So in case you were asleep, November 4, 2008, marked a milestone in our nation's history... But the milestone of which I am speaking is not the one you might think. Barack Obama's election to the office of the President of the United States of America marked two milestones that day. You see, on the one hand, you have the election of our first ever black President. On the other hand, you have the day that we found out just how far our nation still has to go in achieving a true balance of equal respect amongst the various races that ultimately make up the human race (or what passes for it in this country).

You see, it was no later than six o'clock the following morning that I heard, "well, we're fucked now. Obama got elected. That nigger's gonna take my guns, protect the muslims and fuck us all over."

Martin Luther King Jr. Day, When explaining to another commuter why the bus was going to be late that day, I heard, "Great, next they'll give our NIGGER PRESIDENT a fuckin' holiday..."

Today, which happens to be President's Day, Lorelai comes home from work, giving the usual summary of what sucked about her day, and quotes a caller, who said, "well, clinic's closed, they're celebrating that NIGGER HOLIDAY..."

It's been an average of once a week I have heard at least something negative about our new President. And alarmingly, almost HALF of these negative statements are centered on the COLOR OF HIS FUCKING SKIN. Now I ask you: WHAT FUCKING CENTURY IS THIS? After all the EQUAL RIGHTS LAWS and various steps we've taken to ensure equal treatment for all races, how is it that we still have such intolerance in this country based on something so superficial as the COLOR OF ONE'S SKIN?

I am one quarter JAPANESE, somethinng on the order of about one thirty-second Sioux, and my last name is Wilcox. My last name is something of interest because of the following: Approximately HALF of the Wilcox's in this country are BLACK. It's in my fucking family tree. There is every likelihood that, given these circumstances, I have some black genes in my makeup.

And all I can say to that is: Virtually everyone in America, on some level, has some African genes in their bloodline. There are very few undiluted peoples in this world, and you will find them in the most remote and inaccessible regions of Africa, Papua New Guinea, and the jungles of Cambodia, Laos, and Vietnam. And guess what? YOU LOOK NOT ONE FUCKING THING LIKE THEM. Why? Because MOST of the world has been cross-breeding either through consent and inter-marriage or rape throughout history. Now, given this hard (and terribly inconvenient, to some) truth, please, oh PLEASE explain to me how the fuck one gets off spouting racial epithets about ANYONE?

Take the so-called "Master Race:" Blonde hair, blue eyes. How can you have a Master Race comprised of RECESSIVE genes? Brown eyes and blue eyes get together, the kid will have BROWN eyes. Brown or black hair and a blonde? Yup, you guessed it, the darker color will dominate. Further, civilization originated in the Fertile Crescent, that arid land between the Tigris and Euphrates rivers. AND THEY WERE NOT WHITE. The white race originated from a string of genetic anomalies, passed down from generation to generation, which helped us adapt to the circumstances that climate presented us in our area. We developed a long nose (for warming the air we breathe), fair skin (less exposure to the harsh sun led to less melanin produced for protection) and so on. The root race? Well, the oldest known fossils representing early man come from Africa, hence the name of the species: Australopithecus Afarensis, "the Ape Man of the Afar (Africa)." THERE'S YOUR MASTER RACE. Can't handle it? Then here's how you solve this problem: Go out to a remote area, lie down in the snow, take out a gun, put it in your mouth, and pull the fucking trigger-- effectively removing yourself from the human race and letting us get on with striving to achieve a better world.

It is those that feel themselves superior to someone because they happen to have a different level of melanin than someone else that piss me off to no end. It is those people that make me angry that society still has that far to go. It is those people that make me regret my very humanity because I feel tainted by their presence.

Now, some folks haven't bitched about our President's skin color. They have, however, attempted to blame him for the state of our nation. To them I say this: NO, the LAST President we had did that. Obama's trying to UN-FUCK us. But since it hasn't magically occurred overnight, they are quick to bitch about it. After all, our nation was left in financial ruin by a President who spent a several trillion dollar surplus into a several trillion dollar deficit fighting two wars, one of which was a fucking publicity stunt. This same man wiped his ass with our Constitution, with such strokes of genius as warantless wire-tapping and waterboarding authorized as means for acquiring intelligence. Guess what? Rome wasn't built in a day, and regardless of what that book you find in every hotel room says, the world wasn't created in a week, either. This will take time. If you're not willing to wait that long, then get the fuck out of my country. Because, after all, what other choice do you really fucking have?

I am not a patriot, not by a long shot. I know too much about our nation's true history to get behind all that bullshit. I didn't own a flag on 9-10, and I didn't buy one on 9-11. What I am is an American, born and raised. I believe that our nation is capable of great things, under the right circumstances. If you aren't capable of attempting to understand the scope of the mess that Barack Obama inherited on Inauguration Day, and the scope of what may need to be done in order to clean it up, then you are not American in my eyes.
