“Rosa Parks sat so Martin Luther King could walk..Martin walked so Obama could run.. Obama is running so our children CAN FLY!” - Jay Z, November 3rd 2008

As that infamous text msg says: We may not have gotten our 40 acres and a mule, but we took 50 states and the white house…..nuff said.

The people have spoken. They have chosen a well spoken, good spirited, honest, hard working, African-American man for president. Obama is…

Thank God for this. I pray he is able to do all the things he promised us as American citizens. This is monumental. It has created hope deep within myself and many, many people around the world. And today I am proud and honored to say welcome President Barack Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama.

Thanks for voting for OBAMA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We made it happen. GOD made it happen.

THANK U JESUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I pray that Obama goes down in History as one of out Greatest President’s!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yal i am so happy and scared at the same time…
I don’t want anything to happen to Obama and his family..

I’m the only black person in my company and youngest and the only one who voted for Obama,, Everyone is giving me the could shoulder and a nasty look. I feel like they might kill me.. Can you Imagine being the only black person in a company with only white folks..?

Well I don’t give a flyin fuck..,, I’m black and proud i never thought id live to see this day and theres nothing they can do to take that away from me..

My people I thought I would never live to see this day.That day was extra special to me because my son turned 18 last year and this was his first time voting.He is just amazed right now at the outcome……our young generation has so much to look forward to and so much to be proud of.We have come a long way but we still have a long way to go….I hate to say it but when I saw Jessie Jackson crying I broke down and oprah also.This was historic…But my people please lets stop killing eachother and hating on eachother.We can truly say we represent the president of the United States Of America.Lets not make him look bad and give people something to talk about.Show your pride in him by making our communities better,our streets safer,our children smarter as well as ourselves..Change has come but we need to make sure the change is positive in our neighborhoods and our schools lets represent the president the way he represents us,with dignity,style and most of allwith respect for our fellow men,women and children and our communities…I thank you for taking the time to read this lets now take action!!!!GOD BLESS AMERICA AND OUR NEW PRESIDENT AND HIS FAMILY!!!!

@230…where do you work..at a software engineering firm? How the heck are you the only black person at your job…you must live in Iowa or some damn where..LOL.! You must live in one of those red states!!! Don’t be scared!

I want to also say that this is the first time in my life that I am patriotic. I have never been patriotic before..not even after 9/11–sorry..God Bless the USA!!!

To the 1st family, you are an inspiration and to Barack you are a true hope to America

What can I say that hasn’t already been said. This is a proud moment not only for Blacks, but the world. It’s amazing all the love, tears, support and pride from people who have never even seen a black person except on television rooting for a man they do not know all the way across the ocean. It’s amazing, leaves me breathless and messes with my head in a great way.

It’s not over though. We have 2 wars, high unemployment, an economy in shambles, record foreclosures, an awful health care system that needs to be reformed as well as education.

Black people, not like there ever was, there is no excuse for our behavior: boys walking around with their pants down to their knees showing their underware. It’s a prison look and not suited for school, work, play, whatever. Move past it, you’re better than that.

Ladies, the half naked women you see on videos are not who men want to take home and meet Mom. Michelle Obama is an accomplished woman in her own right being a lawyer with a Harvard Degree. This is who you should strive to emulate.

Stop being homophobic Black people. The Bible was used to discriminate against us and is now being used to discriminate against others. Remember, God didn’t have a problem with slavery, BUT I DO. Marriage is a civil right and this country was not founded on Christian principles (separation of church and state). Native Americans were not Christians. They were slaughtered by so called Christians just like we were lynched, raped, tortured, murdered and considered less than human by these same Christian principles. Slaves were not Christians either. It was beat into them to keep them in line and justify their bondage.

Regardless of your religion, Jesus Christ never spoke about homosexuality. It was Paul and if memory serves me correctly Paul has some other interesting things to say like having sex with your wife on her period, marriage and divorce. Stop picking and choosing to support your narrow mindedness.

That’s enough preaching.

It’s feels good to be a believer in my government, the ideals of American democracy and to be Black.

OBAMA/BIDEN 2008-2016

My President is Black!

I am so happy Obama won! This was my first time voting, and I am so proud. History has been made so many times from this election. After he won my home state, VA, it was a wrap!

BARACK 4 LIFE!

