The End Of Racism?

Wednesday, NOVEMBER 5th, 2008

White people seem more excited abut the Obama election than black people and I'll tell you why.

I'm sorry to rain on your parade my African-American friends, but do not be fooled. Although one of your own has been elected; although he has the best of African-Americans at heart; although he will do more for you than any other president has done (we hope); understand this: white people in America now believe racism is over. No, they really do. So prepare for the backlash, Black America. Don't be fooled by the tears of Jesse Jackson and Orpah Winfrey, which seem to say the election of Barack Obama is the culmination of years of Civil Rights struggle. Give white people an inch and they'll take a mile. Now that a black man has been elected president of the United States, white people the world over (and especially within the U.S.) believe the problem of racism is solved. They believe 400 years of human rights violations is paid for. They believe that they (yes "they"... white people) have "allowed" a black man to become president of the United States
and therefore there is nothing you can say as an African-American ever again to justify feelings of racial discrimination. If you don't believe me... just wait.

And although he was the best choice to put America back in the seat of "Citadel of Freedom" or "Liberty" or any of those other pretty sounding words; the reality of the situation is that he is a run-of-the-mill Democrat Party politician. The good news is that he will make the better decisions for foreign AND domestic policy (again, we hope). The bad news is that because he is black, the entire population of White America is going to hold that against you, my African-American friends. Prepare for the backlash. White people will no longer allow you to say you didn't get the job you deserve because you are black. White people will no longer allow you to say liquor stores and churches litter your communities because you are black. White people will no longer tolerate your leaders. Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton and Louis Farrakhan are basically "Persona Non Grata" now. If you don't believe me, just watch... and wait.

The person I feel most sorry for is Barack Obama. He is now considered the messiah of Black America. And to make it worse, he is expected to solve every single problem America is facing right now. And if he doesn't, Afro-America; like Jesus before him, poor Barack is going to be nailed to their fucking cross with as little mercy as they showed Christ himself. If you don't believe me... just watch... and wait.

MARCH FOR EQUALITY

Today marked what we hope to be a series of demonstrations for equality in our nation and give people of all sexual orientations to live their lives however they see fit without their government intervening in any way. If you did not get to make it out today we've posted a photo gallery from the demonstration here:
