yeah there's always going to be that
something i find a little more interesting to watch for is how obama's victory seems to be yet another in the long line of "events" white people use saying that because he's been elected that we've "overcome the hurdles of history and black people no longer have an excuse"
as if systemic inequality is suddenly nobody's problem but their own so it's open season to totally ignore them or actually "hold them accountable" for their own poverty.
what have you got to complain about? one of
your own is now the president.
it blatantly looks like it's doing the opposite and seeking to justify ones prejudices with the moral salve of obama's presidency to assure them that theyre perfectly fine in thinking this way.
also, now that obama's president we obviously live in a post-racism america where we can make jokes about "dune coons" and the laughter is purely in the spirit of a well appreciated joke. yeop.
theres always going to be the classic fucks who set fire to things and become the future antagonists of oscar-baiting movies. it's when yr own nice-suit co-workers in a 66/33 obama state start in on the nigger jokes at work that racism isn't even close to being the soon-antiquated notion everyone seems to be hawking about.
or maybe even just bill bennett
Anderson Cooper: I mean, if he does become president, and it still is an if, does anyone know what this means in terms of change of race relations in the United States, or perception of?
Bennett: Well, I'll tell you one thing it means, as a former Secretary of Education: You don't take any excuses anymore from anybody who says, 'The deck is stacked, I can't do anything, there's so much in-built this and that.' There are always problems in a big society. But we have just -- if this turns out to be the case, President Obama -- we have just achieved an incredible milestone. For which the rest of the world needs to have more respect for the United States than it sometimes does.
a curve ball could be thrown to the deep-hick america if the republicans take jindal seriously as a presidential candidate, but it'd just be more of the same. they can "look past" jindals background so that means that they're not the racists everyone makes them out to be etc etc
