And nobody forsaw this happening, except me?
change is good .. but, wouldn't it be smart to make sure that the recievers are in a stable enough position to embrace this change for the good?
The wind blows .. but, what is in the wind?
It appears to me that Americans are so desperate for "something" good to happen for a change, that they ran towards it without considering the consequences of whether the people were ready for it.
And I don't think the people were/are. There are still people alive today that carry chips. The problem that is going to arise is going to be based around race.
The American people weren't ready for a black President. Blacks believe that Whites owe them something .. and whites believe that blacks aren't deserving of this something because they never suffered through this "something" in the first place to think we owe them.
We're not past that ^^^^^^ yet, and so this "change" is going to take a tone to hieghten this disgruntlement between the two races.
From my perspective, we needed another generation to pass before making this drastic of a change within our society. And the same would go for a female President ... women still fight for equal rights in our country in many arenas, and if a woman had been elected, then this "change" would have been more than we would be able to handle.
In many ways, I think the US is very puny and immature, in compared to some other countries who have no racial disturbances amongst themselves ... and ironically .. we're suppose to represent freedom and equality.
Until we mend that ^^^^ deep bruise within our nation, this kind of change won't be acceptable .. people will fight against it.
