a good friend of mine goes to school by me but he's from georgia, and we talked last night after the election. i didn't believe that racism was still so prominent, especially with our generation, but these are some facebook statuses from home that he showed me: ****** is going to invest in chicken and kool-aid stock. ****** is going to move to Australia. ***** is so umm guess the terrorists are on their way over. **** cant wait 2 see the new watermelon patch at the newly painted black house. ****** is... pocket your cash, hide your babies, grab all your guns, sit in your closet and wait...the time has come. **** thinks you should read up on George Orwell's Animal Farm because you, America, just elected Napoleon. **** is trusting God and God alone with our country. |

Frankly, we don't need you to feel 'really happy' for us; 'we' didn't do anything besides vote (and not all for Obama, I might add). Anyway, I'm sooo sorry that not every black person lived up to your *inhale* *holdit*high *exhale* standards. Yes, yes, I know. I nailed you for being condescending, and I'm being really condescending.

"Last night I was at the White House high as sh*t." Way to go. Sorry that was your experience. It says more about the places you are than African Americans. I was around plenty, young and old, in the midst of people of all other races. We talked about not wanting to stay up all night to find out, and whether he'd be a puppet, and how close the popular vote was. No weedheads to be found. Oddly a lot of people got internal memos to play down their support for the parties and not openly discuss the election at work... Immaturity doesn't come with age or race, it's an attitude. Don't let that person define your idea of African Americans anymore than you would let Colin Power, Condaleeza Rice, Barack Obama, or Oprah Winfrey. "Judged not by the color of there skin, but the content of their character." Judge this generation by generational standards, African Americans existed before all the things people choose to associate with them now, and go well beyond them, it's just not what's always seen, or noticed. So says the African American, never used a drug, gamefully employed, Barack Obama supporter, Prolife, morally conservative Eisley fan. It's a shame that a group of people of color stand out so much, it would be so much harder to notice if we all looked the same, cause if a white person said what you quoted, would it have mattered as much to you?  _________________ yup, that's my name.

I went to an all black school in first grade because of the odd zoning, and I was literally one of two white kids (my neighbor), and I swear if it wasn't for that, I would probably view black guys as jobless Jah-worshipping thugs, although secretly very strongly attracted to them at the same time. **** cant wait 2 see the new watermelon patch at the newly painted black house. Also, that made me laugh. I didn't mind the humorous FB updates, but I saw a few too many non-funny, Klan-esque ones that made me pretty nauseous. |

And given a reason, even jokingly, out comes the distrust and resentment, with not one second in office to warrant it. meanwhile 8 years later some are still in disbelief that after all that's happened a large number of people distrust the political party that supported the currently in power administration?

I think my favorite racist election day joke was - "Early polls show Barrack Obama w/ an early lead, but that will change when all the white people get out of work." |

Quit trying to paint me as a racist. I wasn't. I think that picture was probably the funniest thing I've seen in months. And it also points out that black people don't like other black people just because they're black. *skip to bottom for short version* Yes and No, cause by a lot of people's standards, Conservative in the "Black" community isn't the same thing Fox or CNN think of it as. Typically, if we're gonna generalize about he way "Black" people ridicule each other, it has more to do with a genuine sense of betrayal. Trickle down economics doesn't sound cool to the people on the bottom, they get a trickle, while the people at the top flourish. Since race and poverty are historically related in America, and globally, "Black" people, tend to be at, and stay in the bottom, and get "the trickle". Supporting that policy tends to support social stratification, and perpetuating a status quo that may have been built up on injustice and corruption. People with minimal power are ill equipped to change that, so when you support the Status quo, you are promoting poverty, because the system as it stands relies on an inexpensive workforce to generate profit. *short version* Trickle Down economics and "privatization" of social services that provide basic human needs exploits the lower-classes to benefit those controlling industry. Supporting those policies impacts "Black" people harshly given discrimination was legal up till 40 or so years ago. Though illegal it was, and is still practiced. So the conservatives usually criticized take their own success as evidence that all is right with the system, when it in general punishes all the poor, regardless of race, but due to historical factors a large percentage of "Black" people have been raised in the conditions of poverty, which can sometimes be difficult to escape. _________________ yup, that's my name.
