Sen. Barack Obama speaks to over 125,000 crowd members in Chicago’s Grant Park, minutes after being elected the 44th president of the United States, becoming the nation’s first black person to be elected president.

Obama, the son of a black father from Kenya and a white mother from Kansas and a first-term Democratic senator from Illinois, defeated second-time Republican presidential candidate Sen. John McCain. The election proved even more victorious for Democrats, which now have the majority in both the House and Senate, the first time since 1994.

    I also wanted to point out that Barack is not for black people. He’s not for white people. He is for PEOPLE! One of the reasons I voted for him is because he wasn’t a child of privilege. Nothing was handed down to him except a sense of hard work and determination. He’s not from money. Did any of you know that he was once homeless in NYC? Barack was just like any other man. He was trying to find his place in life. He kinda reminds me of me because I moved around quite a bit trying to figure out just what the hell am I suppose to do in life. What is my purpose? This is why so many people feel the connection to him.

    I am a young black female who happens to be Canadian and we are SO HAPPY FOR OBAMA and AMERICA. I have been cring for the past 48 hours tears of happiness and joy. I stayed up until 4am just to watch all the after coverage. Finally a man is being judge by the content of his character and not for hte colour of his skin. Barack Obama represents ALL people and America should feel very proud.

    John McCain’s speech was very gracious ( as they usually are ) but also very insightful.. I hope he does reach out to Barack and the Democrats.

    Although his presidency will be very challenging.. I am open to the limitless possibilities that Barack can achieve. He is very competitive and he will make mistakes…but WE ( yes I’m including myself ) should stand beside him and with him as he grows and help each other. Canada is America’s cousin and we need to develope a better relationship with our brothers. Everything that affects America, usually affects Canada too. so we DO HAVE A STAKE in his Presidency!

    Congratulations Mr. President Elect, Michelle, Joe and Jill!

    “Be the change you wish to see in the world” That’s YOU BARACK!

    Lvoe and Light Always

  5. I’m still in awe. This is so wonderful and exciting to be apart of. Barack is our 1st BLACK, educated, smart, FINE, intellegent PRESIDENT!

    I know MY V-O-T-E truly MATTERED..

    I came back on here, and some people do not understand why we are celebrating. We are not simply celebrating for our “black” candidate, we are celebrating because Americans said in one voice, they wanted change. They wanted to deviate from the typical business as usual. This brother has rewritten political history books, and some people are hung up on false prophecies, and campaigns, and cannot see that a black man shifted the electoral map. President Obama turned traditionally red states into democratic states during this election. He has the highest number of electoral votes in the history of this nation. That’s something to celebrate, and color does not have to be mentioned.

    As far as Bible goes, how can one support the divisive spirits spread by McCain/Palin. The bible says “Test the spirit by the spirit,” and when I got done testing the McCain/Palin spirit was not of God. The Republicans prayed that blacks would not have high voter turnout, they prayed that the Bradley effect would happen (aka racism), I mean, what is godly about that. President Obama has openly said that he does not support same sex marriage. I want to know how is it that historians never want to say that Jesus is a man of color, but are willing to say that the Anti-Christ is a man of color. I can see how Bush used religion to manipulate those who do not study their Bibles for themselves.

  7. Anita Shuntel

    WE DID IT! God Bless Barack & Michelle OBAMA and Us! This is not just a one person fix, it’s ALL of Us. I’ve NEVER been so PROUD to be an American Citizen. I wish my Granny was here to witness this. I think of her and all of the other African-Americans who exprienced any unjustice. God does EVERYTHING with PURPOSE and REASON. We are Truly BLESSED!

  8. veronica

    all these post r really great,but we need to represent.like I said we can no longer blame “THE MAN” for our problems,get your neighborhoods together and stop killing one another!!!!

