Overheard while transferring from ridiculously crowded Red Line train to ridiculously crowded Yellow Line train at China Town -So, good thing we don't have to worry about those crowded metro stops anymore, right?
Woman One: Dammmnnn girl! This Metro so damn c-rowded
Woman Two: Shit yeah. Too many people here.
Woman One: Don’t worry, Obama gonna take care of that.
In other, slightly related news (and in case you were wondering...)-
A friend on Twitter recently asked "Whenever I speak to a black person, I feel the urge to congratulate them. Is that wrong?"
Survey says - ummyeah. It is on the list of things white people shouldn't do now that Obama's been elected. In the spirit of fairness and equality, however, there is also a list of things black people shouldn't do.
No we can't, white folks
Now that Obama has won, here are three things white people shouldn't do
My personal favorite here is
"Don't personally congratulate all your black friends. Black people are not a sports team, and Obama did not win the Super Bowl."No we can't, black folks
Our man is going to the White House. Now here are five things black people shouldn't do.
"Do not promise to name your first child after Barack Obama. We've come far, but Barack Obama Jackson does not have as much of a ring to it as you think."And finally, to end this post on a conciliatory note - check out From 52 to 48 with Love - a collection of photos and notes sent in by readers with the message that whomever you voted for, we are all Americans, and the only way this nation is going to get back on the right path is if we all work together.
Cheesy? Yes. But call me cheesy, because I believe this stuff and a lot of those notes and pictures really spoke to me.
