Wow, that was thrilling.

Anyway, I'm not particularly sure how to react about this whole "Obama is racist" thing. In fact I tend to avoid discussions about race because in general it is too complicated of an issue anyway.

I was going to type this whole long-winded thing about both sides really need to shut the fuck up, in more eloquent wording- of course, but ultimately I ended up deleting nearly the entire thing.

The relationship between ethnic groups in this country are not perfect, not by a long shot. However, I am not going to sit here and talk about how racist somebody is or isn't.

What I will say is the best thing we can do, white, black, hispanic, what the fuck ever is to do the best we can.

I can't say that I know what it's like to be stereoyped as being 'typical black girl' because, I quite simply am not. Most black people either don't like me, think I'm a foreigner or think I'm trying to be white.

But I have been in situtations where I have to have the uncomfortable thought process of "Are they happy cause I did well or are they happy because they picked the right 'black person' for whatever reason".

Ultimately, I choose to shrug it off. I have bigger things to worry about than trying to figure out if every white person I work for is part a huge Machiavellian conspiracy to keep me away from having any kind of influence over anything.

Excellence shows and I think that if I'm better than anyone else, by a wide margin, it won't matter what color I am.

I think that applies to anyone, regardless of race.