  9. Woop... I hate haters, does that make me a hater..?

    I was welling up at his speech. He’s got an uphill struggle but I believe he’s the man for the job. Congrats to all u Americans for making the right choice. ( Especially in Florida, Pennsylvnia and Ohio :D )

    I do have to say that McCain came across graciously and magnamonious in his speech when he conceded defeat even when there were hecklers and whatnot, so that’s commendable, I suppose. Now we all have to work together, America, Europe, Asia, Africa, Middle East to sort out this flippin global crisis

  10. OBAMA CHICK

    THANK GOD WE NOW HAVE OUR FIRST BLACK PRESIDENT!!! NOT ONLY DID THIS BLACK MAN WIN..HE WON BY A LAND SLIDE!!!

    THIS PROVES THAT WE AS BLACKS CAN BE ANYTHING WE WANT TO BE!!!

  11. Doland

    Once again I hear Negro leaders spewing out ignorance to the black community about politics and voting. Please show some intelligence, and impart wisdom to the black community. If you do not, black people will STOP voting AGAIN because there is NOTHING in it for them.

    EVERYONE of the white, yellow, and red people that voted for Obama did it because HE PROMISED TO DO SOMETHING FOR THEM. Not the other way around. That’s the way politics works.

    Black people are not super human. They’re not going to stop drinking and drugging, and suffering from depression, HIV, DISCRIMINATION in every facet of society, and high rates of unemployment just because a black man is in the white house.

    As long as the govt sits by and allows white rascist to force black people back into Jim Crow the black man will continue with extreme low self esteem, self hatred, and destruction.

    We must demand something for OUR VOTE. The main thing we must demand is that the govt sees to it that discrimination in housing, employment, and the court system ends. We must demand that SEVERE fines, and prison sentences be levied for these crimes, and that the burden of proof is not so high.

    AARP just wrote me a letter, along with the millions of other seniors, asking that we sign a petition to force Barack into addressing our issues in the first 100 days.
    All intelligent special interest groups will be asking him to keep his campaign promises.

    If we ask nothing, we’ll get nothing, and having a black president will not have benefited us one bit, AND I personally will NOT vote another one in, in that case.

  12. myopia

    I do think that the Obama camp was being a little too generous when they said the McCain/Pailin camp ran a good and honest campaign. But I do hope both sides can come together and do what they have to do for the will of the people.

  13. MorganState

    @384 I do find him to be sexy too lol Brotha’s are gonna have to step up their game now, Barack has ruined it for them..Sista’s are gonna want an educated man with his pants not sagging down lol I think this is good for everyone. Maybe we will start holding each other accountable and doing our best to achieve something great. I don’t know about the rest of ya’ll but I am looking for a man like Barack now lol

  29. HALCYONC

    @508…I’ve always wanted/had an educated/good black man. There have always been good black men. Don’t be fooled.

  30. R&B Chick

    ^^ I know this, I am just saying for the ones who did not believe that I bet they are looking for one now lol to be honest, I have always known there are educated black men too, and have dated them, I just find it funny that now people will probably take a second look at guys like Barack and the ones who didn’t think it would be “cool” to be smart will probably be inspired.

  31. JUDAH

    @ Meatloaf/DaisyDukes

    I’m tryin’ to let ya’ll have and enjoy your little “simple negro” moment. You gotta let the man that’s about to die enjoy his last meal and cigarette. Now had I chimed in, you cats and these silly women would’ve thrown a hissyfit. “Here come dis nigga Judah wit his ‘negativity’.”. Lol. I avoid idolatrous posts like this for a reason. They’re too emotionally driven and based in vanity and carnality. This is a time for the idiots amongst our race to jump up and down, clap, and shout, which is about all the majority of you are mentally capable of doing. The ones of our people in the know understand that this is one of the last phases before the destruction of this present world and the wicked of our people. Obama’s (s)election is the perfect pretense to make black people more “patriotic” and believing in the lies of the powers that be so that they can be lead like sheep to the slaughter in their own destruction in these oncoming wars that are on the docket. This nonsense has black people, the descendants of slaves, waving American flags. Slaves to the core, smh. The white man’s power is waning, he knows this, and he wants to take as many of his enemies with him as he can (Rev 12:12).

