Wednesday, November 5, 2008

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.

In case you missed it, check out President-Elect Obama’s acceptance speech.

OMG, I’m still in shock right now. I mean I just saw history last night. It was exciting and crazy at the same time. A Black family is just months from occupying the WHITE HOUSE!!!! OMG our ancestors would be so proud.

But like I tell ppl yes it’s a good thing for blacks but ALL of America had to come through and make this happen. Black, Latino, White, Asian everybody and we did it ya’ll.

It truly was a heart-wrenching election and I am so proud that in the end he was the last man standing. It was a well-deserved win for African Americans and Americans alike. Last night was history is the making….PRESIDENT 0BAMA: a change for the ppl…a change for the better…a change for the greater G00D.

YES WE DID! YES WE DID!

I cannot speak for everyone, but for me this election was about so much more than race. This election for me was about all Americans standing together and proclaiming that ‘politics as usual’ in Washington must end. My support to the Obama/Biden Administration as they inherit this mess.

To the Republicans, you have a lot of work to do. As you have seen, in order to win moving forward you MUST expand your base and reach all people. That is, if you are capable of doing so; I doubt it.

God Bless America!!!!

This is probably the happiest day of my life. For once, I feel like my vote actually counted and I know Obama will prove himself during his term. I am glad that the racist pigs did not succeed (although I reside in racist GA) I know that there is still HOPE for the pursuit of happiness. God Bless America

Words can’t even describe the way it felt to be part of history last night. To feel his presence and hear his words echo among thousands of people will be something that I will hold with me for the rest of my life. I am so excited for Obama and for CHANGE!

As soon as he won Florida (my hometown) I was jumping around the house with my twin nieces screaming OBAMA, OBAMA!!!
This is the first time that I actually sat there and watched him speak.. Everytime I would see him he would reminded me so much of my father. My father and him resemble each other so much. My father passed away in 2005 and I know if he was here right now he would have been excited to see the FIRST BLACK PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES.

PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA 08!!!!!!!

I was on the phone with my daughter who is a student at the University of Florida as soon as it was announced. She said “Daddy, everybody’s going outside, I gotta go!” That’s when it got emotional for me. This was the scene at many colleges around the US. Just to picture all theses young Black Students celebrating together all at once was overwhelming. Today is my Birthday but I keep forgetting because there is a bigger cause for celebration!

This victory means so much on so many levels. For the first time all of the marginalized people in this country–all of us who always felt like we didn’t matter, like we didn’t count—for the first time we feel included. Not only that, Obama was not elected just because he was African-American–he was elected because the majority of people in this country respect his principles, his integrity…HIM. They looked past color and saw a man. For once I can actually say that I’m proud to be an American.

Absolutely AMAZING! I kinda wish I was still in college now so I could go in the lobby and outside to celebrate!!

When I watched the speech the first time, I was so excited. I saw pieces of it again on TV this morning and I actually cried the second time. This may very well be the best day of some of our lives.

I hope that we will be dignified and gracious. Obama has a lot ahead of him and we need to just support him and represent black people well. People, words can not really describe this occasion or this feeling!!!

This is a moment that i will remember. I will make sure that my children understand and know what took place ……the truth. I am an american citizen but i was not born in america. Some natural americans don’t realize how this election has impacted the world.

What an honor it is to have such a gracious and humble individual as the next president of this country. Indeed it is a remarkable advancement for blacks ecerywhere but lets not forget that it just wasn’t ‘us’ that made this happen, but latino’s and white americans, who by the way, contributed more votes than any group, and the various of other ethnicities who supported this cause. What truly struck me is all of the other nations such as italy, kenya, indonesia, and even pakistan, have already embraced barack. Furthermore, I m so elated that my grandfather, who lived through the civil rights movement, is here to see history made. This is such a glorious time and words truly cannot express what this means to me, and im sure, all of you.

This is the manifestation of TRUE freedom…freedom we can breathe, freedom we can touch, freedom we can LIVE…”let freedom ring.”

An amazing day in WORLD history, and African Americans at the center of it. Who would have seen this coming? This was Barack Obama’s time…this was his destiny, and our destiny.

Never once have a seen a strong black man in a leadership role fail his people and not encourage them…Martin led us and suceeded…Malcolm led us and also suceeded…W.E.B. Dubois educated us and suceeded…now Obama leads us and we will succeed as well.

My condolensces go out to Obama’s family surrounding his grandmama’s untimely death. I beleive she is rejoicing with all of us and praying for him to stay on the right path.

God be with Barack Obama, and let us now change the World!

It goes to show that voting does count there were a lot of split states. It also shows that when it comes to issues and what really concerns people, color doesn’t matter. I remembered one of the state either Iowa or Ohio (a midwestern state), I can’t remember which one last night, they had the percentages of the population breakdown; 91% whites, 3% hispanics, 2% for blacks and Asian, and 1% other. Prez BHO won that state.

Awesome stuff!!!

YESSSSSS WEEEEE CAAANNNNNN!!!

Does anyone else feel like it is a WRAP FOR FOX NEWS?

The headline on Fox says “Facing a Steep Climb’ while the headline on CNN says “Change has Come”. I am done with Fox, and I believe we all need to boycott them. They were NEVER posittive about Obama. As soon as he won, they started “making it clear” that he did NOT win the White vote (had something like 43%). I cannot STAND THEM! Mostly because, like Barrack said, HE IS THERE PRESIDENT TOO AND WE NEED THEIR SUPPORT!

However, I will not let that ruin today. History has been made, and change has began.

LETS ALL DO OUR PART AND MAKE THIS HAPPEN!

WOOO!

OBAMA O8 BABY!!!
YES!

I am really glad that Obama won, and I am happy that it occurred in my lifetime (as well as my father’s and mother’s). I just hope that people realize that he has alot of work ahead of him since the last eight years has set this country back. He will be under alot of pressure and scrutiny, but I am sure that he will be able to turn it around. Obama has alot of work cut out for him, and I hope that people give him the patience and room that he needs to succeed.

OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This is so surreal! For once we ALL (well majority) came together. This has made history on some many levels…..

1) For once, black people came together in RECORD numbers to accomplish one goal. Usually we have so much division among our own race that we can’t get anything done.

2) Obama is the first black president.

3) Whites, and other races banded together with us.

4) Other countries are just as proud and excited about this change!

Don’t think for once second this was not a collective effort; I love how Obama gives us all credit for this moment in history. It just shows what we could have done all along.

All day i’ve been noticing black men with more pep in their step….i think the fact that Obama is the first black male president will raise the confidence and self esteem of so many black men….hopefully he will be the standard of which our young males (and old ones for that matter, and ones with families) aspire to be instead of only rappers and athletes (and womanizers). And we all know when black men feel better about themselves, then they will treat their women better, and have more respect for us.

Gotta go know, i have to bask in this for a moment.

I agree that this was so much more than race people are ready for change. This country has been in a horrible state in the last eight years. McCain just didn’t have the plan to uplift america, just the rich.

This is now truly the UNITED States….. This is big for all nations and all people of all ethinicities. This is what change is all about!

OMG-I saw this last night and I just burst into tears and cried like a baby, it was the best feeling in the world. Now I feel like something’s finally going right, now I can see hope for all of the middle class families that have had to struggle just to put food on the table and do without just to survive.

I was born and raised here in AZ and after watching J Mcain’s concession speech I have to say that I could sympathize with him and his family, because he was really gracious and kind and the fact that he touched on the all the wrongs done to black ppl really touched me. But man I’m so HAPPY that the Obama’s are going to the white house!!

Love Yall-xoxo Thicky

Great to see that everyone came together and let their voices be heard. Of course there are going to be some haters in the midst , but not even they can take away what this moment means to each and everyone of us. This is a moment that I can’t wait to ready about in the History books.

129.

What you know about that

Wednesday, November 5, 2008 /

I can’t stop crying!!!! My parents are from Africa so they passed down a traditional name to me. I was teased in school to no end because of it. And being a dark skinned woman growing up in the south didn’t help the matter. But I look at Obama…a man with this funny name…a man with an African father and a white mother….a man who married a smart and gorgeous black woman….A man who seeks to change the world…and I get goose bumps because he overcame the ultimate plight to get where he is. When everyone else thought no…he said yes. He never doubted his chances and he never doubted people would embrace him regardless of the color of his skin, etc.

NOW I UNDERSTAND WHY WE HAD TO GO THROUGH 8 YEARS OF TORTURE. IT IS SO THIS MOMENT WOULD BE POSSIBLE! GOD IS GOOD!

We are ready for a change, it’s time. I know that Obama won’t be able to fix everything overnight, but he will lay the foundation to lead us to better and stronger times. I am so encouraged to see this Black man overcome all the naysayers to accomplish his goal. I am so happy to see a Black family in the White House. It warms my heart to see the love between Barack and Michelle, and the love that they have for their children. This is a great time, and this encourages me to never give up on my dreams and my goals. YES WE DID!

I’m so proud, excited, overjoyed, and many other emotions that are swirling around inside me. History has been made and I’m apart of it to live it, feel it, and see it with my own two eyes. Barack truly did overcome. He won states that are traditional red states, such as my home state Indiana. It looked as though it would stay red, but finally at 2:30 this morning all his campaigning paid off cause now we are a blue state! Florida, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Virginina, and possibly North Carolina are all true blue. He took this seriously and was very calculated and methodical in what he did actually thinking about the people. McCain on the other hand took the GOP for granted and selected Palin as his running mate and that was his demise. Not to mention that he had his ugly face on in the end because he didn’t have a leg to stand on because Barack represents all the average people of this country whether black, white, purple, or brown. It’s not about me, my, and mine, but us, and ours. This is just the begining. Our children can be anything they want to be. Thanks Barack! May you and your family and everyone around you be coverd by God.

