Dear Media

Dear Media,

I get it, Barack Obama is the first black man elected president. It is a truly monumental thing. But no matter how many times you play MLK saying he has a dream followed by Obama saying "yes we can", racism is not dead in America. No, this doesn't make up for slavery, stop saying that.

Sincerely,
Juan A.G. Munoz

Damn, that sure is a lot of drama there. I love how I (Conservative Republican that I am) somehow became a proponent of reparations. I may be an attention whore, but damn this is fun!

This. So much.

Yeah, it's a milestone. No, it's not a panacea.