    Who didn’t know that McCain was not going to be selected to be administrative assistant to the international bankers? Obama has paid the cost to be the boss, lol. Now when this whole corporation known as America collapses around him, since he’s been set up to be the fall guy, I want to see how many of you clowns are going to stick by him or will have the intelligence to explain for the decisions he will be ordered to make. I expect simplicity from most of these women, but the majority of you black men need to be ashamed of your damn selves for falling for the okey doke over and over. What Obama will eventually do is get rid of affirmative action and quota based hiring because he will be used as alleged “proof” that “racism no longer exists”. On top of that, you buffoons give the couple of sisters on this post that are actually trying to stand for something a hard time.

    Bitter Judah!

    Bitter Judah!

    Bitter Judah!

    You said it wouldn’t happen, but it did! So much for your prophetic error! You can tell a true prophet by the things he predicts…that come to pass! Judah, your prediction got overwhellmed by two-thirds margin. A landslide! So, now you want to play the assisnation card like a scared roach trapped in the corner. I wear pointed-toe shoes just for such occasions! You talked all that BS about a conspiracy by the “man” to beat the democrats and now you’re trying to move on like you know whats gonna happen next. Shut up fool!!! Shut up bitter Judah!

    You said one thing that I hope is right: “…Obama’s (s)election is the perfect pretense to make black people more “patriotic”. I think it will also make white people color-blind! Reaching out from both sides is call faith! The evidence of things unseen! You should try faith and lose all the negative doubt!

    Dukesman, I’m starting to regret that we exposed the uncle Tom! I liked him better as a quiet uncle! He said he was trying to let us enjoy the moment! hehehehe! That’s a translation for “He was hoping that no one noticed”. Well, you can always tell the nut from the tree it falls.

    Bitter Judah!

  34. Adrianne

    I am so blessed and proud to be a part of this historical moment. Parent’s it’s definately important for our children to say “We have finally arrived”. We have reached a milestone, what a pivitol point in history.

  35. CommonGround

    Conspiracy theories abound I see..I think the slave mentality causes some black people to believe that there has to be a “trick” in this somewhere..some just have to believe that there is a “set up” and that Barack is being put in a position to fail. Well, all you had to do was look at the crowd in Grant Park on the night of the election. This election is bigger than black vs. white. That is going to be seen as an antiquated way of seeing world issues. The world looks more like barack obama than black vs. white. Young people who are moving into positions of poer in this country, have spoken. they do not subscribe to the black vs. white theory so much. If you looked at the crowd there were black, white, latino, asian, arab, and everything else in between. Barack is a president for the people, and not just american people. People around the globe rejoiced at his victory.

    I feel for those who just can’t believe that this win actually trumped the race baiters and the racist who dwell in the corners of our country..it is a symptom of something much bigger. That doubt, fear and negativity is born out of the slave mentality. Instead of taking your rightful place in this country that was built off the sweat of our backs, some of us would rather give “excuses” as to why we can’t participate and actually beat the system. Barack Obama played by their rules and beat them at their own game. That in itself deserves credit. No matter how I look at it, I see Barack as giving inspiration to millions of people of color around the globe. I refuse to give in to doubt and/or fear. This is exactly what Barack encouraged to do, and he won. He had the audactity to hope and that hope has turned into a reality. He is the first of many to break the barrier. Many people believed the Rev. Wright issue would derail him. It did not.