I was partying like a BARACK STAR last night!

i get chills re-listening to his speech - man i had tears last night! that is getting printed off & put on my wall!
forty years ago, black men had dogs set on them…couldn’t even vote, and now, today- a black man is the President of the US - the leader of the free world!!! We have no excuse, no more ‘it’s the white man who keeps me down, it’s a conspiracy’ HELL NO!
Black men you can do anything, WE can do anything.
I tear up for those from the civil right generations - look at what they did for us, did they ever think we’d get this far?? The sight of Jesse Jackson crying, who was at MLK’s side when he got assasinated got me bawling!
This is amazing, i’m a 21 year black girl from london and damnit, YES WE CAN!!!!!!!!!

Shabach Hallelujah!
Barack, Praise the Lord !!!

SHABACH

Definition: Shabach means, “to address in a loud tone, to commend, to triumph, to exclaim, glory, shout.”

BARAK

Definition: Barak means, “to kneel down, to bless God as an act of adoration.” When used in the scripture it implies, “expecting to receive a blessing from the Lord.”

I was hooked on the BBC last night from 11pm (london time) till bout 6 this morning - when he got California…i screamed the house down and chills went through my body, my hands were shaking. Me and my sister we’re on the phone crying together

We got a black family in the white house y’all!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Black lil boys & girls - look who u have to look up at, A PRESIDENT! i wish i had a lil boy right now just to say
“baby, look - see that man? that man is the President of the US, and you my child, you can do anything you set your mind to do”

Sidenote: i now have increased respect for McCain, his speech too was incredibly gracious and i believe heartfelt.
Sidenote 2: I loved ALL of Obama’s speech, but the way he talked about Michelle? that’s love

2PAC CHANGES … CHANGE IS NOW OBAMA IS OUR PRESIDENT!

Come on come on
I see no changes. Wake up in the morning and I ask myself,
“Is life worth living? Should I blast myself?”
I’m tired of bein’ poor and even worse I’m black.
My stomach hurts, so I’m lookin’ for a purse to snatch.
Cops give a damn about a negro? Pull the trigger, kill a nigga, he’s a hero.
Give the crack to the kids who the hell cares? One less hungry mouth on the welfare.
First ship ‘em dope & let ‘em deal the brothers.
Give ‘em guns, step back, and watch ‘em kill each other.
“It’s time to fight back”, that’s what Huey said.
2 shots in the dark now Huey’s dead.
I got love for my brother, but we can never go nowhere
unless we share with each other. We gotta start makin’ changes.
Learn to see me as a brother ’stead of 2 distant strangers.
And that’s how it’s supposed to be.
How can the Devil take a brother if he’s close to me?
I’d love to go back to when we played as kids,
but things change, and that’s the way it is.

[Bridge w/ changing ad libs]

(Come on, come on) That’s just the way it is. Things’ll never be the same.
That’s just the way it is. aww yeah…
[Repeat]

I see no changes. All I see is racist faces.
Misplaced hate makes disgrace for races we under.
I wonder what it takes to make this one better place…
let’s erase the wasted.
Take the evil out the people, they’ll be acting right.
‘Cause mo’ black than white is smokin’ crack tonight.
And only time we chill is when we kill each other.
It takes skill to be real, time to heal each other.
And although it seems heaven sent,
we ain’t ready to see a black President, uhh.
It ain’t a secret don’t conceal the fact…
the penitentiary’s packed, and it’s filled with blacks.
But some things will never change.
Try to show another way, but they stayin’ in the dope game.
Now tell me what’s a mother to do?
Bein’ real don’t appeal to the brother in you.
You gotta operate the easy way.
“I made a G today” But you made it in a sleazy way.
Sellin’ crack to the kids. “I gotta get paid,”
Well hey, well that’s the way it is.

[Bridge]
[Talking:]

We gotta make a change…
It’s time for us as a people to start makin’ some changes.
Let’s change the way we eat, let’s change the way we live
and let’s change the way we treat each other.
You see the old way wasn’t working so it’s on us to do
what we gotta do, to survive.

And still I see no changes. Can’t a brother get a little peace?
There’s war on the streets & the war in the Middle East.
Instead of war on poverty,
they got a war on drugs so the police can bother me.
And I ain’t never did a crime I ain’t have to do.
But now I’m back with the facts givin’ ‘em back to you.
Don’t let ‘em jack you up, back you up, crack you up and pimp smack you up.
You gotta learn to hold ya own.
They get jealous when they see ya with ya mobile phone.
But tell the cops they can’t touch this.
I don’t trust this, when they try to rush I bust this.
That’s the sound of my tune. You say it ain’t cool, but mama didn’t raise no fool.
And as long as I stay black, I gotta stay strapped & I never get to lay back.
‘Cause I always got to worry ’bout the pay backs.
Some buck that I roughed up way back… comin’ back after all these years.
Rat-a-tat-tat-tat-tat. That’s the way it is. uhh

[Bridge 'til fade]
Some things never change.

Wednesday, November 5, 2008 /

I am speechless. But how can I let this thread pass without my saying anything?
I am completely in awe of what happened last night. I gam not suprised that Obama won. I knew that I would see a black president someday. What I was suprised at was the amount of people celebrating in the streets. Last night, I went down to the White House (I live in DC) and danced in the streets for hours. I was not alone. People of all shapes and colors were there, white, black, muslim, asian, everyone. THAT is what suprised me. And I am so moved to know that a Black man, a man who looks just like my father and brother, has inspired a people so much that we celebrate in the streets. DC has never seen so much exitement and today, I am glad that I was a part of it all.

I LOVE YOU OBAMA!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I AM SO DISSPOINTED IN MY HOME STATE OF ARIZONA, THEY MADE US LOOK LIKE A BUNCH OF HICKS. ANYONE COULD SEE WITH EVERY MCAIN SPEECH THE MAJORITY WAS 98% WHITE, AND OBAMA ALWAYS HAS A DIVERSE GROUP, I KNEW FROM DAY ONE MCAIN NEVER SPOKE FOR US, AND NEVER COULD OR WOULD REPRESENT THIS COUNTRY CORRECTLY. I AM HAPPY THAT MY VOTE COUNTED, AND WE HAVE A MAN WHO IS READY TO BRING CHANGE.

SAD MY MOTHER AND FATHER COULD NOT BE HERE TO SEE THIS WITH ME, AND MY SONS

I am so happy for Americans and the rest of the world. Let’s not forget that Obama has been supported not only by black people in the USA and all around the world, but also by whites (I’m white, from a very small country somewhere…), Asians, and many others who were united by the notions of change, hope, strength and love - yes, I did say - LOVE. Dr. King’s dream is happening. Damn, this is so breathtaking moment.

And seeing all of you Americans (no matter what race, color, cultural background) united in the USA around one man full of dreams and hopes is so beautiful thing to watch from here. Finally, let the world see that this is POSSIBLE.

I must also say that I like the speech given by McCain when he congratulated Obama. That was also a sign of change and respect for a man.

Congrats to ALL OF YOU for letting this dream come true!!

(And sorry for my English;p)

I was so sick of hearing “vote black” this man is intelligent eliminating his name and replacing it with a colour is a diss. This man will change America for white,black,chinese,indian, everyone! The world is moving forward with the new President and so should everyone else. It’s more than a race issue guys. This is just amazing what a whole country can do when they really want something. One thing I can say about race is that this definately is a historical event. A black man running the country! Big things a gwan!

This truly the most amazing thing I have ever witnessed in my life time. I know believe that I can achieve anything I want in this world.

I am most definitely going to be there on the 20th of January, 2009 to see the first black man sworn in to be the president of USA.

I’m not an American, but I feel very proud to be a black woman today, I’m happy for United States and I’m happy for all black people. Barack Obama is a tower of strength and I wish him well. I hope that all Americans, blacks, whites, Asians and Indians will support him all the way.

I am so excited to have witnessed this moment!! I cried last night for the future and for the impact this has and will make on my young son’s life. I cried because I am so excited to see a strong woman by his side. I cried because my grandparents were able to witness what they never ever believed was possible. I cried because the future is SOOO bright and Americans have said loud and clear, we are ready for EXCELLENCE. I cried because my 30th birthday is January 10th and there is no better way to celebrate other than in DC on the 20th, I can’t wait!!!!!!

Additionally, I pray we keep in mind that President Obama is the Leader of the country…not just African Americans. Furthermore, we must be patient and know that change takes time and have faith that he will lead us well.

IM SO PROUD SO FULL OF JOY, AND AT THE SAME TIME NERVOUS FOR OUR NEW LEADER. I WILL PRAY THAT ALL GOES WELL, WHEN I LOST ALL HOPE IN AMERICA AND NEVER THOUGHT FOR ONE MIN. I WOULD EVER SEE SUCH A MOVEMENT, A GRACIOUS THAT MY SON WAS ABLE TO SEE SUCH AN ACCOMPLISHMENT. NOT BECAUSE OBAMA IS BLACK BUT BECAUSE HIS DETERMINATION AND DEDICATION TOOK HIM BEYOND THE FEAR(THE FEAR I KNOW HE AND HIS FAMILY HAD) TO NEVER GIVE UP. AND TO BELIEVE IN HIMSELF AND THE PEOPLE I JUST FEEL SO BLESSED AN HONORED THAT MY EYE’S HAS BEEN ABLE TO SEE SUCH A VISION COME TO PASS. PRESIDENT KENNEDY SAID ONE THAT “FORTY YEARS FROM MY PRESIDENCY THAT THERE MAY VERY WELL BE A BLACK PRESIDENT” AND OH MY GOSH IT HAS HAPPEN! I WISH MLK , ROSA PARKS AND ALL THOSE WHO HAS FOUGHT FOR EQUAL RIGHTS COULD HAVE SEEN SUCH A THING. IM PROUD TO BE A BLACK AMERICAN ON THIS DAY. OMG “THIS WILL BE THE FIRST BLACK FIRST FAMILY” I LOVE YOU OBAMA AND THE FIRST FAMILY AND MAY GOD BLESS AND DIRECT YOU ALL IN ALL YOU ARE SETTING OUT TO DO…..

