It’s so disappointing, what happened. I so clearly remember how I felt that night in November 2008. Wow! We’ve gotten over it. America’s finally gotten OVER it. We had finally conquered our racism. W had finally taken a historic step beyond racism. We’ve grown up.” I was so hopeful and so proud of my country. We just proved to the world that we’re bigger, and better, and beyond that old shit.

Well, that didn’t last long. I remember thinking to myself, maybe it’s still too soon. Maybe we dated to think we were ready but then we woke up the next morning...

So disappointing.

Dammit.
