Reaction

How many Americans voted this pass election? How many are excited? How many are disappointed? How many are shocked or overwhelmed? And if any of these questions pose or concern you WHY? Me myself, was very overwhelmed by the win. I felt as though I had won and I didn't think that it would be such a big deal to me maybe because i wasn't suspecting him to win. But it is a big accomplishment. Also if America is so free and righteous why now are we just now electing a black president after about two centuries of presidency and why are some people going against him because of his race and why are some following him because of his race. And what does this mean for the minorities of America especially the black race. For a awhile many black people have been using the race card and stating "The Man is Holding Us Down" but who is the man now ? For many of those that played the blame game and the race card what will you say now? Yes, there is racism in this world but I was never brought up to let that hold me back. I am black and a woman and i have never let stop me nor have I ever really consciously thought about it.
Hopefully as a people as a whole I hope that we can stop blaming others for our misfortune and for all people everywhere this should be a an example, if a black man can run for the president of the United States then there should be no reason for "The Man to Keep Us Down" anymore we need to get out there and take control of our futures!