THANK YOU FOR BEING AN EXAMPLE

I am so proud because Obama is first and foremost a GOOD MAN. And he won the highest office in our country because he is the most qualified, BEST person for the job that needs to be done. I think it is amazing that everyone came together across the country to create a landslide for the future. I am excited that the BEST MAN FOR THE JOB is a black man!!!!!!!!!!!!! This is a victory for immigrants, It’s a victory for anyone who has been on welfare and needed scholarships to go to school, it’s a victory for those of us who grew up in single parent homes and nontraditional families, it’s a victory for mixed race people, it’s a victory for African Americans, its a victory for young people across the nation, and it’s a victory for people who want to do good in a world where there is so much malice and evil. It’s a victory for those who think we as a nation can do better! And that means it’s a victory for everyone!!!!!!!!

There were well over 200,000 people that crowded out Grant Park in Chicago on yesterday. This event is truly historical. Jesse Jackson was crying his eyes out. I’m sure he reflected on people like Martin Luther King, Malcolm X and others who ended up being martrys for equality. Jesse was there for the marches, the arrests, etc. so I’m this touched him like so many others who fought for civil rights.

On the other hand, McCain’s speech sounded like he took this as a personal failure, but when change is due, there’s nothing you can about it but conform. If you can’t beat em, join em.

change

Wednesday, November 5, 2008 /

congratulations to barrack obama and also to his family. im happy, but lets not forget the most important thing people, the fact that the us president is black aint gonna mean a damn thing if WE dont work hard to change our own lives and the lives of the people around us.
the fact that he is the president doesnt mean we can sit at home at the tv and relax all day and expect our lives to get better.
i mean he aint gonna eradicate poverty, nor is he gonna stop all bad things ( killings, tsunamis, too many to mention) from happening, no president can except of course that president is Jesus.
so change hasnt come, change is about to come, and WE are gonna make that happen.

congratulations america, congratulations our slave forefathers, the day you worked hard for has finally come

Normally when we say WE are proud to be an American, we say it really without any conviction. Now I really mean it! If you watched that lastnite and wasnt moved, something is terribly wrong with you! There is one downfall to all this though. White America will now beleive that racism does not exist in America anymore. But who cares, we have made it this far and this is just the beginning. WE CAN DO SO MUCH MORE! LETS GET IT!

Black people can no longer make excuses. We need to all stand up and be better people. I know a lot of us have deep scars from our past, but lets move forward. I believe we can finally do it.

@166..I was thinking about Tupac’s song this morning as I was getting dressed. I’m sure he’s smiling in heaven right now (or on a deserted island in the south Pacific, wherever he is..lol)…to think, just 10 years ago (1997-98), Tupac said in that song, “We ain’t ready for a black president.” We weren’t back then, but now, last night, this country has proved that we are ready. This is the greatest moment in Black history.

I think about my ancestors, Malcolm X (who probably almost woke from his grave last night, MLK Jr, my late great grandmother–I know they are so proud.

@169 BigDaddyReg, I feel you. McCain took all southern states with the exception of Florida, so it kind of makes the people who voted for Obama look bad. Especially Georgia. I was highly disappointed. But Atlanta is not the only city here and there are plenty of hick cities surrounding it.

@ 177 Sigh, Please don’t start with the negativity. You should know where there’s good there’s evil and where there’s love, there’s hate. This has always been in existence and will not change. Don’t forget that some of these white folks that view you a certain way helped put this man in office. Even if we were all the same color,
people would still look for something to hate. Just ignore those folks and do you.

I still can’t believe that Obama won. I know that it will not fully sink in until inauguration. My school, Austin Peay State University in Clarksville, TN will be making a bus trip to see his inauguration. It was so hype here on campus last night. Some people even got arrested even though it was a peaceful, joyful rally. There were some people who even said F*** Obama and no one threatened them or cursed at them. We Obama supporters were too proud to even let it get to us but the cops couldn’t see that. I’ll pray for Obama and his family’s safety everyday/

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!!!!

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.

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!!

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.

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

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.

@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

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?

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!

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.

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!!!!

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.

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!

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

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!

32. Million from London said: “…also black kids will not only have rapper, entertainers and athlets to aspire to but A PRESIDENT!!!!!”.

I don’t know what you’ve heard over in London, but black kids have role models in all walks of life here in America. It’s unfortunate that you have a distorted view of Black America. We are Lawyers, Doctors, CEO’s, Engineers, Scientist, Professors, Judges, Military Generals, Physics, Chiefs, Managers, Retailers, Astronauts, Pilots, Inventors, Investors, Producers, Authors, Landlords, Environmentalist, Politicians, Morticians, IT Specialist and Principals…just to name a few.

So, the next time you stretch your brain to say that American black kids only have rappers, entertainers and athelets to aspire to…you can slow your role. I’m sure that blacks are doing much better here in the U.S. than anywhere else on the planet. And, most of the civil rights you enjoy are the result of sacrafices made by Americans like Martin, Rosa and Malcolm!

As you all know from yesterday I was not and am not an Obama supporter but in a way I’m glad he won. In another way, I’m highly disappointed…but I won’t get into that.

History has been made, I’m glad I’m alive to see something great like this happen. But I just wanted to tell you Obama supporters not to set the bar so high for him. What I’m noticing is that some people act as though he is God and will in fact change us back 100%. He probably could. BUT he may not. You don’t want to feel let down or disappointed so don’t think that he will change this world back into flying unicorns where everything is all perfect.

You all need to hope and pray that he doesn’t mess us up even more. Just think about it, 1. Everyone will feel very stupid. 2. The white people will never elect a black person again.

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!!!!

How people were stupid cause they were voting Obama cause he’s black.SMH. BLACK SHOULD STICK TOGETHER. I’m not going to worry about racist white people or self hating black people. GO OBAMA.

As a black Christian woman, I have never been more ashamed and dissappointed at Christians and black people who are “supposed” Christians. How could someone dare vote for a man with such a lack of integrity and morals as Barack Obama. To choose race over our duty to vote/do the will of God Almighty. America will suffer and come under the judgment of God for all the law this man will pass that are in DIRECT opposition to the will of God. The Bible says that the shedding of innocent blood is an ABOMINATION (OBAMAnation) before God. And that innocent blood cries out to God from the ground, for God to avenge them. American kills millions of children (the most innocent) everyday. And America will endure the judgment. Most of us do not even know that Planned Parenthood was started by a racist woman, who thought thought of Planned Parenthood as way of decreasing the population of blacks (Genocide). MOST abortions are little innocent black infants being killed in the most heinous ways possible. Barack Obama believes in almost everything that the Bible forbids as evil and wicked.

II Chronicles 7:14 - “If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.”

I came into work this morning and a McCAIN supporter started mouthing off how obama wasn’t gonna make a change. I told her that he already has, by becoming the first african american president, and this is only the beginning.

Mccain supporters please get off obama’s nuts, at this point everyone should be thinking positive things for the future of this country. But i guess some people have that much hatred and ignorance in their hearts.

Honestly i voted for obama because i want to be able to afford for myself and my future children (and grandchildren) to get a good education, and to not live in poverty. Most importantly affordable medical care.

McCains $5000 credit couldn’t even pay my surgeon’s bill. (of course this is not including the cost of the surgery).

Yes we can! And we did! Now this country can move forward in a more positive direction. I am so happy and so proud of a lot of young people that came out and threw their support behind Barack. This really is for you because you are the future.
He has a lot of work to do starting 01/10/2009 but because of his undying support not only around the country but around the world, it will make his job easier….Not easy….but easier.

I also want to point out that Michelle Obama has been the most driving and positive force in Barack’s life. It would have been difficult for him to achieve this without her. I not only look forward to having Barack as president but also as Michelle being our first lady. She will be a beacon not only around the country but around the world. I am happy that I’ll be able to see Malia and Sasha grow up in the white house. What beautiful little girls they are.

It’s time for a fucking change and God made that possible last night.. OBAMA is the elected president of the United States. why don’t you go and think about that for a minute,,, take a couple of hours. Cuz I don’t think you understand what just happened.

While I agree with you about the abortion issue, I do not agree with you about choices people make. I don’t ever recall a woman/girl saying I’m getting this abortion because the President made me do it. It’s a choice people make.

You fail to realize that individuals we have to answer to God for this. Even when abortion was illegal, people were still doing it. You, like the rest of America, will just have to wait and see what Obama will do. If we can endure eight years of Bush, we can endure ANYTHING.