    This country that was built by us saw something change on Nov. 4th, and the racists who still exist, were all outnumbered on Nov. 4th. We did not do this alone black people, some hearts have been changed. This country will never be the same. It’s called progress and as much of our brothers and sisters who cling to fear and doubt, just can’t believe that something positive happened, bow your heads and pray for them, because it is hard for them to realize that the chains are broken, and its time to take our rightful place in this society. That only happens when we claim it. Fear will keep us gridlocked, conspiracy theories help the fearful stay grid-locked and give them a reason not to participate..It’s really only their fear speaking. So forgive them…of course it’s not an easy road ahead of Barack, but it wouldn’t be easy for any president. Our world is in chaos now, and a black man will be the one to set the tone, he will be the one to put us back on the path to prosperity. Remember, it was already said that he wouldn’t accomplish the great feat of becoming President, but he did. To those who are now waiting for his downfall? You sound like a broken record already. Just watch God work through Mr. President..Barack Obama…

  36. Sexychocolate

    Obama is sexy as hell damn

  37. Sexychocolate

    I see yal trying to act like yal ain’t see my question about illegal immigrant.. its all good

  38. beyonceaintallthat

    Number 498 sexy chocolate
    This is what Obama plans to do for illegal immigrant

    border fence
    “The key is to consult with local communities [when] creating any kind of barrier.”

    Obama voted for the fence but has since joined Clinton in de-emphasizing his support, which is unpopular in border towns and among Hispanic voters.

    Guest worker program
    “Illegal immigration is bad for illegal immigrants and bad for the workers against whom they compete.”

    Obama supports a guest-worker program with a database of workers, arguing it will improve wages and conditions for all workers.

    Legalization and amnesty
    “Give the 12 million people who are here illegally… many of whom have U.S. citi­zens for children…a pathway to legalization.”

    Obama supports giving illegal immigrants a path to legal residency, similar to Clinton’s position.

    Enforcement and security
    “I will make sure that the federal government does what it’s supposed to do…a better job of closing our borders and preventing hundreds of thousands of people to pour in.”

    Obama voted for comprehensive immigration reform and has stressed that legalizing workers will boost U.S. wages.

  41. dukesman2000

    Oh shit, the King Uncle Tom has emerged. Judas, after it was announced that Obama had been elected the 44th President of the United States, for some reason I pictured you holding your chest in the same way Red Fox used to do in “Sanford and Son” Hahaha.

    I know your little self hating heart could not handle the fact that a Black Man was elected President. There you go preaching the bible to me again. What about your thoughts? Do you think for yourself? Look I am saying you are ignorant but you know a lot about things that aren’t so.

  42. dukesman2000

    Well said Meat…..

    Ooooh Judas, Meat got in that ass…lol. You could not handle me as it is and now you have deal with an honorary member of the AUTOS crew. Oh you don’t know what crew I am talking about? Annihilate Uncle Toms on Sight (AUTOS).

    Hey Meat I dont regret cutting the grass and exposing this snake’s tail and you shouldn’t either….lol

  43. JUDAH

    @Meat

    Lmao! You almost made me crack a rib with that “Shut up bitter Judah!”. Nigga pull up your panties and tighten your bra. This is why I like to mess wit ya’ll cats. I tell you what. Let’s see what happens in the oncoming months and years (or however long this lasts) and get back to me. You negroes set yourselves up everytime. The only surprise in this whole fiasco was when the Illuminati allowed Obama to beat Hillary but it’s similiar to what they did here in NY with former governor Spitzer in replacing him with the black governor Patterson in order to make Patterson the bearer of bad news, i.e. the total collapse of Wall Street, the crux of the U.S. economy. The scriptures tell us that America will be destroyed by thermonuclear destruction because it has spread it’s false doctrines worldwide and it’s inhabitants worship Satan but call him “God” (II Cor 11:13,14, Zech 14:12, Mal 4:1). I don’t see anyone doing anything to avert that, certainly not a politician that agrees with hom*sexual rights and abortion (Psa 12:8). There’s honestly so much that I can go into on this idiocy and the information that has been dug up on this charlatan that it would be it’s own post in and of itself. This is why I told you that I wanted you clowns to enjoy your last meal (Isaiah 22:13,14).

