Yes, I am all for Obama's presidency, but I can't be for it when the terms are relinquishing black culture. Was this necessarily the "right" (I guess our states don't really acknowledge any of the other cultures inside of the US) venue for her to express herself in this way, maybe not, but I can't be mad at her for expressing a sentiment that we all need to be reminded up. These United States are just that, an amalgamation of many different states and people; as we (as a nation) try to lump all American's together as the same, we forget that the basis of this country was in different people coming together for a common goal.