Seeing Obama win gave me so many mixed emotions but mostly it was sense of concern for my people. i’m happy that people are excited about the possible progression we can make in the future, but on another note we have to overstand and innerstand that the world we live in has just changed FOREVER. things will never be the same and all our trust and belief that we can change this world should not be in the hands of a government that has decieved us and tricked us time and time again this country has made promises over and over and again and never came through. WAKE UP it kinda saddens me that people have this almost MESSIAH LIKE ADMIRATION for this man. This almost rockstar celebrity he’s attained is frightening. This Country, the imperialistic structure of european influence and the cornerstone of white supremecy and global enslavement has just had a facelift and his name is BARACK OBAMA . You don’t believe a word i’m saying but when the shit hits the fan and every single right you thought you had is taken away remember the crazy nigga who was misinformed or disillusioned from concrete loop that tried to warn you. …..Take this election and your new found interest in activism and politics and learn as much as you can…the negative and the positive and don’t trust this nigga to change this world….TRUST YOURSELF TO CHANGE THIS WORLD…as bob would say WAKE UP AND LIVE…the great Fred Hampton once said ” politics is war without bloodshood and war is just politcs with bloodshed” and those words ring more true than they ever have…….OPEN YOUR EYES THERE IS A NATURAL MYSTIC IN THE AIR-

TO: # 331 -

The reason I say he has a lack of morals and integrity is because from my BIBLICAL worldview (not black worldview or American worldview) he believes/stands for everything that God and His infallible Word declares to be unrighteous and unholy;
abortion, gay marriage, sex before marriage. Not to mention redistribution of wealth - the Bibles says if a man does not work, he should not eat. We are to help less fortunate people, but not take from others who work and hard and give to many who just do not want to do better. I am in SERIOUS financial difficulty myself, but as a Christian I trust in the Lord. Not Barack Obama. The Word of God says, “TO SEEK YE FIRST THE KINGDOM OF GOD AND HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS AND THEN ALL THESE THINGS SHALL BE ADDED UNTO YOU.” If we voted the will of God, God will provide for those who put His will before their own. Barack Obama does align his values with God. And I sincerely don’t understand how anyone who calls themselves men and women of Jesus Christ could put race and economy before the word and will of God. John McCain was not my ideal candidate either, I had issues with some of his standards too, but he was/is alot closer then Obama.

@325..

Why don’t I know you?! I’ve been trying to tell people this yesterday on this site. I am also a Christian woman, and Obama claims himself as one too, yet a lot of his policies are directly against Christianity. Now I know Christians aren’t perfect and some are less strict on some views; however, it seems as though Obama just completely threw the Christian ways out the window. I’m not happy at all about that. Like I said, it is great that Obama won but it is also very bad. The fact that he stands for abortion & gay marriage astounds me.

This is what he says:

“For example, many gay couples can’t visit each other in he hospital. When I sit down amd read scripture I think ‘How would Jesus feel about somebody not being able to visit somebody they love when they’re sick?’ I conclude that that is something that is important”

WHAT?? Obviously, Obama, you haven’t READ the Holy Bible to know that God specifically says that homosexual’s will basically rot in hell and they are among the ‘wicked’. And not of God.

1 Corinthians 6:9
“Or know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with men,”

And I’m sure we all know the story about Sodom and Gomorrah.

I don’t beleive any of his nonsense.

I’m sure when Obama gets into office, there will be a list of Do’s and Dont’s. People think President’s can do whatever they want to do. WRONG! Obama’s entering into an almost 200 year old organization that is ran off of tradition. I’m sure he will make changes, but he will be limited. In his speech last night, he realizes he wont be able to solve all the problems. He’s only human. He seems to be a humble man.

Obama is like Deval Patrick. Everyone was all hype and excited for him to win, making people vote for him because he had such a HUGE plan for us. What happened? He completely failed and every single black person who was so excited for him said they were very disappointed and never want to bring up his name.

You’re being fooled if you think John McCain and the Republican party is closer to God’s will!

1. We are to let the wheat and tare grow together. Politicians don’t legislate morality. Who ever will, let him come on his own free will.

2. You sound like a selfish! No wonder you’re in SERIOUS financial difficulty. You don’t know the principle of giving. And, the bible says that everyone brought what they had and divided it among each other. So, don’t be using “sound bite” scriptures to make your points. Some people don’t work because no one…I said, no one will hire them! Your brand of thinking is called paganism! Don’t forget what God said, “When I was hungry…you fed me!”

I’m sorry to be so hard on you, but you need to find a “different” spiritual advisor like Barack did, and denounce all the negative ideas you’ve been taught. Someone has been filling your head with old testiment doctrine…which no one could live up to. We are under grace now and God will judge those the “unholy; abortion, gay marriage, sex before marriage” that you so eloquently passed judgement on.

The Democrats have lost dozens of elections because they let the Republicans flaunt their conservative and righteous adjenda! Only to be elected and send kids to their death in war and squander all the resources through government contracts and tax breaks to the wealthy. Exxon and Toyota should pay more taxes.

One thing that really impressed me with President Obama is that he did not makeit a color issue. He made this campaign an American Issue. I gave my testimony of CL not to long ago. President Obama has a healing spirit that is needed in this land. He ran a godly campaign, and not one filled with hate and lies. Like I said, how can that be godly, and your prayer is for people to become so disenfranchized until they do not want to vote. Or, you pray that racism kicks in and people decide to not vote. The Lord is God, and I give Him all the praise. Prayer warriors, we must continue to life him up in prayer and pray for wisdom.

No matter who’s in office, they are completely incapable of eradicating all of the problems plaguing America. For instance, if there was a policy to get rid of racism forever in America, trust me, we would be in much better shape, people would get fair chances, things we be better. But racism is an ugly persistent boil that has plagued America from it’s inception. I admire the fact that Obama realizes he has a big challenge ahead of him. He did not seem to brag about bringing about change on his own. He said he needed help. I’ve never heard a politician speak this eloquent. This election was historical is so many ways.

What is there to think about? Obama has no screwed up one thing as President…yet!

Wow. I do think it is right to spread the wealth around but Obama is doing it all wrong. He will tax businesses that make over 250,000 a year. WHAT?? 250,000 is a piece of cake! Not to sound like a rich snob but 250,000 isn’t a lot of money if you’re a running businesses that has more than 2 employees. So that “spread the wealth around” plan is going to fail so badly I can see it already. Everyone will start losing jobs because the company can’t afford to get taxed more plus pay the employees.

I personally don’t think it is fair for him to take money from people who worked their butt off for it and hand it to the next person who decides not to do anything with their lives. I know some people are just not as fortunate as others but from Obama’s perspective, the rich, aren’t really rich at all. He needs to focus on the huge money makers who you could take 2 million off their account and they wouldn’t notice. He has people regretting they went to..idk..into dentistry school for over 5 years to basically be making the same money they would have if they had done something cheap for 2 years.

There are more whites in the US than Blacks. Obama got all the black votes. Southern states are the hardest for democrates to win period, wheither black or white. Southern states are slave states. That’s where slavery was started. Their more conservative states which lean toward Republicans, Republican politics. Obama actually swing Florida which was a huge accomplishment considering the last time democrates won the state was once for the Jimmy Carter Administration and the Bill Clinton Administration in the whole history of Presidental elections.

None of us are perfect. Yes Bush screwed up at some points, but that is not any reason for it to be okay for him to be attacked and not okay for Obama. I let you talk badly about Bush, it is your opinion. I talk badly about Obama and it suddenly becomes wrong. Until I see a written law not to talk badly about Obama, I think he is a psychotic moron who won’t change us at all. IF he lives to the next 2 months.

Rayna, I don’t remember hearing Obama saying “gay couples can’t visit each other in he hospital” I think he said just the opposite. And, your discussion on the $250,000 taxation is whacked! You just don’t get it! And besides, 95% of us don’t fall in that category anyhow, so stop the stall ball! Most of the $250k people will only see an increase of less than $10,000.

Its because I trust him to lead this country in the right direction. I think the come touching moment for me was callling my 92 year-old grandmother in Georgia, and just reveled her happiness. When you think about the things she and other older black’s in the country have lived through. Segration, etc. I’m so glad she got to experience something she never thought could ever happened.

But when I entered the poll, I felt overwhelmed to allow my hand to punch the ticket for my Dad who passed in December, for my Grandfather who left us in 89, for my Great-Grandmother and for all those who I had no blood-relationship with, but who passed before ever knowing who Barack Obama was. I saw on my ballot that the square was number (18). So I removed it and found the box that I had punch several times already and punched it a few times more. I tried to mark an “X”, but the marker only made dots, so I punched the entire box until it could no longer be seen. I voted, MY DAD voted, MY GRANDMOTHERand GRANDFATHER voted, MY DEAD FRIENDS AND FAMILY voted for this man. God bless this man. God bless America and all the AFRICAN DECENDENTS WHO VOTED. But on the REAL, aside from us, I WANT TO THANK the 60% of WHITE VOTERS, the young and the old, who honestly recognized that something wasn’t right about this country. Those who understood that it was time and that this was the moment and that this was the man. ALL OF THEM, our white, caucasian, anglo-saxon or whatever you want to call them, OUR lighter BROTHERS and SISTERS in Christ, our FELLOW AMERICANS who looked past the divides and united with us to do this. WE COULD HAVE NEVER DONE THIS ALONE. Not with OPRAH’s money or in Spike’s films without the spirit of the LORD, flowing through the hearts of so many who are not black. IN FACT WHITES LED THE CHARGE! We need not forget, IOWA got the ball rolling. I thank GOD for this day. To be a recorder and an observer of such history. I imagine that our ancestors felt this exact way when Lincoln ended slavery. I can imagine the jubilee that must have filled the land. TODAY we share a moment in history equal to that event. A time when those in AMERICA realized that The Constitution and Declaration of Independence are just words on paper, unless we give them life, through practice, works and votes.

The Capital, that was built by slaves; The steps leading up to it, made with the blood, sweat and tears of our ancestors; Those stones paved the way for this day.