    You’re so gung ho on coming together with whites that when the fabricated euphoria of having this dude assume a position in which he will have to follow the same orders as everyone else wears off, it will quickly become apparent that no one can stop the inevitable. This is why you harassed those sisters, and had the nerve to act as if you knew the Bible, lol. You are unequally yoked with them because they believe in the scriptures, to a degree. You believe in America. The two are diametrically opposed. Our people are drunken from the wine of the Great Whore (Rev 18:2,3). Now if you knew the Word of the Lord, you would understand where and to what degree you err, but you don’t so you won’t. Your girlfriend Dukesman is joking about whites reporting to the plantation, lmao. You think that Obama is going to even the playing field, much less levy favor to blacks? Ya’ll really think that this provides some type of leverage to black people, particularly black men, huh? Our people are under a divine curse from the Most High which can only be solved by returning to him in the spirit of truth, not to some contrived watchdog like Obama. You know what it is too man? Ya’ll dudes like to hear the truth but you hate to accept it (Isaiah 30:9,10, Ezek 33:30-32). Anyone who does REAL research can see what this is about.

    @CommonGround

    The same applies to you as well, brother or sis (whatever you are). Due to the fact that most black people’s minds are not trained, they react to everything emotionally i.e. “Meat” and “Dukesman”. Negroes think that an “Uncle Tom” is anyone that doesn’t want the white man’s sloppy seconds, lol. Total lack of understanding of what is going on around them. What’s funny to me is that negroes like that will be the same ones with a stupid look on their face when what was obvious becomes apparent to all. Our people can’t even stop from killing each other, much less “coming together” with all races. You see all races “coming together” because they want the wickedness of America to continue so that they can have a place to fulfill their lusts. This is where women have the right to kill infants and men have the right to have sex with animals and each other. “Chains are broken” when they’re put on the people that put them on you (Psalms 149:6-9). Not when you can hold hands and sing with the same devils that have you in the perverted state of mind that you’re in (Prov 11:21).

  44. Wifey

    First of all..to the posters who are quoting scriptures( which is an awesome thing) I would also like to remind you that the Bible also states: Judge NOT less the be judged. I said that to say that indeed none of us are perfect and for sure the Bible does speak very firmly on the issue of homosexuality. However, it says nothing about you visiting a loved one who may or may not be a homosexual. I FIRMLY believe that it is wrong, but I don’t go around ramming my beliefs down people’s throats…as that is not Godly. I just equip them with the word of the Lord.

    Secondly the issue of abortion has come up as well. I truly believe that their IS actually a situation where the right to terminate a pregancy might be warranted. Such as RAPE. Can you honestly sit there and tell me that after being raped, you would go through a pregnancy? I think not. I do agree that women should make better choices when it comes to sex as it was intended for the state of marriage but let us not forget that every women our forefathers had sex with in the Old Testament WERE NOT married to them. That was of course a time when we were far less in value but nonetheless it happened.

    People..we do not have a heaven nor a hell to place anyone in so let’s not be so judgemental as that is the Lord’s place… NOT OURS!

  45. JUDAH

    @Daisy

    Do you think for yourself? You sure, lmao? You negroes are like the black Laurel and Hardy. I wish I could carry you guys around in my pocket so I could pull you out and laugh whenever necessary. I’m not sure if men normally get “in your ass”, but please don’t apply that phrase to me, lol. I don’t understand the last sentence in your first missive. Please reiterate in the Queen’s english sir. How is someone ignorant and know things that aren’t so? Please expound.

