Is the White House now the Black House?

Well it happened. It finally happened. After years of struggle African Americans have ascended to the highest throne in America, probably the world... And.... NOTHING HAPPENED. Well, I guess that's good. *let me explain* Everyone's waiting for things to change for better or worse under a black president. Racists wait to have their theories proven, Blacks wait to see roses and daises sprout out of the ground now that there's a man of color in the white house, but I believe they're forgetting that change really starts with you. Yes, like the old Michael Jackson song, man in the mirror. "If you want to make the world a better place, take a look at yourself and make a change." I don't think Obama's going to do anything special, besides being black. He seems like your ordinary politician who'll play the figure head of the corporate machine that is American politics.

But how will this affect joe plumbers out there, the real joe plumbers... I see young black males all the time out there living in fatherless homes or if they do have a father he's a terrible role model. Unfortunately I know they will probably find themselves behind bars later in life, such little kids, totally innocent. How can the world suddenly be this peaceful place that's moved on from the evils of the past, if the reality for these little guys is still so bleak? I don't have the answer to that. Maybe people will start to be a little more friendly now I suppose since it really is a different world now, but there's still a lot of work to do to fully impliment real change in my mind. We'll see...