We did it!!

yesturday was the best day of my life!!! i witnessed history….i love everyone out there who went out and made your vote count…i was in tears last night…it happened so fast,we were counting down until the last states closed their pollings thinking we still had a while to know who the president would be…we got to 1 and BAM!!! there it was “Obama elected as president” i broke down,i was in shock!! i love it…all races were hugging and crying and jumping…my and my aunte made it in the newspaper,our picture was in there and we were crying and celebrating…it was beautiful

now i must go on to one thing we gotta keep this man in our prayers….he is a marked man whether you want to believe it or not…although we are surrounded by joy…you have to realize not everyone felt how we felt last night,there is anger out there,ask God to put his protection all over obama…and some of you will do anything to steal a persons joy today with your nonsense about his race and blah blah blah…people dont let that stop you from people proud of yourselves…we did it and i cannot tell you how proud i am!!

230 the lady who works at a dermatologist company in my area is black and the only one suporting obama. Them old rich white folks can’t say anything now.

My eyes are puffy and my voice is gone, I was so full and emotional last night. I couldn’t get anything done for watching the news all day and all night. I wanted to hear and see it all. I am so happy and Thankful that I AM here to see this day. I am so much more hopeful about the future. I am raising 2 sons that I now know can really be proud to grow up and be a BLACK MAN in this country. I know that not everything will change but yesterday I SAW CHANGE AND FOR THAT I AM CHANGED! YES WE CAN, YES WE DID! I LOVE ALL OF YOU RIGHT NOW!

YES WE CAN

We did it! Now is the time for EVERY black person to carry themselves with dignity and pride… and get rid of all the stereotypes!!

Rosa sat so Martin could walk. Martin walked so Obama can run. Obama ran so our children can fly!!

I hope “WE” will also do our part improving the conditions of our relationship with each other, building our communities, spiritually strengthining, supporting and helping one another and putting differences aside and not resort to violence and destruction any longer. Obama cannot do this alone, he needs us all to bring this country together!!!!

WOO-HOO WE DID IT!!!…… AND WE DID IT WITH CLASS AND PRIDE!!!!

WE STILL GOT ALOT OF WORK TO DO BUT LET’S KEEP THIS GOING AND EVERYBODY DO THE RIGHT THING!

FOR THE FIRST TIME I AM SO PROUD OF MY COUNTRY AND PROUD TO BE AN AFRICAN AMERICAN!!!

#230 This is what I was saying earlier.When u walk the halss at your job.Hold your head up u have alot to be proud of.Dont say anything to them just be your normal self and do your work like you normally do.I guess people now think that african americans now have this chip on their shoulders.I am the only black person in the psace that I work in not the whole establishment though.But when I came in this morning no one could spoil my joy I just went on about my work as usual even joked around a bit with some of the staff (not about the election) but my people you have to realize we are going to be tried just to give people something to talk about.Hold your head up high and just do your job…

NOT TRYING TO SPREAD HATE, BUT I AM SO GLAD BARACK WON. I POURED SOME BARCADI AND CRIED. JOHN MCZOMBIE AND SARAH FAILIN’ I AM SO GLAD YOU GUYS LOST. YOU LACKED THE UNITY, LEADERSHIP, AND INTEGRITY NEEDED TO WIN THE ELECTION. RACISM DON’T HELP EITHER. GOD, PLEASE KEEP BARCK OBAMA AND HIS FAMILY SAFE

Hi(S)tory is history

Obama - YES HE CAN

Barack Obama, excuse me, President Barack Obama is definitely an inspiration. I am blessed to see this day. Something that was said to be impossible has marked this day as history. Our first black President. YES WE CAN!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have no preference for colour, to be on the safe side i better go for M/L OR L. Does not matter if it’s too big. Thank you in advance.

It is a great day for me and my children! I have been telling my children that nothing is impossible if you work hard and it’s great to see someone that they can identify with that has made a mark in history and also someone that knows of my struggle and theirs.

In turn i hope that this day makes a difference to the people of the UK especially the children. So that they make better choices and realise that we can make other choices in life and still be successful outside of music.

This is not just a day for black people all over the world, but for all of us as people to seek change, fairness and equality.

I wish i was there to witness it. They should make this a public holiday in future for you people over there for all your hard work and to mark a momentus day in history. If Martin Luther King was alive now.

WELL DONE AMERICA.

From UK with love

and special thanks to GOD and Christ, and Oprah Winfrey!

#232 i live in the big apple New York City. I work in the empire state building on 34 street. yes im the only black person in my company…

President Obama to you Mr J. Dakar. Sir, your post lacks the pride, joy, and excitement shared by so many Americans and those other sites. BLAH

I am so happy! He got most of the Latino vote. Black and Latino working together!

I am VERY proud right now. I also cried like a baby during Obama’s speech, and said a prayer for him, and his family.

