After Obama’s win, white backlash festers in US – Yahoo News
From Derrick on FriendFeed.
“The vitriol is flailing out shotgun-style,” says Mr. Levin. “They recognize (White Supremacist and Nationalist groups) Obama as a tipping point, the perfect storm in the narrative of the hate world – the apocalypse that they’ve been moaning about has come true.”
This was not unexpected. Sadly I expect it to get worse. On the bright side (if there can be such a thing when it comes to racial hatred) perhaps this will help expose the deep divisions that still exist in this country and help us to come to grips with them. Hopefully we can move past just dialogue and actually start taking concrete actions to attack this problem head on. We’re not a post-racial eutopia yet. We’re far from that regardless of what some people say but that doesn’t mean we should stop striving for it.

I don’t watch South Park much. I can probably count the number of episodes I’ve seen on both hands but this post election episode is hilarious.
The election was just a front. Obama and McCain are actually members of an Ocean’s Eleven style crew and there’s more to Sarah Palin than meets the eye. Check out the clip and watch the full episode for even more election night shenanigans.

I never thought I’d see this day. Obama won. A black man in the White House. INCREDIBLE!
I’m stunned. I wish my grandma was here physically to witness this. I get to tell my kids and grand children that I witnessed this moment with my own eyes. Eyes that are close to tears as I type this.
I pray that our country can move on now and start repairing the rifts that are deeply dividing us.

Great pic of Obama doing his favorite election day "good luck" activity. Not quite Michael Jordan but pretty cool still.
