Being a part of history has never felt this good. It’s hard to even post anything. The only thing I regret is not being able to be back home to celebrate. President Obama has a long journey ahead of him but I am confident he is up to the task. The only thing true that McCain said was “the people have spoken.”
Out here in Kuwait people are happy however some wanted McCain because they felt they would be better protected. Why? I have no idea. So many stones were thrown President Obama’s way but he shook them off with dignity. I would love to see the faces of some old black people right now. I saw one on the web and it was the kind of smile I have never seen on an elder’s face. Finally is what the smile read!
Theroot.com posted the following "post election don'ts" for white people:
1. Don't personally congratulate all your black friends.
Black people are not a sports team, and Obama did not win the Super Bowl.
2. Don't declare that you "never thought you'd see the day."
You never thought you'd see the day?
3. Don't start crossing the street in order to walk next to a black person.
President Obama is glad you support racial reconciliation, but he takes a hard line against jaywalking.
4. Don't name drop "Dr. King."
If you absolutely must make some comment about how this is a victory for civil rights, pick a marginally less obvious figurehead.
5. Don't use the phrase "white people" in any way that suggests it doesn't include you.
Contrary to popular belief, having voted for Obama does not make you even "semi-down." Sorry if there was any confusion there.
