On this last day of 2008.

It's a time of reflectance.

I would say the largest event in my existence is the election of Barack Obama. All things put aside, it's a huge symbolic leap in this country's perception of who's a leader to have a black "face" at the lead of the country. Imagine this picture:

Now with Barack's picture tagged at the end. Seriously, wow.

Now we need 43 more, then maybe we can talk about some degree of equality.

People say I talk about race too much, yet it's the single most salient feature that determines who and what we are in a larger societal sense. If people don't realize that, they have their head in the sand.

Barack's election is a huge step in altering that, no doubt.

You mean you don't think Obama is part of the system? You don't think his election was planned and plotted years ago by the ILLUMINATI and that he is either one of them or an MK Ultra?

You've got to be kidding me if you think anything different. Everyone knows the New One World Order has been behind everything since day one.

I'm surprised that you of all people buy into this election stuff.

Obama is cast in the mold of an ABCD pet for white liberals, so familiar to us from SM. The guy was required to renounce any residue of threatening blackness (that "crazy uncle" Wright). Jindal is the same for the white conservatives. Both white liberals and conservatives have their native pets.

Of course obama is part of the system. he's just an indication the system is changing somewhat.
