surprisingly, there are some number of white people upset about obama's election. but not just regular angry.
they're so angry (how angry are they??!)
they're SO angry, they've been taking out their aggression on black people.
(who?!)
BLACK PEOPLE!!
okay, so maybe it's not surprising at all.
some white people (mainly in the south, AP would have us believe) have been feeling like they lost something with this election. like something's been taken away from them. like they suddenly lost all of their magic white privilege powers. i'd argue however, that the only thing taken away from them was the privilege of being able to see a president with the same color skin. thats a big one, as it affects all types of esteem and confidence levels, but it amounts to less when you consider the fact that the country's institutionalized racist structures remain intact.
so white people, easy on the hate crimes.
think about how differently we all might be feeling if jesse jackson was our president-elect.
imagine here some type of reverse slavery...
black people, maybe a return to arms?
kidding!
give peace a chance.
peace peace peace
still though, i'll offer you this, in honor of haters everywhere.
