So yesterday we inaugurated our nation’s first (half) black President. Whether you like him or not (and I think we all know how I feel about it), it is a resounding statement about how far this country has come in terms of racism, and we should all be proud.
Now, I’ve always been of the mind that racism in this country has been steadily and markedly improving in the last 30 years….but being a white chick I have a very different perspective than someone who is actually black. (Of course, I take the Ann Coulter tack when it comes to the perpetual victim hood displayed in this country on a daily basis, and I refuse to carry any “white guilt” for something I have never done, and was raised specifically NOT to do.) I have never been (as far as I know) subject to discrimination, even as a woman, so my personal view might be a tad skewed in that respect.
For now, I am going to be proud that our country looked past Barack Obama’s (half) color, and chose who they believed the best choice for this country…even if I think they were fooled beyond reason by the lying, scheming MSM and the Democratic party….and their own ignorant, blind hate for a President who kept their asses from being blown up for the last 8 years.
But whatever. Michelle’s dress was pretty.
whatever happened to Ann Coulter? she seems to make a fewer public appearances nowadays
Oh, she’s around. More lately because she has a new book out. I’ve seen her quite a bit lately…she was even on The View last week.
Jen, what a great blog you have here. I’m glad to have found it and will be a regular visitor.
