I saw an interview the other day that bothered me a bit which made me write this blog. Look before I even start I want to address Obama being in the white house. To have a black man as this country's president shows the progress of the United States. Decades ago a black man wasn't allowed to drink from the same water fountain as a white man, and look at how far we have come.
Oprah said that she didn't vote for Obama because he's black, but because he is brilliant. That should had been the reason that we all cast our votes. We should had voted for whoever it is we felt would had been the best fit to resolve the economic crisis this country is currently facing. Skin color should had not been an issue in this matter. For example, if O.J. Simpson would had ran for president would you had voted for him? Or if Charles Manson was the only white man running for president would you had voted for him? My point exactly.
Now back to the interview. The interview I saw was online with a lady stating, and I quote "we have a black man as president so we all about to be straight now". First of all Obama doesn't represent JUST BLACK PEOPLE nor does he represent JUST WHITE PEOPLE, instead he represents people as a whole. We shouldn't view our president as our hook up in the white house. What we should do is use his accomplishment as motivation for ourselves to ensure us that its nothing we can not achieve, black or white. Obama is our first black president not Jesus. There is no magic button that he is able to push that will make your life better. Instead he can provide opportunities for us that will increase our chances of success. However, it is your responsibility to take full advantage of those opportunities. So don't take instructions take initiative. Lets not just wait for change, but be part of it. Ya dig.
