OBAMA.

heyy. its been so long since i been on here. damn. ive expressed alot of feelings but not on here. so let me get to tellin yall...

okay...clearly. Barack Obama is our president-elect. now there is alot of controversy over this situation from both republicans and democrats. personally, i am proud tht there is a black man in office. but i am not proud of the ignorant ppl who know nothing about obama or why he even ran for president and won in the first place. ppl, black, white, asian, whatever, have their own opinions. but i think its especially embarrasing when a black person cant even discuss why they are strong supporters of obama. it should be an honor to everyone, especially african americans, tht he is now our president. but for yu to be a supporter yu have to know yur president. know yur facts. we look so ignorant when we are asked questions about obama and what he stands for and we cant answer them, other than speaking about his race. come on black ppl. lets get it together. obama isnt in office JUST because he is black. he is in there because he was the better candidate, in my opinion. and it also makes me sick when ppl go around a group of republicans and yell out tht their president is black just to piss them off. thts not what obama stands for. obama is EVERYONES president, even the republicans. and he aint rubbin it in the faces of the ppl who were against him so why are his so-called "supporters" doing so??? yur further separating the political parties and races. by supporting barack we support his morals and his policies. not just his fucking race. i mean, im black. but i dnt go around yelling tht my president is black just to piss ppl off. thts ignorant-something tht obama is not.

next. i was recently involved in a conversation with one of my classmates and he told me tht everyone who voted for obama was black. tht statement was ignorant. little did he know...60 fucking % of republicans who voted for bush last year voted for obama this year. and most of them were white. it disgusts me to see tht racism is still a factor in today's society. even in the younger generation. and when i brought up racism he referred to it as me thinking the black race was being attacked. but he, and other ppl, dont understand the complete severity of racism. there are some white ppl who still look dwn on the blck race. they can be in the same room as us but they still have to "keep us in our places." we cant have too much control because we dnt belong in a place of authority. its stupid. we have to work just as hard as we've been working, if not harder, to prove ourselves to the entire world. for example...my friends and i are in International Baccaelaurate classes. kind of like honors classes. we are the only three black ppl in the class but we are respected. they listen to our arguments and understand our intelligence. but if we were not in those classes they probably wouldnt even look at us. lets be real. obama's presidency goes far beyond HIS race but mine and every other black person. we aren't appreciated. and im not saying tht every white person is like tht. the majority of them arent. but what about the few tht are??? the question lingers in my head. this country will never be united with thoughts of hatred, ignorance, racism, gender, whatever.

but all in all...Barack Obama is president. we expect a change and i believe we will receive it. i support my president and i hope tht soon others in the country will support him too, rather than doubting him.

p.s. hey chadd. lmao.

peace.