GOD BLESSED AMERICA. This land that I fought for and love.

You are intitled to your opinion however, church are state are suppose to be divided. I’m a Black Christian Woman and it says in Luke 12:57 (Yea, and why even of yourselves judge ye not what is right?) Not you, I or the government have the right to tell a woman what to do with her body. Her decision to have a baby is hers and hers alone. It is up to her to be judged by her creator not by you, me or the governement. It is up to her to seek an answer from her higher power not from you, me or the governement. We are not God and we can’t judge anyone. Christians love, embrace and forgive, not judge!

Peace and Love

May God be with Us All

First of all…I’m sure you learned the term “psychotic moron” in one of your therapy sessions! That applies to you, sweetie…not Barack! He’s a Harvard graduate!

Now, about your little suggestion of assination! Well again I say to you, stop living in fear and fairytale! You see Michelle is not worried, because she purposely wore her black widow dress. And, she was even brave enough to bring the girls in there black and red. Trust me, the Obamas know the dangers of leading America and God has put a hedge around them because I prayed and asked Him to protect them! We should all be praying and not talking about such foolishness.

And don’t forget, sometimes when a gun is used, it gives enternal life to it’s victim! The spirit of Jesus and Martin lives on.

Why must people be so NEGATIVE. I don’t understand. People have came together regardless of differ views and ethnicity and their are people STILL talking that DIVISION shit. Why are y’all steady trying to divide! Why do y’all think like that! Positive thoughts come positive actions because YOU ARE WHAT YOU THINK. That’s exactly why I like Obama because every obstacle he had to face (remember they said what he’s achieved wasn’t even possible) he has dealt with it with a STEADY HAND. He’s conscious! He had many people attacking him during his campaign and NEVER have you seen him break. THIS is why I feel with the challenges he face he will deal with them with a steady hand just like he did his AMAZING run to the office and victory. Y’all doubting him again but that won’t stop him because he’s been doubted before and he overcame and proved EVERYONE wrong. Grow up and make these next 4 years best for you. Don’t look to Obama to solve everything. He’s not the savior of Black people he’s a president. Y’all change y’all selves and true change will come. Giving me a damn head ache.

I’m proud of him though. And I will be even more proud when America seize this moment to reflect on themselves and know who really controls America. THE PEOPLE DO. So America can’t change until we do. That’s Obama’s whole point in running. We did this for ourselves and we must live up to what we believe ourselves to be.

MEAT:

First of all, the act your describing where God’s followers sold their possessions and divided them among each other was at the beginning of the apostolic church in the Book of Acts. During a unique period of history. Secondly, they spread their money among the BELIEVERS! Believers is the key word. Also, I did not say that all people who don’t have money are lacking because its their fault. I said “many” are. Also, please don’t pass judgment on my finacial struggles - you have no idea why I’m struggling finacially, so please don’t talk about judgement. I am not judging anybody, I am a flawed human myself. I am simply talking about a man who practically goes against every biblical principle and against some of the most sacred things of God. God is our provider - vote and do His will and he will “SUPPLY ALL YOUR NEEDS ACCORDING TO HIS RICHES IN GLORY…”

Christians had a duty to vote the will of God (whomever was closest on moral issues) and Barack Obama was not that man. Any man who promotes and advocates the killing and slaughtering of the innocent does not deserve to be head of a country that was founded on Christian principles and the Word of God. If you will kill the innocent - then it will be nothing to commit any other type of evil. The same people who claim Barack Obama is such a advocate for us African-Americans fail to realize the same act of abortion he promotes is killing off African-American babies in the majority! He is doing more to kill our black potential in abortion clinics then to help our potential. His values DO NOT coincide with the Bible nor the inerrrant Word of God. People thought more about their wallets then the Word. How many of His supporters were thinking of God at the polls? How many people failed to have the same faith they will probably shout and testify about next Sunday at church?

We hear the timeless words of Dr. Martin Luther King echoing in the
poetic reality of Barack Obama - the son of a black father from Kenya
and a white mother from Kansas has been elected to the highest office in
the United States and the most powerful position in the world! And he
has been judged on the “content of his character” - respectful,
gracious, humble and always with a positive and open smile!

From humble beginnings, he has worked, applied himself and dared to
hope and dream that he could.

His life and story must be an inspiration to us all. He Did. We
Can.

Let’s embrace this new day - this profound and majestic moment in
history!

Honey stop letting the hatred eat you up. I know you never wanted change, I know you never wanted to see a person of color lead the country, but that’s what you have to understand, you have to know the difference between the things you can change and the things you can’t and be wise enough to know the difference. You see, we won’t allow hatred, stupidity, ignorance and bigotry to stop us. We will continue to grow and soar! This is only the beginning of the great things we can and will do. We as African Americans are strong, intelligent, beautiful and capable. You see that’s something you won’t and can’t change, know the difference.

In Swahili Obama name means “blessing or blessed”, couldn’t of had a better name than that.

He consider himself a black man so that is what he is.

Rayna J. people shouldn’t look at Obama as a god-like figure or whatever because no he is not perfect and will make some mistakes, which is what he said himself. Even JFK once noted that it’s not what you are but what people think you are. He had all those women and sent his brother Bobby to do his dirty work, such as deport women out of the country that he had affairs with. I’m still crazy about Obama though!

Instead of just saying that Obama policies are all wrong and he will not fulfill his promises, let’s give him a chance. Wait and see what he will/can do for us

How fitting to have all that profanity and the name of God all in one post! If we were doing the will of God - there’d be no more war and God would fight for us! And I do believe and practice abstinence until marriage has occurred - I just wish everyone did too. Also, please reconsider your profanity - it is not that serious. You have no idea who or what I am. No need to disrespect someone who has not disrespected you. If you can discuss your opinion with me with dignity then I will be glad to resume the topic with you.

A. Keys -The Lady of the Game:

It IS NOT a woman’s choice…it is God’s choice. The Bible says we are not our own…we were bought with a price. The Bible says God “PURCHASED US WITH HIS OWN BLOOD” it is not the choice of anyone except God to eliminate a life that he ordained. 2 or 3 % of abortions are cases of rape, incest, or danger of the life of mother. There is no excuse. When a country goes and turns from God, as we have, it will suffer righteous judgment. I am not juding anyone - I am simply relaying what God’s word says. Everytime someone discusses God’s Word opposition points the finger and cries, “Your judging!” No, I’m explaining what the Bible teaches. I just hope people will follow it and choose life instead of death.

Founded on Christian principles and the word of god. I understand but why is it a RIGHT in the constitution for people to practice ANY religion of any kind that they want. If those ‘Christians’ who created the constitution believed in this contradictory religion why didn’t they say “Just Christians can be Americans” see they looked passed what a ‘book’ for the true rights of mankind, to believe what you want to believe.

I don’t get it. This book says to not judge but at the same time they judge homosexuality. Point blank it’s man made.

I’m coming from an Agnostic view. I believe in something creating this universe but I don’t believe it’s the god perpetrated in the bible. Cause that god is evil an contradictory.

Where is Judah?? He, like Rayna were the doubters! Now, Barack has won by a landslide! Judah was talking all that mess a year ago about Obama had no chance to win and the Republicans were just using him to throw Hillary off track! Which he did, but he also threw McCain under the bus too.

Isn’t it ironic how Judah has just disappeared from the Loop? Where are all the suthsayers now?

394. Marie, Your comments are so weak! You know God don’t want us jumping through all those hoops before we give to others. We are to love our neighbor like you love yourself! What kind of God would want us only to give to other believers? The purpose of giving is to show compassion and lead people to God!

But you, with all your analysis and conditions, you are like the priest who past on the other side of the road to avoid helping the man in need. Try to be more like the Good Samaritan! You have no understanding of the meaning of giving!

Go back and read your thoughts on post #394 and you’ll see the selfishness that the McCain campaign taunted as “redistribution”.

Honey, i believe everyone on here knows that Obama is not 100% black as many African Americans in this country are not 100% black. Obama is Bi-Racial and in that mix there is African American blood and heritage coarsing through his veins so I think anyone with a grain of common sense can come to the conclusion that Obama is definitely African American and thats what we are celebrating. I get so sick of people trying to denounce the fact that this page in history is being written before our very eyes. Obviously enough people in America thought that this country was tired of its old ways and wanted to go in a different direction. If that wasn’t the case then you better believe you would the one in here clapping and giggling for joy because McCain won.

Bottom line Obama/Biden 2008-12! The race is never over. In order to help this win become worth while everybody as Americans will still need to work to get this country back on its feet. THAT is what this is and was all about!!

Who let these crazy ass religious psychotic freaks on the blog (Marie, Rayna J)?This is why I cant stand when these people they can get up in everybody’s buisness and tell people how to live their lives when they know good and damn well they done some f*cked up sh*t in their lifetime. Newsflash retards: NOT EVERYBODY believes in what you believe in. Tired of people thinking they have the authority or the right to force their beliefs on others. Its funny how you can talk about how people worship Barack Obama like he is some Messiah, yet yall the one believing in some religion that was created by man himself. Ha! Im f*cking elated McCain lost. Had that old, paralyzed, crippled ass fool won, people would have been forced into following laws based on one’s man-made religious beliefs. This is supposed to be a “Democratic” country, not a “Dictated” country.
Better yet, just come out and say it, you dont want a black man to be president. Too late, Mr. Obama is. You feel much better with an old, just about to kick the bucket John McCain and his crazy ass, bimbo like vice president Sarah Palin running the country. You cant run a country based on your religious beliefs, because as I can see, it has never worked. You will not survive in this world based on your beliefs because there will be people who will oppose what you believe in. This country needs to be ran and represented by a person who is for the people. All people, black, white, asian, hispanic, native american, gay or straight, young or old, rich or poor, etc… President BARACK OBAMA will be that person, whether you support him or not, whether you wish him to succeed or to fail miserably, whether you wish him dead or alive. OBAMA will be OUR president.

