Inauguration tomorrow. My thoughts tonight.

Ohkay, so with the inauguration tomorrow… I need to get this off of my chest.

STOP freaking out because we are having a BLACK President.

Can’t he just be our PRESIDENT?!
I thought all the racial bits were done with in the 60’s?!
Everyone fought SO hard back then to get it to not be BLACK and WHITE. Just to be Americans.

So why does it matter that Barack is black?!
This is not African/Caucasian/Asian/Mexican America. This is AMERICA. We are all AMERICANS.

Just get over the fact that Barack is darker skinned than most of us other Americans and accept him for what he is. Our 44th President.

Not our ‘First Black President’
Not our ‘First African American President’
He is our 44th President of the fucking United States ohkay?!
We want to talk about how far we have come.

Women’s rights, no more SLAVERY, advances in technology, COUNTLESS THINGS.

Why do we insist on saying that he is a Black guy who became President. He is a Black guy taking over a White man’s job.

Why Black and White?
Why can’t we just exist?!
The 1960’s called… yeah they want their racial profiling/slurs back.


He is our president. He is a guy who is going to try to turn this country around.

Stop being hung up on his skin colour and try to see that we are all Americans.

Who cares about the Pre-Fix on that title.
