So Barack Obama is pretty much there to be the new president of America and this news has been announced so many times on the TV in the past few days that I'm getting sick of hearing one thing all the time:
Barack Obama will be the first black man to run for president
What the fuck America? In a country of equality and home to the American dream - where everyone is supposedly treated like equals - why does it make a difference if he's black? That's probably the biggest 'fuck you' to the whole idea of freedom, equality and shit - you're pointing out he's different to everyone else meaning he's gonna be treated differently too. ou shouldn't have to point out he's black in the first place anyway, if it was soooo equal and all skin colour wouldn't make a difference to how you percieve a candidate. Even suggesting that it's a milestone a black dude could run for president is a racist statement in itself, showing you had no real belief it'd be successful - BECAUSE HE'S NOT WHITE.
I think everyone is missing the point with Barack Obama anyway. Who cares if the dude is black with new some snazzy plans for America (from what I've heard it includes withdrawing from the fuck-up of Iraq and a greener outlook on shit)? We're all missing out the coolest thing about him:
His name sounds like a Star Wars character.
And wouldn't that be the coolest-named president ever?
