My President is black...but his house is all white!

I have been diagnosed as bipolar but don’t take the medicine, I pray.

I don’t think there is anything wrong with me, God made me this way.

From time to time I have a mood swing.

It could be about anything…

Just a bipolar incident…and now I have to vent…

Remix: Young Jeezy & Jay Z

”My President is black…in fact he’s half white, so even in a racist mind he’s half right… if you have a racist mind you’ll be ayight…my President is black but his house is all white, Rosa Parks sat so Martin Luther could walk; Martin Luther walked so Barack Obama could run; Barack Obama ran so ALL the children could fly…”
Amazing how history repeats…or rhymes as I like to say…Could it have been any more historic? Barack Obama accepted the democratic nomination on the 45Th Anniversary of Dr. Martin Luther Kings “I Have a Dream” speech. How beautiful is that…Dr. King had a dream and 45 years later with Obama’s nomination it came true. I’d say Jay Z summed it up with his verse I quoted at the top of this post, what is so very cool is that Young Jeezy had the vision to make that song even before Obama officially became president, thus the reason for a remix.
I can’t decipher what makes me so emotional lately, I’d lie if I said I didn’t get teary-eyed after hearing McCain’s concession speech in fact I turned to my husband and told him that we should “do it”…cause I had never been with a black man when the world felt it was okay…he just said I was crazy and laughed. I suppose I joke to cover my deep emotionalism in regards to black history. Now how can a Mexican girl have such a predilection for black people, and black history? It goes way deeper than “I have a mixed child, a Blaxican” so deep it may be partially used to diagnose my current mental state.
Currently I have been extra sensitive ever since I first heard about Obama, ever since I googled “Obama’s wife” and verified she was a black woman…YES I did that, and no disrespect to any interracial couples, as I am married to a man who is NOT Mexican…still as a woman of color I was so happy that this man who had set out to represent America and who would become our first Black President, had a black woman and black children!!! Beautiful, now who can argue that the United States has a needed a model of a black family that would be respected and revered for years to come. Successful black marriages have existed long before Barack and Michelle, yet I think some people who still live in caves might not know that “colored people” have come a long way and if you thought the USA wasn’t ready….TOO LATE! I love it! I feel that this now paves a way for Hispanics of all kinds to make a name for themselves as well, traditionally us Hispanics are all about the “familia”, hence the reason politics have not been our forte so to speak…well America I think that might too be changing and can’t wait!
