it goes both ways, babe

DISCLAIMER: this post will probably (most likely) be highly offensive to a lot of you. Remember, you're reading this by choice.

In the days of post-election dramatics, I seem to have learned a lot about where other people stand as well as where I stand. I've learned that the people I used to think so highly of are people who don't deserve those thoughts at all. I've come *this* close to flying off the handle and even closer to punching someone in their all too white face.

First of all, I'm beyond pissed off that people are saying that black people voted for Barack just because he is black. Um excuse me. The last time *I* checked, there were white people who *didn't* vote for him just because he is black. so PLEASE go jump off a cliff with that bullshit. The last time I checked, there were STILL, in 2012, white men (cops who are legally certified) who pulled black men over just because they are black, companies who passed black people over for promotions just because they are black, places who still attempt to refuse black people service JUST BECAUSE THEY ARE BLACK. so when white people stop doing things just because someone is black, that's when i'll listen to you.... then again, maybe not.

Second of all, i'm slightly irritated that people keep calling him black. he's biracial, people! BIRACIAL. as a biracial woman myself, it's sort of offensive. My president is BIRACIAL! When I look at someone and say i'm black, it's "no, lauren, you're mixed" or "no, lauren, you're only half." WELL DAMMIT SO IS BARACK. SO BYE.

Third and finally, for those of you who have said you're moving somewhere else, or barack is a joke, or something along those lines, well good freaking riddance. I'll help you pack. literally, bye. For one, our country is the ONLY country with as much freedom as you'll find. Also, Canada and Australia BOTH have universal healthcare, which is something you so adamantly protest, so, uh, okay. Furthermore, no matter how much you disagree with the president's views, you should still support him because he is your president. That's part of the reason our country is in such a hole right now is because congress/senate/house can't get anything done because they like to disagree just for the sake of being anti-obama. Get out of here with that! It's not helping ANYONE, including your own dumb butt.

okay, my political rant is over.

love ya,
lauren
