What will happen next?

I am curious to know what will happen next. Many people think that Obama will be lenient and the stereotypical African American. The day that he was elected, I received many text messages. One of them said, "There's going to be a picnic in front of the White House. So bring your watermelon, liquor, and your own blunt." I thought it was funny just like the Carlos Mencia video. I didn't take it seriously because I think that Obama will make a change. However, there are some people who believe that the comments and video is a true description on how the government is going to be. There are many reasons why people think this way:
  1. They're ignorant
  2. Although this is just a stereotype for blacks, they're forgetting that he is part white
  3. They have nothing else better to do

Well, the only way to find out the truth is just to wait and see.

Thank you....he is part white and was raised by his mother and his family...hence, the term "mulatoo". And I believe this part of the reason why many white Americans have accepted him..because they see him, in a way as a part of them and choose to overlook his african heritage to a certain degree, however wait until he makes a mistake then we'll see what they say.

He's part white, went to Harvard, and so on.....white Americans can identify with him. Of course, there is a lot more to this, that I could go into but these are just a couple of points.

I always thought that if Obama was elected as our next President, many ignorant people especially African Americans would start to think differently. Not differently in a positive manner but I figured they would automatically think they could do what they wanted. Its a shame because I received those same text messages and I too took them as a joke and thought it was funny but there are people out there that really go by those thoughts in the text messages. It's sad.I believe Obama will make change.
