I figured to put this in the Lounge but I am really concerned about it. With Obama being elected as President, it is OK for African-American's to flaunt that "their president is black".

On my facebook friends list, I have seen updates such as:
"MY PREZ IS BLACK"
"We are taking over!"
"In Black We Trust!"
etc..

These comments were all made by African-Americans. Why is it OK for blacks to act this way but the instant a white person says something, it is considered being a racist?

I made my status, "My President is Black", and immediately got bombarded with comments saying that I was a racist.

Are you kidding me?

Because Whites weren't "disenfranchised" for 400 years.

Tell em now that a black man has been elected president you should be able to make racist comments back and not hear a damn thing about it since they finally "Got theirs"
