Only moments after Barack Obama became President elect I received several text messages to my phone from friends whom I thought were socially conscious. When, in fact, they were just excited to have a communal black friend.
OK, so you voted for him. That doesn't mean you can make black jokes. You know what, racist jokes are not cool. We, as a country, have worked decades to overcome civil rights oppression. And now, we have overcome it. hooray to us, sure. But it's all in vain if we continue proliferate the mindset that separates us from them.
C'mon! We've finally become a legitimate body in the international community! This is huge, seriously, the last time countries respected us was before Reagan sometime. You better not blow this U.S., please U.S. don't mess this up by making Obama into some self-righteous better than though hooray-U.S.-won't-bomb-the-democracy-into-you cliche.
No jokes, please.
I am not the first to say this.
Obama will do more for this country than any president in over a half decade.
A political shift has come to america.
Get ready for the new new deal.