Now here comes the hard work… I am ready to do my part to be a better person and a better citizen. I believe that we can fix this mess that we were put in for the last 8 years. As an African American, I can now say there is NOTHING that I cannot accomplish. If Obama can do it, so can we.

If I’m so unlike the Good Samaritan, then you must be like the Pharisees and Saducees who are like “whited sepulchres” and inside are full of dead men’s bones. (Matthew 23: 27)

SADE:

My posts were referring to people who considered themselves Christians who voted for a man who is against everything we are supposed to be believe in and them specifically. If that makes me a religious, bible thumping, Uncle Tom then so be it. The Bible says, that as a follower of God you would suffer persecution for His sake, it also says beware when men speak well of you. If I had everyone’s wordly views, it wouldn’t be a problem. Darkness will never agree with light. So your animosity towards me is sad, especially as I am a fellow black woman, but expected. I’d love to see a black man in the White House, who believes in the law and holiness of God. But your Barack Obama will sign in a law allowing the slaughter of innocent babies - black, white, Hispanic, etc. (mostly black) Doesn’t that show how much cares? In a few years, he would have helped in the murder of millions, just like your Hitlers and Mussolinis. Also, the same God you are referring to as evil is the same God in whose name I personally have seen demons cast out of people, have seen people healed of throat cancer, I have seen people with withered hands praise God and slowly their hands and unfold and become whole. When He splits the eastern sky and call His people home your opinions will change. Thank you all…I will be praying for our govt. and country. GOD IS STILL ON THE THRONE, AND WILL STAND ON THE EARTH AT THE LATTER DAY. And will come in power and great glory! Thank you all, and God Bless!

Marie, I really hope you are not saying we should have voted republican because you think Obama supports abortion and gay rights. What rock have you been living under for the last 8 years. Is that the only sin that you see going on in the world? or are you going to say that Abortion and gay rights caused the War, Katrina, and Financial problems. Sin is Sin. I saw babies starving and hungry in Lousiana and no one in the government seemed to care. Our babies are dying over in Iraq every day over lies. Thats why repubicans with moral “valyas” use you when they are getting low on votes and sweep you under the rug until the next election when they are low on votes again. They then go on with thier bigotry and lies and when it catches up with them, they bring out you out again to justify why the world is messed up to take the heat off of what they were doing. Make no qualms about it, you are just as bad as the people you are accusing of voting for financial reasons, only worse because you run people from God in the process. Take off your “church lady” glasses and open your eyes.

To God be the glory I give thanks and praises at this time… It was an AMAZING life experience for me yesterday to witness first hand what I winessed standing amongst thousands of people from ALL walks of life in Grant Park supporting one man with one cause of change for America. It was mind blowing and I’m still emotional about it all. We have come so far and still have further to go. This is just the beginning and we MUST band together and help rebuild our country, our communities, our neighborhoods, our schools etc.. This is the first step in the right direction my people let’s do it!!! I am counting down the days until Tuesday January 20th 2009 where President Obama will be sworn into the White House - I will definitely be there for that as well. YES WE DID - November 4th 2008 a historic date that will never be forgotten.

REASON:

I am not a Republican, Democrat, or anything else. I am a Christian first and only. It does not matter to me the race, party, etc. The issues and who is closest to God and my moral convictions matter. And it should matter to anyone who calls themselves a Christian. It seems a lot of people took off their “church lady” glasses at the polls and that is why we are stuck with someone like Barack Obama, but we all we surely regret it. I keep my church glasses on all the time - because I’m a Christian ALL THE TIME, not just when I have money in my pocket or it is convienent! I don’t make people run from God, selfishness and the lust of the flesh drives people from God. I don’t have animosity with anyone on this board or Barack Obama, I have issues with the evil spirit behind him - He is just a pawn on the prophetic chessboard. The Bible says the closer we get the Jesus’ return that the world would wax worse and worse. What happened yesterday proves it, our morals will not get better, just worst. That is why he won yesterday - he is paving the way for the coming of the Lord by helping to usher in more moral decay. Once more - God Bless you all!

I am not going to debate with you because we all have the right to our own opinions. I would just like to say that all politicians, including McCain, have policies that contradict the Bible so to say that people disregarded their Christianity when they voted for Barack is a weak argument because if we took your opinion and compared candidates policies to the Bible we couldn’t vote for anyone.

Anyway – Obama ‘08 I still can’t stop smiling : )

when it was clear that obama was going to become the next president of the united states last night, i felt a few things… relieved and, at the same time, anxious and kind of annoyed. it’s like the feeling that you got when you were little and the bus was late picking you up. there’s a slight panic because you think maybe you’ve missed it, maybe it came early. but then the bus finally shows up and you think “it’s about f*cking time”… now because the bus was late you’ve got to hustle to make sure you get everything you need before class starts. so that really sums up how i feel about this election. it’s about f*cking time. sure it’s wonderful that it happened, but what the hell took so long. we have a slight exhale, but now we’ve got to really tighten our belts and think about all of the work there is to do… all of the making up for lost time.

1st Congats Barack Obama my 44th, & 1st african american president! Makes me so proud to be an American. There truly are no words to express what I watched on TV Nov.4th as Barack Obama exceeded over 270 electoral numbers & also won the popular vote. Even more hard to describe is how I felt when listening & gazing @ Obama making his brilliant speech. When the new 1st family (1st blk family) walked out on stage it warmed my heart & then I realized again Americas diverse nation is over-coming race being such a central issue, although race is still a very hott issue its cooling with time. It may take many more decades, years, and centrutys before race is a minimal hinderance for people in this nation. Barack as president is not only an idol to black people that they too can be all they can be, but to every minority group! (Asian, latin, indian, bi-racial, tri-racial ect!) he repersent all of us! we are all deserving people if we hard and never give up like our new dear president Barack Obama, i just cant say him name and new title enough! I wish all the best to Barack as him embarks on the coming 4 yrs. May God or whatever higher being there my be, keep his family blessed, watched over and safe. Nov.4th, 2008 such a beautiful day, such a beautiful day.

Thursday, November 6, 2008 /

When Obama said spread the wealth I don’t think he meant to take from hard working people and give to others who are less hardworking. I don’t want to put words in the man’s mouth but I think he meant in terms of equal rights.

If I’m doing the same type of job as my co-worker working for the same company and we are both equally hard workers. Do you think it would be fair if that person made a substantial amount of more money than me? Not to mention I was working for the company longer than this person. I don’t think I have to tell you all that nowadays it’s not what you know but who you know. I see this type of behavior day in and day out. You have some people screaming and complaining about Affirmative Action but look what they’re doing. Giving high paying jobs to people when they know full well they’re unqualified. Their giving these jobs because they’re drinking buddies or they golf together or they’re part of the same country club. The list goes on. This type of behavior is the reason we have Affirmative Action in the first place. Black people never wanted to be superior. We just want equality. Tha’t it! It’s always been that way.

Why are people so scared and angry that the power has shifted? It was bound to happen. You can’t have just one group of people in power all the time. It’s been proven time and time again that it just doesn’t work that way.

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!

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.

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

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.

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!

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.

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…

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.

@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).

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!

@ 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).

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.

What is with you people? Barack Obama is not BLACK and he is not African American. His mom is White and his Dad (from Africa) left him when he was two. He was raised by white people and his first love was a white woman.

To say that the day after the election was “Our Day” (African Americans) is just ignorant. I’m black and even I can see the way our people are acting is a little out of line.

You know why there is still racism in America? Because black people (not all), but the ignorant ones keep trying to put themselves in seperate categories.

@Dukesman

Brother, there would be no need for me to “hold my own” against a twelve year old you because I know how to answer questions, unlike that priest that man-handled you (uh oh!). Lol, how many times did he “lay hands” on you before you spoke up? Maybe that’s where the Dukesman became the DaisyDukesman. In all seriousness, the cross is a symbol of death and capital punishment as you duly noted. The cross has nothing to do with the scripture. The symbols of the saints are the lily (fleur de lis), the Lion, the Shield of David, the olive tree, etc. The system of religion that is used today is an offshoot of Babylonian and Egyptian mysticism, who also venerated the cross in association with Tammuz, who’s present incarnation is the white image of Christ (Ezek 8:13,14). It has nothing to do with the Most High or his Word. This is what the scriptures refer to as the “mystery of iniquity” (II Thes 2:7-12). This is why that priest could not answer your question. He was an agent of Satan.

Furthermore, that system that you think you escaped, the Catholic Church, is the entity that calls that shots all across the earth from behind the scenes, including your beloved America. Why do you think that when the Pope came to America a few months ago, he was welcomed by all as a king? Your simple ass has no idea what is going on. You think Obama was in Jerusalem wearing a damn yarmulke and kissing the hands and asses of the Israelis for his health, lol? You black people kill me with that “think for yourself” stuff, lmao. Black people thinking for themselves is called the highest incarceration rate, the highest abortion rate, the highest dropout rate, the biggest whores and whoremongers on planet earth, and gangs spreading like wildfire. Whatever negroes are thinking for themselves about, it’s not working. I’ve never read an intelligent comment from you, much less in a discourse with myself, so I have no idea why you continue to tell yourself that you have “outdebated me”, lmao. Maybe you think that if you say it enough times that it will be true. I don’t even consider any interplay we’ve had as debate. You have proved unable to answer one question that I’ve posed to you.

