actually he is mixed race but if it makes you feel better to call im black go ahead.. granted to some people youll look like a fool doing so,,but hey,,its still a free country aint it??at least for a lil while longer...
So it makes someone white trash bigots to call him what he is (bi-racial)? I mean, his mother was a white woman, no?
i too thought it was funny when he was all fumbly when swearing in if anything he is a new face and someone who speaks better (other then the swearing in) maybe people will be more interested in community service...maybe. in his speech today he did mention blame on those corporate elite for basically causing this economic crisis.
Lots of people are multi-racial. I know people usually point out the fact that I'm mixed when it's convenient. Or when they are trying to neutralize my blackness so they won't feel different from me and insecure. Color-blindness as an ideology is sheer convenience. But what tha fuck am I talking about? All ideology is convenience.
fucking shame, that's what it is. then i can say "my man is native american, so am i, deal with it." really though, just another president. i hope he does better than the last. i have no personal stake or pride in his color, so i don't really care.
Don't get me wrong, I do hope he proves everyone wrong and does turn things around. But reality and common sense just say totally different.
let people have their joy and excitement. both are hard enough to come by. this is a big deal for a lotta people, i kinda get a warm glow from their happiness. hard times are upon us and getting worse. a little party and pride won't hurt anyone, not really.
