Have race relations improved since the election of President Barack Obama?

CNN has this ongoing "Black In America" investigation and they have a pretty good question on the site this week but I am not feeling the answers people are giving. So I wanna ask my friends, family and passer-byers what they think. You don't have to type in your response, a mental answer will suffice but I would appreciate if you did physically respond because maybe it's just me, I could just be biased because I believe that race relations have improved since the election of President Barack Obama.

True his election can not, has not and will not drastically change anything but I do feel a big difference in the camaraderie of the African American race. People are a lot more chipper, a lot more cordial and I know for a fact it has helped the children. African American children have a new role model, out with Soulja Boy and in with Barack Obama. Kids now know a lot more about politics thanks to him and they are in turn teaching their ignorant parents.

My roommate went to a graduation and some Black people were yelling out to their graduating family member: "that's my n word." A little White girl turned and said "I thought we couldn't say that word mommy." You damn right you can't kid, especially not with an n word in office... off with her head!
lol nah I'm kidding, anyone who knows me knows that i HATE the n word from any one's mouth.

But if anything, this election has definitely opened the eyes of Blacks and the ears of Whites because we can't stop talking about it.

So beautiful people,
Have race relations improved since the election of President Barack Obama?

Black females continue to conplain about brother playing with the other color, and mexican fathers steal die when they find out their lil girl getin it from a black man, and the same goes for any other race. Black people hate black people, so its easy for every one else to hate us too. so to sume it up, hell naw my black president has not and will not change the views on bi-racial relations.

Tunnel Vision

Last week a fellow journalist died in a car accident. A lot of people at my job knew him as a kid from SIUC who died in that terrible accident the other day but I actually knew that kid, Ryan Rendleman. I went to school with him, I worked with him at the school newspaper and most times I talked about him on the phone with my girlfriend because that Rendleman was truly a trip.  His passing made me realize how quickly our lives can be taken away from us and how I really haven't done much to contribute to society, or to my obituary if I were to die today.  When I hear about someone my age or younger being pregnant, getting married or doing something that I would consider a grown up act, I gawk at how advanced they are, in a negative way, when I should really be getting just like them because life is so short!  I am in my early 20's, just graduated from college, have never lived out of Illinois, have never smoked, don't have any tattoos, interesting piercings or children.  This...

No turning back now

This one friend of mine is in some deep shit. 1. He's in jail. 2. He's in jail because he was speeding on a stolen motorcycle. 3. His mother is a laywer and she is so pissed at him that she won't get him out. 4.5.6.7.8... 9. He is a pretty boy Kappa, which has turned him into a womanizer. But the number one reason why he is in some deep shit is because 10. He gave his main girlfriend the passcodes to his voicemail, email and facebook. Ok let me break down that last sentence. He gave his main girlfriend the passcodes to his voicemail , email and facebook . Isn't that against the player handbook? If you have a main girl that means you have other girls... so why? The passcode to your voicemail... the voicemail that all the girls are leaving messages on because they heard you were in jail. The passcode to your facebook... the place where you do ALL of your dirt. I mean come on, how stupid can one man be? His excuse was that he didn't have anything to hide from her and ...

A side of Baby Mama, hold the drama

Just a few years ago, I would cringe at the term "baby mama," Today, I embrace it. It is what it is and I am who I am.  You have to live your life and roll with the punches. I never thought I'd be a baby mama. I'm more of the wife, fiance, girlfriend type. Or so I thought. Life is just not the fairy tale you dream it to be when you are eight years old in your big cousin's tiara and your mother's high heels. I wish I could go back. I would say "self," my self would say "huh." And then I would lay it on thick... "Little Aerial, these boys only want one thing and one thing only. Your heart! So they can break it." Can I get an Amen? "Protect yourself little Aerial. Protect your cookies. Protect your heart. Or else be the best baby mama you can humanly be, like me." I love my baby. Love her to the death. Do you hear me? I am with her every single day! She needs for nothing. And once she start to talk, she wi...
