White House press release

Hello all. Let me give this disclaimer. This post may seem a tad offensive and racist, but I can assure you that that is not the intent. I am just fed up. I watched the inauguration, I am even optimistic that he will do a good job. But here is what straight pisses me off. First of all, for all the history talk, and there was some history made, it wasn’t that crazy. He was not the first black man in the White House; that honor goes to a slave named Elizabeth. He is not the first black person invited in the White House; that honor goes to George Washington Carver. He is not the first black person to stay overnight in one of the main rooms of the White House; that honor goes to George Washington Carver as well. He is not the first black person to work in the White House, really, he is not even the first black president; WHAT?!?!?!? Yeah, he is half white folks. And the other half is African. So he truly is African American. That is another thing that chaps my hide. The term African American. Very few people are actually African American. That would mean that half of you is American, and the other half is African. 50/50, not just because it is PC. I am not English American. My wife is not Norse American. My co worker is not German American, and so on. Here is the deal, I am American; chances are you are too. Why would you want to hyphenate that? Most black people do not realize that it was there own people that sold them into slavery (look it up). I don’t see Jews still griping, asking for reparations, and trust me, they have had it a lot worse over time. If you want to go back to your mother land, feel free; you will be on a plane in no time. The first time you go to Russia and you turn the faucet and the water is black; the first time you go to Nigeria, and you have to walk, not drive, 20 miles to go to the doctor the one time a year he is in town. Or perhaps you want to go to France and get made fun of and hated the rest of your life. Feel free. Now I am not racist, but I am prejudice. I can’t stand people, of any race, to act as if they are better than me. They feel like I owe them something. They mooch off the system and would rather scheme to beat the system than use that brainpower to get a good job and get ahead. I don’t think there is an intelligence gap, I think there is an ambition gap. And another thing, how classless and crass is it to boo the outgoing president. All the presidents could fit in my house. That is an extremely powerful position with more responsibility than I could ever imagine. I am not a Bush fan, anybody who knows me knows that. But I do believe him to be a good man who really did try his best, and really believed he had our best interest at heart, even though it was misguided. To boo him, and sing sha na na na, hey hey hey goodbye is absolutely disgusting. He has been nothing but gracious and helpful to Obama, and I believe that he truly was embarrassed by those people. Also, why vote for a man because he is kind of black? How about his policies? A TV show went around and asked why they were voting for Obama. Only 2 out of 100 said anything other than something inane. 13 actually said they think Sarah Palin would make a good vice president for Obama. 55 didn’t even know whether he was pro life or not. I keep MLK being quoted over and over; let me leave you with this quote and see if you really think his words were heeded; “I look forward to a day where a man is judged by the CONTENT OF HIS CHARACTER and NOT THE COLOR OF HIS SKIN“. How many do you think really voted their conscious and his character, and how many voted his color and their ignorance? Something to chew on. Hubbard, out.
