Where was Lincolns Bible when you were sworn in? I beleive bad things will happen to African Americans and to White people . This is now not 100 years ago before any of us were born...we do not as a country owe an Apology to African Americans for things we had no part of. I beleive Obama has a hidden agenda . All thats left to do is wait and pray for this country as we already know and feel bad things are about to unfold.

I hope now this can end racism within our country. Two outcomes can come from this election. One, diminish racism within our country. Two, rally African Americans and start a civil war on racism. I hope it doesn't come to that, but I'm starting to see people with this chip on thier shoulder like they are better than other races. I hope this can cause us to come together and be the strongest nation in the world

I know that obama will accomplish better thing than bush the guy that lots a people did not like at all,,think hard about it dont be timido:U and I and the president all together need to accomplish r metas nor by having a increible prencident will change him the way we think,therefore we need to add into r minds positivas things like r new president Obama .come on lets work together............u dont to be selfish people..........come on ...think of acerca de esto please.....

could we help america and people that is deading in for food in other countries

All people of color werent slaves. I dont need to read no sentences from some article written by a person that I dont know. People are slaves and imprisoned right now. A lot of them are black and it was not justice in the application of the law and some have mental health problems. People came from different places with different expectations. Some people of color resided her and lived a lifestyle different or similar to there conquer so you dont get any information about em. All people are not stepping from being a slave, imprisoned, or defeated to have black representation at the white house. if such words has meaning and it does with broad base statements that are used to cripple a viewpoint of a person.

LisaKock, own your racism. no one here knows you. You do not wish him well or you wouldn't have prefaced your lie with that falsety. Own that you're not happy that he is the sitting President of these united states. No one knows you from a pile of ashes so no need to lie. You're a hypocrite and a liar and there's no need for you to be. Have some integrity and some self respect because no one is here convinced that you in one moment wish him well, and in the next word cut him down. Own your true feelings about the man.

Obama's name was Barry until he wanted in to politics and he's half black, come on. We wish him well but put it in perspective, People are electing a president not a savior. I dare to see how many of them will be involved in "change" what ever that means in 90 days. Best Wishes.

Obamas name was Barry until he wanted into politics! We wish him well but his name is Barry and he's half black, come on!

Obama does not have any ancestors who were slaves. Slave owners perhaps, but not slaves.

yeah sapphire72 don't forget that most of these corrupt politicians as well as the majority of slave owners were christians and that history has shown that religion and government mixing have led to the most tragic and evil times we have seen. I don't understand how much more religion you could get into our government all the elected officials are christians, would you like to just have only preachers able to be president. It seems to me that anyone taht values their religion would want it kept out of government. History shows that the most likely thing is taht the government powers corrupts the religion more than the religion straightens out the government.

Sapphire72, if you're talking about the Biblical god (and I can't be sure when there are almost 3000 gods to choose from) then I don't think introducing the idea of a god who condones slavery would be a good thing straight after electing an African-American man as President. No one is forcing you to live under the influence of Islam or Hinduism, so in a nation which is supposed to have freedom of religion it would be hypocritical of you to expect non-Christians to live under the influence of Christianity - that is, once you've decided which of the many Christian religions is best.

The Douglass/Washington video was inspirational. I can relate to what she was saying because I thought about my ancestors while I stood in line on Election day. My family had celebrated 130 years of seperation in September 2008. It's a beautiful thing to witness a black man being president. I live in South Carolina and I'm in my late 30s. We were taught in school that a black man never was president and they stressed that white men were presidents and the only one to be president of the US. Teachers were setting us up then to discourage us. My best friend, who is white, and have been my friend since kindergarten, experienced racism. People looked at us stangely when we were hanging out in stores. I had to experience racism within my own race among my peers because I am fair skinned and I preferred to hang around a white person. My hope is that there will be no division of minority and majority, but we will be ONE to lift this nation back to prosperity. WE need to bring GOD back into everything that has to do with this nation. Who cares about the atheist out there or those who don't like religion in school. I work in the school system and we need to bring God back into the schools, into this nation, and into everything we do to bring this nation back to where it needs to be. When you take God out of it....it's not going to work. With that said, I hope that my children and others will achieve their dreams and may God bless Barack Obama!
