heres the way i see things... if a black man gets elected i am willing to accept that the country i choose to live in has made that decision... obviously he was the stronger candidate, i did vote for mccain, but obama won, he came from poverty, w/ no father figure and he is now the president... it is historic, you all should be proud that this man has accomplished this.... i mean this is the way that i see it, if he can do it, any black, poverty stricken, single parent raised american can... this is a time in history that we can tell anyone, black, white, asian, hispanic etc. can accomplish anything they want WITH OUT A HAND OUT!!! these are the people that bring our country down, and they have always used the race card, or being poor, or not having a dad as an excuse, thats gone now, no more excuses, we all have someone to look up to, someone that can be a POSITVE roll model for minorities... **** all of these rappers that do nothing more than brain wash our youth, which leads to crime, which are then a burdon on society... they can now look at what an education and hard work can get them... i am not racist, as i am betting all of you on this board are not either, get over it, as you are no better than some "baby mama" saying she cant get ahead cause the man is keeping her down by "hating" obama, because he's black....
