FINALLY!! The election is over. I was so sick of all the commercials. I'm not real thrilled with the outcome, but I know its all in God's hands. We just need to pray really hard...and often...that God will use President-elect Obama in the best way He sees fit.
Now I have a problem with Obama being called African-American! Isn't he just American? Will he be president of Africa and America?If he wants his race acknowledged, why not just plain old Black American? I don't really like that term either. No more than I want to be called White American. As far as I'm concerned, we're all just Americans. If the skin color makes a difference...say on a rap sheet...it should be noted under description...such as black complexion...or white complexion. Come on people, lets do away with Black American, White American, Japanese American, Mexican American, etc. American doesn't need any other description. Be proud! I'm an American who happens to be white, he's an American who happens to be black, she's an American who happens to be of Mexican descent. Don't call me White American...nor Irish American (my descent) nor my son Serbian American! Just call us Americans! President-elect Obama...I'm suggesting it start with you. Tell people...news media, for instance...that you're just an American! and they should drop "black-American" designation.
I suggest this be the first "change" you make.
