| | After much reluctance, I ended up voting. My President is Black, and in many ways I'm proud. But that doesn't mean I'm pledging allegiance to him or America.
Is having prayer meetings for Obama technically against the separation of Church and State?
Jesse Jackson deserves to be selected as one of Obama's cabinet members. Seriously. A lotta shit on Jesse and try to make him irrelevant, but he's been on the forefront of the civil rights struggle since the sixties. In the truest since, Obama wouldn't exist without the work Jesse's put in.
Oprah shouldn't be a cabinet member. I have no real argument here, but it shouldn't be hard to make up a few.
I almost feel kinda (not really) sorry for Sarah Palin. Before the election, she was a nobody. Now that she lost, she remains a nobody. I think she wanted it more than McCain, because if McCain got elected and then died, she would be the first female president... instead of Hillary. Damn.
Obama, as much as he uplifts and inspires people, has just inhereted a mess. There are already millions of Americans who hate and want to crucify him. And I have to honestly question whether electing a Black man will really help race relations in America, or will they worsen (which I fear). Either way, it's about time we as a nation are forced to deal with it in the public eye. The whole world is watching what he will do next. I don't care what he does next, I wanna know what the people are gonna do. I wanna know what the racist right-wingers are gonna do... are they gonna pledge allegiance to McCain or try to secede again? Or are they gonna declare a Christian holy war against the evil empire that has poisoned their once great country? Is someone gonna try to assassinate Obama? And if they do, will Blacks finally rise up against the government in the way that has been feared and prophesied since slavery? What will happen in Africa? The Middle East? Could it be the beginning of...
