My view on the election and the triumph of Obama

Wow, we have a self-identifying black person that will be running our country. I hope that people don't think that by just casting this vote that we have made a big change in this country because to be honest we haven't. You have to be constantly involved in the ongoings of your country and community. By electing Obama doesn't mean that it ends here. When there are issues going on in your community such as police brutality and shady activity going on in the schools, you have to speak out about what's going on. You cannot be complacent with everything, you cannot say that in other countries it's worst, you cannot make lame excuses for less than stellar service. You have to be constantly speaking and making change don't think that just because you pulled down that lever this past Tuesday that you made such a large difference and that the road ends here because it haven't.