@CommonGround

Spare me with the attempts at going hard sis, lol. All I fear is the Most High, and maybe a black woman on her menstrual. All jokes aside, what it is is that you love America. That is your right as a greatful slave to your master that he has finally allowed you into his house (or so you think). This is why I compare Obama-mania to drug usage. Once you come down from that high, the crash will be lower than the high ever was. I’m dealing on a spiritual level that I honestly don’t expect you to grasp. I’m just a man that is waiting for the Most High to have Christ redeem our people and put us back in power as he promised. There is nothing that you can do to stop that. After you let go of the Arab man’s hand and the white man’s hand, the real world still must be dealt with, the same way after you come down off that high, the bills still must be paid. At the end of the day, most of you black women just want to use Obama as an archetype to mold the black man into your own deformed, chocolate covered white man image.

By any definition of an “Uncle Tom”, the masses of black people are Uncle Tom’s which is why they get irate when real information comes out. They want to remain subservient in this defiled land, which is why they’re so happy that he won. They want to inherit all the bloodshed that the whte man has built this country on, so they get what they deserve. Note that all races come to America and open up businesses, and have a greater sense of autonomy and racial pride than black people do. This is why they gain more power than our people do.

Barack lives on the south side of chicago, in a historically black neighborhood, attended a black church for 20 years. He identifies himself as a black man. He knows he is not a white person. His mother raised him to identify with people of color. If you have ever met him you would know it. LOL
Of course as the President he has to appeal to all people, but make no mistake about it, he knows he is a black man. I am sorry if white people need to feel included in this just because his mom was white, however, Barack knows what and who he is in the eyes of America. Trust. He’a a black man. White people need to accept that and understand he is not your redemption. He is not here to wipe away all of your guilt for holding the black man down for 500 years. He is not here to make us all color blind.LOL Barack is Black and hopefully you are aware of that. Stop the happy dance if you were only doing so because you think you can claim him as being just as much white as he is black. He’s a black man. Deal with it. He is the first black president of our country. DEAL WITH IT.

I think the only cure is for all of us to wrap our arms around Judah and cut him some slack! He has never been hugged. He needs a hug. Can you imagine a woman living with him? WOW! That was a flash!

Judah, deep inside we all know that you are a good person, cause God didn’t make no junk! We want you to get better. Not bitter! I have asked all the blogger to say kind things to you and to ignore your troubles until you show some signs of improving.

We are gonna try, but we can only do so much! You have to want to be set free of the demons! Trust me…you don’t want to get to the point of no return. Take a break! Use Obama’s message as a symbol of “Change” for your personal life! Life is too short for you to waste it on the foolishness you’ve been taught! We are all pulling for you and God is standing at the door knocking…! Won’t you please let Him in?

Better Judah!

LMAO @ folks attacking Judah!!!!

Folks c’mon the only way to “shut him down” is to refute his arguments w/ FACT! When you attempt to counter his argument w/ emotion, you just look stupid.

As much as I disagree w/ his “theories”, I can admit that there are no facts (that I can find) to refute any of his claims.

@ Judah

Dear…I am not going to argue with you on the Bible…as it speaks for itself and surely needs no help from me. I don’t do a lot of disecting of the word as the word means EXACTLY what it says on judging others… crackhead or not.

I will say this …I believe that your comments are meant to enrage..which is not a Godly thing. (It is unfortuanetly working as you can plainly see here on this board)

I think that there are a lot of people very excited to see a change from the everyday face of America. I don’t think anyone is trying to hurt you ,so you shouldn’t try to hurt others.

With that said…have a great day/life.

Blessing to you and everybody else…..

None of what any of you have said changes a damn thing. Obama is the first black president of the United States. He’s a black man whether you like it or not. FACTS not FICTION. There is nothing ignorant about telling the truth. Kick rocks.

Thursday, November 6, 2008 /

Let me weigh in on the Judah posts too. There is nothing factual about anything Judah has said. He has given his twisted up opinions but that’s all they are. His view does not fit the definition of being factual. How is it a fact to call people who support Barack modern day slaves? um no. Judah saying what will become of Barack is definitely not a fact because the future is yet to be seen.

It’s getting ridiculous in this post to try and say a person’s opinion is a fact. I don’t think anyone needs to try and refute anything he says because its all a matter of opinion. What’s stupid is taking a bunch a mish mosh opinions seriously and trying to debate it, now that’s stupid. Emotion or not, there’s no point in refuting someone’s theories or opinions, especially since I have yet to see a fact posted about Barack presidential administration. It all remains to be seen. Yall should come back once there is some hardcore proof of how this will play out. Unless Ms. Cleo is up in here posing as a prophet I don’t think most of this conversation has any validity.

I don’t care if you’re asian or spasian, does not give two shitss what you are. If being bitter means I tell the truth, then bitter I shall be. Barack said it’s not about color, meaning his campaign and his run for presidency isn’t. He never said he is not BLACK idiot. If you can only support him because he has white in him, we know what that means,,,it means he’s an OKAY negro to you just because he isn’t all BLACK> You can try again but my point stands. BARACK OBAMA IS A BLACK MAN AND THE FIRST BLACK PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES

this is how far we’ve really come, people actually have a problem saying he is a black man. they can only support him if they can say some how water him down to an acceptable level and say we should all sing kum-bay-ya and say we are now officially color blind, NOPE

I have no idea why you are saying anything to me about being his “right” woman. WTF are you talking about? lol You sound like a fool. I know everything he stands for, probably a lot more than you ever will. I support him for reasons that go beyond his skin color, but I certainly do not support him because he is the “acceptable negro” who will wash away the sins of the this country. Him having a white mother does not make him the color blind poster child. He knows who he is, the question is do you? lol He’s a black man. Say that 5 times, take some tylenol and take your asss to bed. Save your illiterate responses and learn some damn ENGLISH!

Still feeling the effect of this. I love it.

And we gotta realize, while we really came out in record numbers as african americans to vote this man into the white house…..we also gotta look at the fact that if it weren’t for whites as well, he would not have won. So we cannot go around acting as if we are the better person in this… we are not.. finally..we are able to see that we are all EQUAL. Some people will remain racists until they take their last breath. But many have overcome the racism and moved on in the right direction. Change is going to take effect January 20th, 2009.

I just want to say that as a Mexican-American girl, Election day was the one of the best days of my life. I like many others cried like a baby. I still can’t believe that President Obama was able to unify the nation. There was some struggle in the beginning, but we came together in the end. My mom is from Mexico and she is already talking about attending the inauguration. I will never forget that when I voted I saw an Asian person explaining to who appeared to be his grandmother in her native language how to vote. I didn’t understand anything he said except “Obama”. THen the day after the election I went to an elementary school for my work and saw a class of hispanic kids chanting “Obama, Obama, Obama!”

This is just the beginning. I can’t wait for what is to come!

Out of youth, there is a certain naivete. The racial injustices of this country have not been healed just because Barack has been elected. I really hope that black people in particular do not fall for the okee doke in that regard. I do see that it took a nation of very diverse people to vote for Barack, but we do have to remember that in the closing weeks of the campaign, some very nasty and vile comments came from the rallies held by the Republican candidates, Sarah Palin, and Senator John McCain.

People are quick to say that we have over come, but truly that remains to be seen. Electing Barack Obama who is seen as colorless by many because it make him much more acceptable is valid point being made here, its not about black people acting better than anyone else, its mainly about us having enough sense to see that nothing in this country has really changed. Remember at those rallies they were yelling kill him, and calling him an arab?! Don’t be fooled, this election only proves that Barack’s bi-racial background may have made him more acceptable by mainstream, however, if someone who looks like Al Sharpton runs, we all know that he will not be seen as equal. Black folks need to wake up! Equality means, the prison system will not be filled with black men, genocide will stop regarding our people. Folks will stop being afraid to see us and acknowledge us as BLACK people, and will not feel the need to be color blind because they are too shook by acknowledging our presence. I don’t want to be seen as colorless, give me my props for being a beautiful black woman!!! Give Barack his props for being a beautiful black man too!!

It is really dangerous to walk around saying things have changed when racism is alive and well in AMERICA. The next thing you know they will be trying to get rid of affirmative action because blacks are being dumb enough to agree that all of a sudden the world has changed. Don’t be bamboozled!!

He’s a gorgeous black man and is the most powerful man in the world. United States of America is the super-power of the world, so that makes Mr. President, Obama the most powerful man in the world! He is a black man and I am loving it! I have to say this is special for black people in particular because of our history in this country. This is not to diss other groups, but you have to understand our affinity for this man, he represents us, our struggles, our culture, his win is OUR win and we love him for that. We expect him to represent us to the fullest because he needed us by and large to come out and register and vote. Without us, it wouldn’t have happened. If and when other groups turn their backs on him, we will still love him and uphold him as our president. That’s just the way it is. I do appreciate everyone else in this country that chose to support Mr. President Obama, and he will be a president for all of us. Just understand the significance this event holds for black people in particular. This country has looked for every way to diminish us, let us revel in OUR first black president, we have earned the right to. Our blood sweat and tears built this country, and this black man that we so love is one that we are proud to call our own.

Much love!!
We love you Mr. President! :-D With your fine self! Haha!!

There is something unique about him and everyone is so excited right now, but I do agree that if anything goes wrong with a choice he makes, you know who will still have his back? BLACK PEOPLE. lol Just like with Michael Jackson lol We still love Michael now that no one else give a damn lol Get it Obama! I know that whitehouse will never be the same.