Let me say this to the militant blacks that STILL have hatred and disgust for this man. You people, along with those redneck racists, need to join together, and move to your own country. NOTHING will EVER satisfy you.

I feel so blessed, this was my first time voting, but I have experienced history twice in my life time and i am only 19. My birthday is Nov. 4, that year and date that i was born Mayor Dinkins was the first black Mayor and now yesterday Nov 4, 2008 the first black President

@230, you keep your head up high, i worked for a company here in ny where i was they only black, I’m sure they talked about me behind my back, i did not let that stop me, i had a plan, i ventured out on my own and started my own, and those same tired people are still there - stagnent.
“Hope is not just … looking out the window and going, ‘Everything looks pretty good.’ That’s what optimism is. Hope is when you look out the window and you go, ‘It doesn’t look good at all, but I’m going to go beyond what I see to give people visions of what could be.’”
I’m so very happy for the Obamas and USA

Thank God Americans did the right thing, the whole world was rooting for Obama.

Yes We Can! Obama! Thank God and Thank you Dr. King and all our leaders and ancestors who fought and gave their lives to afford us this great historic event!

@230, keep ya head up, them folks are green with envy that history was made. Follow Obama’s example, and dont pay heed to what those bitter, living in the past bigots think.

The world has woken up to A NEW DAY. Barriers have been broken down, a new generation can now grow.

OBAMA/BIDEN

Yes We Did!!

SHORT OF WORDS. White folks have come a long way. To know we are worth more than American idol votes. Black folks stand up!!

CONGRATULATIONS Mr.Obama!!! This is a great feat,not only for African Americans but black people across the globe..I am South African but I also feel pride,I congratulate you USA a black man is frggin president of America! Never did I think I’d see this day!!

May God be with you to guide you through your journey sir!

I’m still kinda speechless about it. I can’t believe that I witnessed this history!

Im sooo Proud!

I am so proud to be an American! The world celebrated this well needed victory with us! Now I know I am going to be attacked for saying this but he is our 1st Bi-Racial President. I believe that this is what of all races brought us together to confide in Barrack is people of all races could see themselves as him. Proud to be who you are! Its god given! I am proud to be Bi-Racial!

THANK U AMERICA FOR PUTTING THE RITE MAN IN OFFICE!!! OBAMA GOT MY VOTE! CONGRATS TO HIM AND GOD BLESS!

I am a college student and I voted for the first time yesterday. I am so amazed that I helped to elect OUR new president BARACK OBAMA. Oh my God…Can you believe it? He WON! By a landslide at that! Wow. I’m so happy! I wish him much success with running this country.

Yes we can !

President OBAMA!!! Never in my life have I’ve been more proud to be an American. I’m in such a state of happiness right now. Words can’t even describe my joy of this wonderful outcome. Congrats to our new president and congrats to the ppl that voted. We made history. We are in this together and I wish our new president the best of luck. I am filled with so much hope, joy, and happiness right now.

Obama HELLA beat McCain. 338 electoral votes? WOW!!! We did it guys! We did it!! I will remember this moment for the rest of my life.

making history baby!
we did it!!

Obama has made history. With the help of the black community, as well as other minorities. So how is that Prop 8–which is a ban on homosexual marriages–was supported by blacks & latinos? This just seems like hyprocrisy @ its finest.

Black people will fight for the rights of our equality but not the equality of homosexuals?

Injustice & discrimantion are terms that blacks (as well as latinos) are very familar with, so why—WHY–would they attempt to enforce such discrimination on others?

SMDH

AND he grabbed all the crucial swing states at that. I cannot believe he won by such a margin.

What a day to be black AND American.

feeling SO SO blessed & inspired !!!!
-OBAMA’08

LOL yeh #10 exactily but I really do hope they keep him safe, he is such a great guy!

Hi folks, yeah I’m an American living in Amsterdam, Netherlands, and I left American when Ronalid Reagon was in office. I just knew sh!t would ‘hit the fan’ when he came in, and with a bit of exception with Bill Clinton, I was wondering what the hell was America doing! But hell yeah today! Obama ‘08! bBcause history has been made brilliantly redefined, and it might be time for me to come home now and make myself useful back home. There’s alot to be done.

Don’t forget the next 3 months are crucial. That fool Bush has 3 more months before he really is out of office. Let’s hope he doesn’t do anything further that requires damage control.

Go America! My president is a black man with a rainbow heart. Congradulations brother!

OBAMA ‘08-2012 Lets get it!!!!!!!

CONGRATS OBAMA FAMILY!!!!!!!!!

