I was volunteering at my children’s school today when the other moms commented on how they had let their kids stay up to watch the historic event of the first african-american elected to the presidency. My kids went to bed at the usual time and I didn’t think to wake them up. Then it hit me. It may be historic for my generation, but for my kids, an individual’s race is irrelevant. They could care less. I am not racist, never have been. America is not Racist. We just elected a black president; so, once and for all, can I stop hearing about how non-whites in this country are “oppressed”? I really “HOPE” so. I am sick of this nation of whiners. I worked hard my whole life, and I’m white. The only handout I ever got was a block of free cheese from Ronald Reagan. So please, all you minorities, quit whining.
