NATE'S KNOWLEDGE
Everyone has crowned our president and given him the keys to the white house. We have all said OK.. go... Make miracles. Change hundreds of years of systemic racism, prejudice, ignorance and struggle. Go out there and make black folk turn around the self hatred that has further crippled us. GO!! But has anyone evaluated the fact that we may not be ready ? We expect this man to come wave a wand, and the second he does something that looks like he choosing the wrong side, black folks are gonna crucify that man. Are we able to allow him to grow as a leader without completely doubting his "loyalty"? After all, he did pledge an oath to this country not to black America. Did you ever think about all the knowledge and burdens he will be faced with on the first day? The secrets that have only been known by 48 other men? Just because he might make things better don't make him Christ. It Just means currently he is the best option. As long as he makes a difference that's positive that good. He cant be everything to everyone and he is human. Lets remember that.

i feel u Nate...as soon as he get in office its gon be like shoppin at the new store the black man just opened...you'd pay full price with no complaints if "the white" owned the store, but since a brotha run it, black ppl gon want a hook up!
we have evolved into a new spectrum of racism...its called the ballerz vs the broke mofos! Obama caint change ya color or ya bread & if one of the two dont change (or both in the case of Mike Jack) u still doggy paddling w/ the sharks! What he has single handedly done was make a nigga know it aint shyt we caint really get into! Contrary to cracker....(shyt) i mean American belief! We fukn off golf,tennis, MUZIK (VIA HIP-HOP & R&B) and the white house! keeps it pushn round here- katt williams
"We expect this man to come wave a wand"
Speak for yourself, homie. Anyway with a lick of common sense knows that no one is going to come in and make instant changes. It'll take time, bureacracy, legislation and a lot of other things to make change happen.
What we do know is that Barack Obama is the best man for the job. And even if he isn't, he's certainly better than John McCain.
Black people make up a mere 13% of the country. He's not running to be the Black leader... he's running to be the President of the United States of America, which means he needs to take all races, religions and viewpoints into consideration.
Another thing to note is his campaign is all about Americans getting involved in government and doing things themselves. No he's not going to singlehandedly make things better for Black people or any other race. People are going to have to get up and do things themselves. He's been saying that from day one.
Last thing is that if people are looking for someone to swoop in and save them from all their problems, let them know Jesus graced the earth left a couple thousand years ago and he's available via call.
