Congratulations to every black person who has survived their history to get to this magnificent point in America's timeline.
Congratulations to all of America for stepping up and voting their conscious regardless of color.
May our past be behind us.
May just the beginnings of the greatness of this nation begin to unfold.
Well, you hit it right this time.
ReplyDeletePut this behind us, right where it came from in the first place.I have heard of great thoughts like this before the eleection.
I recall Hitler had US support, even wall street was behind him.
It's about time America woke up.
to the anonymous person before me,

I originally wanted to go on a long rant on how this election should be a decisive nail in the coffin to America bashing in general. At least we all can say now that American Rascim is essentially dead. I can not feel guilty for being white and I can look every black man in the eye with the same expectations and claims and honesty that I've always placed on those of my heritage.
ReplyDeleteBlacks are never again to be the oppressed. Whites are no longer oppressors. May the finger pointing and generalized excuses end forever. We've elected a black president. How well he does is irrelevent.
Let's see if people will dare treat him with the disdain they gave Bush once he finally falters. Which he most certainly will.
Then we'll know skin-color really doesn't make a difference.
Stay tuned.
Bush did win by a wide popular vote.
ReplyDeleteIt's not my hope that Obama be burned at the stake without accusing the mob of prejudice, but it is my prediction that they will turn on him just as easily.
For that I am glad. The fact that Americans are so fickle at all to turn on anybody is what bothers me.
I've been anxious for the country for a long time to get the Black man on socially percieved even ground. Like Obama said, It's been a long time coming.
I am genuinely happy and hopeful for American. The symbolism of Obama as president is the best thing for us in our history.
I'm just saying that now a man can be white or black and still be just a man - but the public doesn't want just a man for president.
They want a hero. A god.
And they'll turn on him when they find out he is less than that.
(note to self* is there a spell check on this thing? I'd hate to offend my more literary friends)

It's ain't the spelling that's the problem. It's the lack of any consistent (or appealing or reasonable) thoughts [present company excluded :)] and the inabililty to articulate the simplest idea. Everything seems to be shorthand blather for some ill thought out position or a sort of "jump to instant conclusions" flaming/misinterpretation of the post or other comments.
ReplyDeleteThoughts matter. Words matter.
When you type a thoughtful post about the pettiness of Americans (and the unstated degredation of public discourse) and somebody replies with the following post, I find it ironic and disturbing:
"shut the hell up. you stay losing, that was supremely stupid. Godwin's law says you just failed your own argument."
I want to put that on a t-shirt.
"you stay losing, that was supremely stupid"
I'd pay $9.99 for that shirt...Tone
ReplyDeleteso would I :)
ReplyDeleteLOL
I like "shorthand blather for some ill thought" as a band or country song too.
