My president > your president.
Jul. 23rd, 2009 08:41 amDear President Awesome:
I admit I don't pay as much attention to the news cycle now as I did when I was campaigning for you, mostly because you are in the White House now and I trust you take care of shit as you see fit. We don't always agree, but I always trust you to do the right thing and I can't say that for many people. This means I can just go about my day, trying not to bitch slap people over 'the racism against white men' or black kids being told they change they complexion of a pool* or those damn confirmation hearings.
And yet, apparently, America is "post-racial". Uh, since when?
As far as I can tell people only use the phrase "post-racial" when they want to say 'I voted for Obama so naturally I can't be a racist.'
Wait. This isn't about that.
This is about me coming home and finding out that you addressed the Alleged Racial Profiling of Henry Louis 'Skip' Gates^* and immediately thinking AND THAT IS WHY I BUSTED MY ASS MAKING HUNDREDS OF CALLS.**
I love you like I love Stephen. And Guy.
xxx,
Me
*Like Elon said 2009 is the new 1952 and I'm not a Tyler Perry fan, but this is how you put your money where your mouth is
**Alleged MY ASS.