Soo proud that we have a family of BLACK role models and in my opinion the most beautiful family in the White House in America’s 232 years of existence!

WE SAID WE COULD…AND WE DID!!!!

I’m not the only black person at my job but it’s only like a handfull of us. I rocked my Obama shirt to work today and didn’t think twice about it!

I knew Obama wouldn’t win my state (Texas), but I am so proud of all the Florida, Ohio, & Virginia voters!!

Yes We Did!!

That is what I like to see CL free from the Uncle Toms and racist white people’s comments. Just Black People basking in the glory of this tremendous feat.

Black People all I can say is We Did It. Black People all across this country are feeling a sense of accomplishment, and today, we are walking a little more upright, our heads held a little higher – proud as shit. We are like proud parents who just watched our son make it to the big times. Don’t let these pundits try to discredit our collective effort as a race, as people, to stand under one of our own and lift him to the highest office in the land – The 44th President of the United States of America.

only one thing to say

obama is half white! why do ppl including him keep on rejecting that part of him. He isn’t the first BLACK president but BIRACIAL president. But it doesn’t matter anyway history has been achieved in spite of the skin tone which has made the impossible possible.

HELL YEAH OBAMA!!! FIRST BLACK PRESIDENT REPRESENT FOR ALL!!!!!!!!!!!!I’M SO SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO EXCITED!! CONGRATULATIONS, MICHELLE AND JOE BIDEN, AND THE WHOLE FAMILY!! CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!OBAMA OBAMA OBAMA OBAMA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Today is my mom’s birthday.
She turned 60 today.

She said she never thought she’d see the day that a black person would become president and I am so happy not only for younger people but for the older generations that have lived through the ugliness of Americas history when it came to segregation and prejudiceness. This is truely a victory for all of those people that march with MLK and supported Malcom X and all of our black acncestors that fought so hard for hundreds of years to become equal and to have a say in this country! Please HONOR them today-let’s ALL change for the better:

No more hating on each other or judging each other.
No more black on black crime
No more drugs
No more AIDS
No more baby mommas and daddies

What has happened today has resonated around the world and Obama has not only become our first black President he has become a symbol of hope for everyone. I’m literally about to cry I’m so elated right now!!!!

TO #276 SWEETIE HE IS BLACK GET YOUR MIND RIGHT HERE!!! DONT HATE!!!HE MAY HAVE WHITE IN HIM BUT HE ALSO HAVE BLACK IN HIM, SO THAT MAKES HIM BLACK BOO!!!!!

i love obama ♥

Let me start off by saying that i was not a Barack Obama supporter in the beginning (I was all for Hillary, and i still am; she’s just an amazing woman/politician), but in the end I support Obama!

This makes me so proud to be an African-American, because God knows we have surely come a very long way! This is something we will be able to tell our children’s children, and they will be able to tell their children…It really does bring a tear to my eye, I am just so PROUD of my people!

Just to think it was not too long ago when we were unable to cast our vote…..Look what God can do! (sheds tear as i type)

AM I WRONG FOR BEING UPSET???
………On my lunch break, i was in the lounge, and of course we were talking about the elecetion. I was saying how proud I was and how i started crying last night. And as I am telling the story, I started to tear up again. So in comes this older black teacher, wearing a Mccain/Palin key chain around his neck(perhaps my first sign that i needed to leave). He asked me what was wrong, and I started tellin him how proud i was of OBAMA. He starts mouthing off about how I only voted for Obama because he was black, and how I was too young to understand the political issues at stake.

I got sooooooooooooooooo pissed off. So to keep from losing my job, I walked out the teacher’s lounge and came to my classroom. But all I can think about is this:
…..REGARDLESS OF YOUR POLITICAL AFFILIATION OR POLITICAL VIEWS, AS AN AFRICAN AMERICAN YOU OUGHT TO BE PROUD THAT THIS MAN HAS OVERCOME SO MANY OBSTACLES AND HAS CREATED HISTORY. HE WAS ALL OVER THE MEDIA, AND NOT FOR KILLING, OR SHOOTING A BALL IN A HOOP, OR SCORING A TOUCHDOWN, OR SELLING A MILLION ALBUMS…..HE WILL BE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES….THE HIGHEST OFFICE…..I CAN’T EVEN SIT STILL, I CAN’T SLEEP, I AM JUST TOOOOOOOOOO EXCITED AND SOOOOOO PROUD!!

Am I crazy for thinking that ALL BLACK people should have a reason to rejoice??? Oh, well, I just needed to vent.

#@ 32 Millon

Thanks for the kind words! And, Yes We Can and We Did! Peace and Love to All!

