Holy shit, dude.

I'm still trying to find the words to express how I feel about such a monumental, once-in-a-millennium, historic event. We have a Black president in these here United States. Or rather, an African-American president for those of you who are all "oh, he's not really Black".

Whatever.

I'd just like to throw in that while this is definitely a celebration, don't forget that ol' Dubya is still in office for 74 more days. You know how you feel when you know you're about to leave a job, and don't really care about what happens there? All I'm saying is that we should still be keeping an eye on our still-current President. We don't want him passing any fishy laws while we're all still high on the Obama win.

Also, there's Proposition 8. The media would have you believe that the blame of the proposition's passing lies squarely on the backs of Black Californians, which I find to not only be silly, but statistically impossible. I'm not sure of the exact number of Black voters who voted yes on Prop 8, but I can bet that there weren't enough to make it a majority vote of *just* that ethnic group. So while 70% of Black voters voted yes on Prop 8, what percentage of those are of the total electorate? Not more than 50%, I bet. Hell, probably not even more than 20%. And yet, I'm getting text messages like this from non-Black gay friends of mine:

Black folks to California gays: Thanks for the President, now go fuck yourselves.

Seriously? Jesus…

I will have the words to address both Prop 8 and Obama's win. For now though, I'm just taking a minute to breathe in all this bittersweet air.

History is now.
