My President Isn't [[JUST]] Black

You know I can't spell...just roll with the punches!!!What does this mean??The 44th President of the United States of America is indeed black.HOWEVER that isn't all he is.I figuered I missed a thing or two so I decided to look up somethings before I wrote this. I'm highly irritated in hearing some of the things I've heard. Yes, this is a proud moment for our country and yes, African American's everywhere should be filled with joy.But what I don't understand is why some black people say that "we" (as blacks) got him in office.ARE YOU DENSE IN THE HEAD?!?!? If it wasn't for white people who believed in him and his words, he wouldn't BE in office.WE'RE (anybody not white) are the mInority!!!With that being said, don't you think we would need some of the majority to...i don't know, BECOME the majority?!?I'm irritated because some black people thought white people shouldn't be as proud as we were on November 4th.I'm irritated because nobody is recognizing that this man's white grandparents had SOMETHING to do with him being in office.He was in 5th grade for he realized that, "Hey, I'm kinda black which means, I'm going to really know what it means to be black." (my thoughts)His WHITE maternal grandparents and white mother helped guide him through that, not his BLACK father. To my understanding, he (Barack, Sr.) went to Harvard, got that Ph.D, and went back to Kenya.(I got this from the following website if you don't believe me: http://www.biography.com/featured-biography/barack-obama/index.jsp)I'm not saying we shouldn't feel a sense of pride because the man officially has the darkest comelexion EVER in that seat.But can we PLEASE respect the woman who birthed him?She DID have something to do with his living.Can we respect the woman who helped raise him?Neither of these women got to witness this head on. (His mother died in '95 of cancer and his grandmother died Nov. 3...the DAY before the election)I'm only hot on the issue because I would feel so disrespected if I were either of them.Rarely will you catch me saying Brack Obama is black, because that isn't ALL he is.His mother isn't black, therefore he is bi-racial.

a WoMaN LiKe Me

Do you think you can love a woman like me? I’m pretty difficult and I don’t read in between the lines real well.I’m not really into trusting people, it’s almost pointless.I like to walk around the house in a t-shirt and socks [pants optional].If you walk out the door without explanation, I’m not the one who’s going to chase you. Love, I believe in it, but I’m not a fan of it.Do you think you can love a woman like me?I overanalyze a situation way too hard, especially when it makes no sense to me.I’ll admit, I’ve been hurt in the past, but I’m not the type to bring it into my future in a negative way.I use to put others first and for the first time in my life; I love me more than ever.I guess you can say my Ego has a name…we call her Dyferent.I might try to pick a fight with you if I see that you are capable of being pushed.I’m really picky.Do you think you can love a woman like me? I’d rather lie on the couch and watch a movie.Being mushy in public is the dumbest thing ever, no matter how much I like you.I’m at the point where I can’t hold my anger in.If I’m stressed out, everyone around me is going to know it.Drama isn’t really my thing; I’d like to think of myself as a laid back person.It’s only a few people I’ll immediately admit if I’m wrong, you might not be that person.Do you think you can love a woman like me?I clean the hell out of some stuff, but I haven’t learned to cook, I was traumatized at a young age.If I could do it for a living and live comfortably, I’d sleep majority of my day away.Kissing is the sexiest thing ever to me.I often make excuses and really bad ones at that.If you think [Youu] can love a woman like me then be my guest. It’s not an easy task.But I believe I’m up for the challenge.Who am I kidding, [Youu] know me better than I know myself…don’t [Youu]?