This was a remarkable experience for me. My 9 year old daughter told me she wants to be President now, but just a few months ago she aske me “why are there so many white people on television and not that many black people?” I am so proud at this moment. That speech made me cry like a BABY!!

COULDNT GET 40 ACRES AND A MULE NOW WE GOT 50 STATES AND THE WHITE HOUSE!

Thank you ! thank you ! thank you !

on behalf of my children, myself, my husband, all black people around the world, all mixed children, all middle-class families, all minorities, all women

thank you america for doing the right thing

your black haitian/canadian/quebecoise/friend

I feel like i can be anything and do anything. I am so proud!

happiest moment of my life!

LETS SEE THEM ERASE THIS FROM HISTORY!!

I AM SO GLAD ITS OVER AND I AM SO PROUD TO HAVE BARACK AS MY PRESIDENT. FROM THE OUTHOUSE TO THE WHITEHOUSE! ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE!

This was just AWESOME!! I’m elated, estactic and down right PROUD! I’m glad that my child and I are here to see this history. Now that the easiest task has been accomplished. On to the hard stuff of turing this country around. I’m sure President Obama will get us back on track!

*singing* Tear the roof of this mutah, Tear the roof of this mutah, painting the “White House, BLACK”

WOW THIS IS WHAT UNITED STATES ARE ABOUT!!!! He said that best!

I CANT LIE. I TEARED UP WATCING THE ACCEPTANCE SPEECH, AND I JUST LOOKED DOWN AT MY SON AND TOLD HIM HE CAN DO WHATEVER HE WANTS. WE ALL HAVE THE POTENTIAL TO BE GREAT NO MATTER OUR SITUATION. IT’S 1 THING TO HEAR YOU CAN BE ANYTHING YOU WANT TO BE, BUT TO ACTUALLY SEE IT IS ANNOTHER. IT SORT OF ADDS VALIDITY TO THE STATEMENT U KNOW? BEING AN ENTERTAINER OR AN ATHLETE IS NOT THE ONLY WAY OUT ( NOT THAT THERE IS ANYTHING WRONG WITH THAT). AND TO SINGLE MOMS LIKE MYSELF, OUR CHILDREN HAVE ANOTHER POSITIVE MALE ROLE MODEL THEY CAN WATCH AND ASPIRE TO BE LIKE, BECAUSE HE’S SO MUCH LIKE THEM. ITS A LONG ROAD AHEAD, AND ITS A TOUGH 1 THIS IS JUST THE SEED WE NEEDED FOR A NEW PROSPEROUS SOCIETY OF ALL WALKS OF LIFE TO GROW. OBAMA LETS GET IT DONE!

I’m getting the cold shoulder at work, too. Guess what??? I don’t give a SH*T!!!

Obama/Biden 2008

thats wuts up
i amm extremely happppy OBAMA WONNNNNNNNN:)
finally a black president

I can’t believe WE fcuking did it!!!

Obama!!!!

Ah-MAzing!!!

As a freshman in HS 9/11 occured, as a freshman in college Katrina descdned upon us….and now I’m a senior in college, voted in my first presidential election, about to turn 20 in less than a month and BARACK OBAMA is MY PRESIDENT!

Last night, today, I am just overwhelmed with emotions. I’m sitting in my private equity class now (I know I should be paying attention lol) and I am looking at pics from masses of people cheering and crying tears of joy not only across the nation, but in Asia, Europe, Africa, etc… I’m just titillated with excitement.

Last night when CNN projected his victory, not only did the black students here at Cornell watching celebrate, but the white students, indian/middle eastern, asian, latina, etc… ALL celebrated. T’was crazy lol

Obama truly did capture the altruistic spirit of this nation’s citizens and truly made us a more UNITED STATES of AMERICA!

and I’m sure he’ll overcome all challenges he’s sure to encounter with grace and prove to have a successful and historical term!

signed,

a very happy nineteen year old who played her part in making history

YES WE DID!

I am so proud of President elect Obama and his family. Michelle radiates strength, I could feel her through the TV! Now the nation needs to pray for thier safety.

On another note..this morning my 11 year old daughter received a text from one of her class mates that stated “Obama has won so tomorrow we will all wear black to grieve the death of America” My daughter was very upset but I have taught her not to respond to ignorance. She said that she was going to tell the young lady off when she got to school but again I have cautioned her about giving things like that energy. In the end she understood where I was coming.

I said all of that to say…Please pray for the soon to be first family.
God Bless them and all of you too!

Obama is Kenyan, not Black….None of us are black to be quite frank…
