.We choose our elected leaders withballots, not bullets and tanks.

So I want to congratulate Donald

Trump and Mike Pence on their vic-tory.

I traveled all across the country dur-ing the course of this campaign. I vis-ited red states and blue states, urbancommunities and rural ones, andspoke with individuals of every creedand color who love this country andwant the best for it.

All of our elected officials owe it tothe citizens of this country to try toput this divisive election behind us,and focus on the hard work of mak-ing government work for our people.

It all goes back to a very simple be-lief: We need to do all the good wecan and serve one another.

That is what I’m about. And it’s why,in the Senate, I’m committed to work-ing with both parties and president-elect Trump to find the commonground to move our country forward.

I want to thank all of you who pouredyour hearts, just as I did, into thiscampaign. Every time you wereasked to help, you delivered.

Tuesday night was hard. But there isimportant work ahead. We are stillstronger together. And together, wecan help shape a better future.