  46. sigh

    Awww..Judah has arrived, lol:) I’m glad to see that I’m not the only one who’s not emotional over this..as always your conspiracy theories are entertaining

  47. JUDAH

    @ Wifey

    Sis, this “Judge Not Lest Ye Be Judged” is an issue that needs to be dealt with because this is a portion of the Bible that is cited OUT OF CONTEXT ad nauseam. In Matt 7:1-5, Christ tells us that we cannot judge someone if we are doing the same things that they are doing. In other words; if you’re a crackhead, you cannot tell someone else to put the pipe down until you do. So-called Christians run to this misappropriation of the scripture to justify why they can go along with the doctrines of America and “love everybody and everything”. They don’t want to be afflicted and hated like Christ said we would be for standing up for the truth (Matt 5:11, Matt 10:22, Luke 6:22,23, John 15:18-20, etc.). You are supposed to love the hate. If people don’t like it, to hell with them. If I’m going off, I would hope that another man or women in the spirit would restore me if they see me going the hell off (Galatians 6:1,2). The scripture tells us that when we are SPIRITUAL (know and keep the laws of God to the best of our ability Romans 7:12), we can JUDGE ALL THINGS (I Cor 2:15, I Cor 6:2,3). This mentality of “not judging” is why the black community is in the condition that it’s in (Isaiah 59:15, Jeremiah 22:3).

  48. JUDAH

    @Sigh

    There is nothing to get emotional about sis. Nothing. These negroes are acting like we’ve gone back to using gold and silver as currency and have crackers serving us food, lol. I mean please.

  49. dukesman2000

    Judas, haha you are funny. You said “I wish I could carry you guys around in my pocket so I could pull you out and laugh whenever necessary.”…that was funny. I meant to say, “I am NOT saying you are ignorant but you know a lot about things that aren’t so.” I was being facetious but poor grammar can take the air out of a joke…I get that.

    Negro you constantly quote the bible as if it is some virtual force field that shields the garbage you spit. Your thought process is antiquated at best. Listen, religion is the biggest vehicle of separatism next to slavery. Religious fanatics have been killing and maiming under the banner of the cross and in the name of their god since the inception of time. We learned about the Spanish Inquisition and now it has evolved in the radical Islamic fascism of today. Me, on the other hand was christened a Catholic, attended catholic school practically all of my life. I stopped going to church at the age of 12 after one Sunday I asked the priest why the Catholic Church chose the cross as their symbol of worship, when the cross is nothing but the emblem of suffering and shame. He gave me some nuance ambiguous answer. So I asked him if Christ had died in an electric chair or a gas chamber would he had worn replicas of those around his neck too? I said to him, “You would probably look weird wouldn’t you? So I explained to him that the cross was just the method that was used to carry out capital punishment in those days, just as the needle, chair and gas chambers are modern day methods, so why make it sacred. Like every religious struck zombie, questioning any practices or beliefs is considered a cardinal sin. Obviously I was punished, I never went back and my mother never made me. See, brother that was my thought process at twelve. I do not know how old you are but you couldn’t even hold your own against a twelve year old me. What you need to do is think for yourself as opposed to just regurgitate what the ignoramuses of your little pillow biting cult tell you.

  52. OBAMA 08 .... UK, England

    I’m from the UK and i was up till seven in the morning watching this.I cant believe it.This is histroy, ’m asian,and it has nothing to do with race.But half a century ago,the people during slavery.

I consider Obama my rodel anyday over a football or singer because he is making a difference and a change has definately come…

    @Judah, your fear is speaking volumes..lol
    You have pulled the good ol’ bait and switch.
    First you said Obama would never be elected..well he has been.
    Now, you want to switch lanes and say that we are all fools for celebrating his win.
    First, lets deal with the fact that you were wrong. You will be wrong again.
    You are not the prophet you think you are. Your derranged narcissism is apparent.
    You don’t like being wrong, so instead of dealing with that, you want to pull the bait and switch and tell us you can see the future and that we will all have egg on our faces. Well bro, you are the only one in here with egg on your face. Mr. President is a black man and you said it couldn’t be done.. Try to digest that first before your internal “sayer of doom” starts down the destructive path or attempting to predict what will happen months or years from now…

    There is something seriously wrong with this site’s members. How is it that Beyonce’s articles get 600+ replies and something this historic is struggling for a tie? LMAO…Classic.
