One: I have been black, in America long before CNN ( Clinton News Network ) decided to take an interest in it, and make a national story out of it. I don't need to watch TV to expierience what I have lived everyday for 35 years. I think it's all because of this Obama Bull$hi.., and not because anyone really gives a damn. Much like the people on this thread, and on this post.
When I first started reading the forums here on SOMD, I argued with a lot of you and realized that no matter what I typed, I just wouldn't win. So now, I pretty much have adopted the same attitudes that I have been shown throughout the years, and sit back, do my thing, and to hell with the rest.
If you don't care, why should I?
I started out with, " I walk through the mall with baggy jeans a baseball cap on backwards and a .45 tucked in my pants, with a shirt over it. Next to it in a pocket, I keep a gold shield, cause I have been a cop for over 13 years. The way I am received in the area by white people makes my skin crawl". I wish that you could have seen some of the most pathetic, pi$$ poor excuses that I received for peoples' actions.
People, justifying your horrible actions towards other human beings makes you just as ignorant and stupid as you preceive them to be. I am shocked to learn that most people haven't learned or understood this yet. Alot of people I chat with on here, and some of the posts that I received were from people who realized that that wasn't good, said it was just the way they were raised, and would make an effort ( for themselves ) to work on it. Because they realized that if they didn't start to change themselves, they would never have an impact on the world. For those people, I commend them.
( for the record, I always dressed like that out of uniform. Just the way I felt comfortable )
I severely dislike Barrack Obama. I disagree with every word that comes out of the man's mouth. I am black, and will not vote for him, come november, and neither will my wife. ( so she says, but she has never given me a reason to doubt her ) I may not know everything, but I do know this, when Obama gets elected president, and it will happen, there are going to be alot of white people in southern maryland with their bottom lips poked out, and their shoulders slumped, scratching their heads and saying to themselves, " how did we let a black man become president?" I won't be happy, but I'll be proud. And there are going to be alot of changes made in this country.
To all the racists, bigots and haters out there I say this, your parents failed. Your community failed. They didn't raise a nice, upstanding, ( possible ) christian individual. Instead they raised a monster attempting to judge a person by the color of their skin, and the actions of a select few, rather than improving on their own lives, and improving their own outlook on society.
To everyone else, I applaud you. The world is diverse and different. WE KNOW, there are white people abusing the system, as much as there are black people taking drugs and robbing liquor stores. We know that Washington is full of white people, who have done nothing, and continue to do nothing for our entire country, as much as there are black people filling the inner cities and walking around under the overpasses with their hands out. All nationalities have sterotypes and misnomers associated with them. But we look past them. We understand that if the world is going to get better, we have to start HERE with us, and then move forward.
Hopefully things will get better people. Under Obama, I don't see it. But I have been wrong before. I don't live in SOMD anymore, but it still feels like home to me. I wish you all the best, and I am keeping my fingers crossed that the tornadoes decide to jump over that part of the world for the rest of the year.
