I never thought I'd see this day in my lifetime. A BLACK MAN IS PRESIDENT!!!!. I joke around a lot but this day means so much to me you could never imagine. To see that beautiful black man take the stage and know he is the leader of our country is enought o ..... I have no words.
It was soooo chunky where I watched the count at. At least a few hundred thousand ,easy. It was amazing to see people of all colors cheering for the same cause. Everytime they showed Barack had won another state everyone cheered, no matter what color they were. But all the cheers and positive feedback CNN was giving us could not prepare us for when they showed the official word:
BARACK OBAMA ELECTED PRESIDENT!!!!!!!!!!!!!
We went absolutely apeshit!!!!! Just as recently as 40 years ago a black man could get beaten or killed just for trying to vote. Imagine today a black man won!!! A black man is in charge of the same place they brought us in chains to and enslaved us and oppressed us etc... I've never seen such a celebration. People were cheering and dancing in the streets,I was shaking hands with people I've never seen in my life. Everyone had a sense of victory and hope that our country would stop this downward spiral the last president put us in.
Obama will not be perfect but the one we got now has made life unbearable for people . I saw his special and a white lady said when she goes tothe market she has to ask herself if she can afford the full gallon of milk or will it be the half gallon? This was a woman who actually had a job so imagine the jobless ones. I go to work so depressed because it doesn't even seem worth it if the market is hitting new lows everyday but at least now we have hope that someoone is in office who won't sell the people down the river just to make a few bucks for himself.I can't get too political cause I don't want no one in black suits knocking on my door but it's a shame how this country has fallen from grace. It used to be being from America was the shit but our dollar is damn near worthless now. We been fighting a war and losing soldiers for years now and no one knows why. Gas is so high that it's a proven fact people are driving less just to save money. Don't even get me started on healthcare because my beautiful aunt is lying in the hospital and her job doesn't want to cough up a red cent . People with perfect credit can't get loans. The man my fiancee rents from got his house foreclosed and she had to move. I could go on all night but I won't because now I know the country is finally in good hands. Its after 2 am and I gotta be up in less than four hours. So many different dreams came true tonight it's mind boggling. Thank you Obama for giving all of us hope.
So where did you watch the count and how did you feel?

My ass fell asleep just before it was announced... I'm still disappointed about that but WE HAVE AN AMAZING PRESIDENT ELECT IN OBAMA!!!
I watched at a local bar. OMG. The shit was fucking crazy. Black peeps. white peeps. puerto rican peeps. I am sooooo happy that I was able to experience it with other excited people.
After Obama won, guess what the owner did. GAVE OUT FREE SHOTS OF PATRON anddddddddddddddd yep CHICKEN WINGS lol. It was awesome.
I watched at the lodge and the feeling of love and unity and excitement and justice was in the air. Peolple shouted holy ghost style. Of course on the way home the streets were like a parade. Folks honking fireworks going off. Of course the thugs were shotting in the air
(come on you know there had to me some foolishness).
When I picked my 3 year old son up I asked him "Do you know what today means?" and he said "It's a special day." and I was surprised cause I had intended to tell him. So I asked him "What made it special?" and he said "Barack won!"
I'm so excited for him.
Obama is the H.N.I.C! :)
Well I always believed it WAS possible. I just didn't know when.
For me he has showed many who thought like you that we can and will SUCCEED IN SPITE of all those things many in our community use as an excuse.
I love it.
From 3/5ths a man to 300plus electoral votes!
Our president who’s ancestors where both the enslaved and the enslavers. That was the most powerful statement I heard last night on the news.
It’s all powerful stuff and a beautiful story!
GOBAMA
-OG
i like the new change around here.
i cried like a baby when CNN made that announcement.
I had the tv on and fell asleep damm insomnia but around 11 my mom called me and said obama won.. she is white and from the old school almost 73 and she was happy!!!!! my hood was screaming obama obama.. and i think i heard firecrackers or gunshots lol.. I know alot of white people who voted for him.. Its like were one nation!!!!!! I know MLK is smiling down from heaven along with all those who died to make it possible for minorities to vote....its was a long time coming!!!!!!!!!! Color doesn't matter anymore!!!!! I am so elated... I never thought about if I would ever see a black president of not..I always new it was possible....
i was layin up in da bed wit my son, flippin stations. when i heard the shouting, beeping horns, and gunshots i knew what it was and put on the news
How'd I feel? I hadn't cried not one tear till reading this post. I don't know why, it wasn't any more emotional than the others.
Prolly cause I'm going through some crazy shit right now, yet I'm still happy cause you said it all. I've had to mindfully force myself to try not try to cut back on groceries. I did it so much I was loosing my mind. Till finally, I said, fuk it. If I'mma go completely under, at least my babies tummies will be full.
I was laying in bed glued to CNN. When I saw the news flash across the screen, I ran to my roommates room and we just started crying together. Then My BFF called and we decided to go out and celebrate in LA. There were just black folk galore in celebration. NO DRAMA. NOT TOO GHETTO...lol a night to remember!!