@Sigh

Do you notice that, lol? No facts, just emotional diatribes. This is why “democracy” is so effective in maintaining the stupor of an oppressed people. It makes them think that they have a chance to deal with their oppressor on equal terms based on his own laws. This is a facade, but it will only be apparent to those that the Lord is dealing with. Facts separate and expose people. The truth separates people. Lies and falsehood are the only things that bring disparate people together. This is what Obama calls “wedge issues”. Things that bring about contention, expose allegiances, and destroy the facade of unity. To unify, there must be no one and nothing that stands for anything contrary to what the masses want. This fact will evnetually be brought to light. For example, this brother Dukesman acted as if he understood Catholicism, religion, or right and exact worship and understanding of the Most High when he doesn’t. So therefore, his entire disdain for the word of the Lord is based off of falsehood. I would be surprised if he responds to the information that I brought out concerning the Catholic church because he usually runs when facts come out.

@Wifey

Sis, when Christ taught the people, did it bring about contention or did it bring peace (Luke 12:51, John 8:40)? This is why black people have trouble accepting the truth. There are so many of our people that will directly refute what the book they claim to believe in says once they are confronted. Now I proved my points with scriptures. Either you can accept them or you can’t but please don’t act like you know what you’re talking about.

All that I know is I have never seen a man with such poise and such power over himself and discipline, this is why he won. He is blessed and God is with him, the devil tries his best to bring him down but it won’t work. I get chills listening to him speak. When God says yes to someone and appoints him to do something great, the devil can spew wickedness all that he wants, but the wicked will not prevail.
Barack is chosen at this time for a purpose and God has placed him right where he is. God doesn’t make mistakes. The bottom rail has risen to the top, the black man was never supposed to see the inside of the “whitehouse” unless he was just a servant inside.. hence the name “whitehouse”.

Damn negro, lmao. I missed your comment, #583, the first time scanning through because it was so short. I thought that you knew about religion and I couldn’t handle a twelve year old you? As usual, when facts start to come out you bitch up, pack up, and fold up. If you do not believe in the Bible or the Most High, that is your CHOICE, but don’t act as if you are above the knowledge of the Most High and Christ or that you have even the foggiest notion what it entails because you don’t. The Lord doesn’t want you, or He doesn’t want you yet. Nigga you cannot deal with me on anything that I represent. Not one, so please stop with the delusional nonsense about any “debating”. We’ve never had a debate and never will.

I’m just happy that Obama got elected because I think he’s the best man for the job. It was the people that got him elected not some conspiracy theory crap. If Obama does not live up to his promises like he said, then we will hold him accountable. Part of what got him in the white house in the first place is his charisma. The man can talk a good talk and very smart. Again, let’s just hope he lives up to his words.

I still remember the exact moment when I read on the TV screen that Barack Obama was president elect… I could not stop saying oh my GOD as the tears from my face streamed down. my best friend and I were both on the phone crying at the same time and to see jesse jackson and oprah winfrey and so many others cry I realized that this was something that we were all experiencing together as a people it made me so PROUD!!!. I would like to clear up a few things on here. first and foremost BARACK OBAMA is a black man. It was the Jim crow law that said if you have one ounce of black in you then you are considered black. anybody that’s is black and was born in america and the people before them have been mixed with something none of us are fully black that is why we don’t look like our ancestors neither does BARACK. BARCK is WHITE AND AFRICAN basically he represents what every black person in america is so to those of you saying he’s half white or african quit with the non sense and recongnize him for what he is I never hear BARACK SAY AS A WHITE MAN OR AS A AFRICAN MAN HE SAYS AFRICAN AMERICAN OR BLACK IF YOU DON’T LIKE IT TAKE IT UP WITH HIM AND HIM NON AFRICAN AND NON WHITE WOMAN HE MARRIED! HE MARRIED A BEAUTIFUL BLACK WOMAN!!!!!!! THAT SHOULD TELL YOU SOMETHING!

I cried, cried, cried, cried…& my tears flowed uncontrollably. I was in SHOCK, disbelief, I was HAPPY, the thoughts of all the people who died, suffered, got beat up, lynched (killed), hosed down, spit on, forced to use shitty bathrooms and dirty water faucets, sitting to the back of the buses, not allowed to eat at the counters of restaurants, we could not VOTE, we got the worst or no education at all. All the black people that took shit for years off those EVIL white people during those times.

I can go even DEEPER into our BLACK HISTORY (the history the WHITE PEOPLE HATE for us to bring up or show images of on TV, they wished we would just forget about )– we were DISRESPECTED to GREAT levels. We were STOLEN from our homelands & brought here to this country, packed on ships, sold for pennies wearing no clothes & locked in chains, whipped until their skin was opened, our women was RAPED (for years & years) by these EVIL white men, black people worked ther asses off in this country, while the white people STOLE all of our VALUABLE natural resources, they took credit for many of the INVENTIONS of BLACK PEOPLE as well. We were portrayed on television as IGNORANT, DUMB, FILTHY, STUPID, used for ENTERTAINMENT purposes or they got roles on TV as MAIDS/BUTLERS & of course we were called “NIGGER” as if it was all of our actual first names. & OMG, lets not forget there was the KKK.

*YOU THINK OF ALL OF THESE THINGS as OBAMA is announced NATION WIDE as the PRESIDENT of THE UNITED STATES & it is just soooo over whelming, you just start crying…Most of us WEPT. WHY? This was what Dr. Kings I HAVE A DREAM speech predicted. It came true on so many levels on November 4, 2008. The countries all over the world CELEBRATED our new leader as they got the news. To hell with the REPUBLICAN DYNASTY—GOODBYE BUSH!! It literally feels like a WEIGHT was lifted off of our shoulders. All of our ANCESTORS, all the people who MARCHED with Dr. King, all the people who died (black & white) for the cause.. (If you were white & tried to help black people in any way, you would be treated just like the black people (Both JFK & Robert KENNEDY were assassinated partly because of this—so it went on for years- The friendly white people that cared for the poor minority & black people–wont live too long back then if they were caught) . But It all was NOT in vein. Its difficult to explain, but its almost like OBAMA was meant to be the LEADER, like the spot was his to begin with. He is the REAL LIFE image (his family as well) of a BLACK MAN who:
1. EDUCATED/SMART
2.has COMMON SENSE
3. EXTREMELY INTELLIGENT
4. has the ability to SPEAK & COMMUNICATE
5.He is a GOD FEARING CHRISTIAN man.
6. LOVES & RESPECTS his WIFE & 2 CHILDREN & the list goes on & on.

I am just so PROUD that I among so many others. have been soooo BLESSED to see this day, in this life time. Growing up in a black household in bedford stuyvesant Brooklyn NY. With a single mother from the South. I have heard her childhood stories & I have seen it all in my Bed-Stuy neighborhood. Obama this man is a shining example, of what a REAL MAN is. I hope this VOTING experience is the beginning of a new generation to come.

*I hope this new President allows young BLACK MEN to wake the hell up, get off these streets, put down these guns, & start doing something POSITIVE with your life. There are no more excuses black people (can’t blame “THE MAN” anymore for keeping you down) Look no further than the mirror for that answer. GET yourselves together. It is a NEW DAY. I can finally say this & mean it whole heartedly …GOD BLESS AMERICA.

SPREAD the LOVE PEOPLE.

*WE NEED TO DO SOMETHING TO HELP BRING “BLACK HISTORY” into schools all over the world. Black History needs to be Mandated in all schools, Elementary to High school. BLACK History doesn’t need to be hiden from the world. Its an “UGLY TRUTH” of what AMERICA use to be & in some states & countrries still is. Our children need to know that there were plenty of BLACK inventors, & blacks that have made EXTRAORDINARY accomlishments in this world other than Dr. King or Malcolm X. As a mother of 2 children I make it my duty to educate them on BLACK HISTORY because the school system doesn’t do it. These children need to know the History of Black America, rather than the White American History (full of lies & untruth. they took credit for alot of what the black people achieved).

ITS A NEW DAY!!

Send those UHAUL TRUCKS on around back of the WHITE HOUSE for BUSH!
LMAO!

I feel like I’m still in a dream. It hasn’t truly registered that he will be the next president of the united states on january 20th. I am not sure how long it will take until I really realize he is president. It’s amazing. I’m so proud to be an American for the first time in my adult life. I feel Michelle on this one.

This is truly a spectacular moment in history and no matter what Judah or anyone else not feeling what we are feeling says, this is something so completely euphoric you want to freeze it in time and relive it over and over and over again. On Tuesday night when I saw the electoral count go from 207 to 297, I was actually speechless. I sat there immobile as tears just slid down my face. I wanted to scream, yell, shout and just lose my mind. From the first time I heard Barack speak in person, I knew he was destined to be president. I doubted Virginia going blue but I never doubted he would win. I am so proud and feel so blessed to be experiencing this historic moment–the first Black (and yes he is black because he’s been on the cover of Jet, Ebony, and Essence magazines–need I say more) president of the United States of America. This could very well be a once in a lifetime moment and I feel sorry for anyone who can not see the beauty in that and not want to celebrate it.

@601 Obama is definitely a black man in America, that’s their rule not ours. So don’t change it now just because he has done something great LOL
I know technically his mom is white, but so is Halle Berry’s and guess what? She considers herself black and so does AMERICA. Same thing goes for Barack. He will always be considered the first black man to become president, note the news organizations are not saying he’s the first Bi-racial president. He’s a BLACK man, and its time to understand exactly what that mean in America. 50% white = Black using the americans logic. Black people should be proud.
