President ELECT

This is a day that will go down in History... I hope and can't wait for great things to come. 

Edit: Last night as I saw our New president speak, I was overwhelmed I mean it seems kind of crazy that we have a president who isn't white. Also the pure and simple fact,  that many americans trust he will do a good job, which I can't say about our last president. I usually like to stear clear from the race discussion because i feel like if this nation is going to overcome racism we have to stop thinking there is a difference because of our skin tone, or the way we look. The fact is everyone on this planet was created a certain way to survive in the area where they are from. Im not sure if any of you have thought about this. But before there was mixed races to create other races, and interracial families. The inhabitants of their continents matched the conditions they had to face. Lighter skinned people in areas that were more prone to cold and less humid conditions, lighter -tanned skinned people with wider eyes where there are mountains, Dark skinned people where the sun is harsh and strong. This however has no affect on our minds or how we think, how we react to certain things. Slowly as the world grew smarter we realized that we could adapt to our surroundings. So as a Human race we were no longer kept from one another, we learned to travel and slowly races within races were created. The people that my family comes from is no where near completely one type of human, neither is yours, or anyone you know. Anyone who says they are completely one thing or "pure" ______, I challenged them to research their family and look up their ancestry, the chances are slim to none that they are "pure" anything. 

My point is that,  i Know this country and its "minorites" has been through struggles because of skin color, and the fact that Obama has now been elected shows somewhat that this nation is starting to realize even if only a bit that we are a human race, it should never be about our skin tone. This nation is built on immigration and that we are microcosm of this entire planet, we hold every race, ethnicity, culture and yet we still have trouble understanding that none of that matters as far as our equality. Whether you're black, white, tan, australian, european, turkish, arab, muslim, christian, jewish, we are all the same, we may believe different things but in the end there is no superior beings on this planet and just because you look one way has zero involvement with your intelligence or the capabilities of the people who look similar to you. 

So when I hear that Obama is now President Elect I rejoice because maybe just maybe we can celebrate the fact that there are no boundaries for people who have been told they could never be President, but we can also rejoice because now we can open our eyes and realize, there was never a difference in the first place.
