MESSAGE MONDAYS: World On Our Shoulders

...okay..I wanted to make a vlog..and I shouldve posted earlier but anyway...

I know everyone is still beaming off the fact that our president is black (or rather mulatto.) Yet, I think black people are taking this the wrong way in a couple of ways...'

1. I think there are a lot of black ppl whom feel like things will be easier and they wont have to work hard JUST because our presidents black...WRONG!!! What you fail to realize is a black president deletes every excuse a black person has for not working hard. The whole thing of affirmative action goes out the window because how are you going to say that a job is being racist by not hiring you when the country this job is located in had hired a black man for the highest position in the land?? Also, you know how black ppl tend to model some of their actions because 'white folks' do it?? You know, like use white folks tendencies as an example when theyre trying to do better as far as raising kids, work, school, interviews, etc...well, that comes from belief that white folks worked hard to be successful so we had to watch them to get successful..Well, with a black man as president, the black man will begin to be looked at as a symbol of success. So our actions will be closely watched because other ethnicities want to see how we made it to the highest position. Therefore, we have to work harder to lead those who are watching us...

2. I also think ppl believe a black man as our president is our savior. Like all we have to do was vote the savior in and watch him perform his black magic. What they fail to realize is in order for the country to get back to a good place is for everyone to change and for everyone to put focus on the better good of the country. Obama cant do it alone....remember his motto was 'Yes We Can!' not 'Yes I Can'...also, know that he's not a savior so there will not be an immediate change..as drastic as the state of our country is there will be a gradual change if change is to happen...not an immediate one...

Keep this in mind, my obamas...

(P.s. no more calling ppl 'my niggas' or saying 'wassup nigga' or 'that nigga..' Dipset tryna start a new movement by replacing the phrase 'nigga' with 'Obama'..I, myself dont use the word nigga except when explaining why I hate the word. Yet, I dig the movement...I mean its silly but its better than the 'no homo' movements and rockstar look movements Dipset started...so yea...All my obamas get with it ya digg....)
