So as old news pass, obama is now our president, first black president to be of the USA (or so i've heard).
Now my query is: and?
Ok so obama is a black president, now i hear dumb asses saying "AMERICA TOOK A BIG STEP FOR MAKING A BLACK PRESIDENT" bullshit.
"OBAMA 08" bullshit.
"I VOTED FOR OBAMA CAUSE HE'S A GOOD PRESIDENT" bullshit.
all the reasons i see obama was chose ware because he's "black"
Really does having a black president have that much of an impact? Do you think racism is going to end because of it?
No, when people start treating people equally, THEN america has taken a big step.
Now i hear dumb asses saying YOU'RE A RACIST.
No I'm not.
Racism isn't always 1 race baggin on another race.
Here's a few definitions of racism.
Noun.
1) Strict definition: An irrational bias towards members of a racial background. The bias can be positive (e.g. one race can prefer the company of its own race or even another) or it can be negative (e.g. one race can hate another). To qualify as racism, the bias must be irrational. That is, it cannot have a factual basis for preference.
2) Commonly intended definition(in America): A bias that white people have against blacks. ( or any other race)
3) Politically motivated definition: A justifiable reason to redistribute resources or opportunities between groups on the basis of race alone. (i'll get back on this later)
Now here are examples of said definitions
1) One is not a racist for pointing out that a blacks receives lower scores on their ACTs, SATs, GREs, LSATs and other standardized tests of academic achievement.
(1 and 2 are related)
2) One is a racist for pointing out #1 *IF* there is no reason for pointing it out other than to make black people feel inferior.
3) Racism is the reason that a 20 on the ACT should actually be considered a 25 if the test taker was black.
Now you wonder, how is this related to obama?
People are making a big fuss over a black president OBAMA THIS OBAMA IS BLACK FTW.
That's racism, obama being president isn't changing racism worth shit, period.
Before you call ME a racist, ponder this.
In America, why is it that it would be socially acceptable to have a "Black Students of America" for instance but outragious to have a Caucasian student group? Doesn't that seem racisit?
]My good friend applied to a scholarship program but was denied, not because he was underqualitied, but becaues he wasn't Islamic.Since my friend happened to be Caucasian, however, this act of racism went unnoticed.
Far as my knowledge the original (non strict) definition of racism is:
the overlying term for actions taken against a group of people because of origin or skin color.
Now here's the fun part, where supposedly america has taken a "big step" into the future for having a black president.
Practiced definition: anything a white person does which could possibly pose a hint of a threat to the feelings of an individual of another race.
when MLK JR. said that people should be judged "not by the colour of their skin but the content of their character", he didnt mean "make it easy as hell for black kids to get into college because they have a higher melonin content in their skin".
This applies to many black kids now.
If a black man talks to a white man about any subject, such as jobs, etc.
If he the black man can't get what he wants or just things aren't going his way, he pulls out the "racist card"
YOU DON'T WANT TO GIVE ME A RAISE CAUSE YOU'RE RACIST.
black supremacy is acceptable today, but white opinions are legally punishable. where has justice gone.
people dont' seem to understand that, the desire to live, work, marry and mingle with one's own kind: A nearly-universal desire and virtual law of nature, often expressed as 'Birds of a feather flock together', and denied only by liberals who live and work in areas much too expensive to have any more than a token number of minorities.
Is also fucking racism.
Racism isn't about hating on a race, it's also about loving your race too -_-
all people are equal beings regardless of race.
By the voters of obama going HE'S BLACK its' already a small sign that obamas followers are racist too.
obama hasn't been a president worth shit of time, so he has plenty of time to fix this, but i assure you it won't stop.
1 man can't change the hypocritical minds of 20 fucking billion people.
Racism isn't about a person hating another race.
It's far more complicated, incompetent close minded morons, don't understand this and "justifiably" attack other races as being racists.
i for one see every human as equal, skin color isn't worth shit.
Take a black kid born in africa and raise him in the USA for 20 years, he won't talk like "ghetto's" do.
assuming he was being raised in a preppy "white kids" society.
I dont' see as racism bad nor good.
I see it as an excuse for people to have superiority over others.
Obama wont' change this, nor will anyone in the world.

I agree.
Infact, it's been about 1/3 a year and he's not changed anything.
I'm still looking for an Obama picture that says "Nothing different" instead of "hope we can believe in".
