carter: r u a little excited ;)?
lang8383: hard to be excited about something that may or may not pan out over the next 4 years
lang8383: it's not like on jan 20, american will change in the least
carter: yeah, but the making history part is exciting!
lang8383: making history?
lang8383: it's just a president
carter: electing a black president!
lang8383: rofl
lang8383: who cares
lang8383: he's an american
lang8383: and he's half white
lang8383: that should really show that race just doesnt matter
lang8383: but people still harp on it, it's sad
carter: i think it's phenomenal for our country and shows how far we've come. i mean there were separate bathrooms and water fountains when mom and dad were alive!!
carter: that's not why i voted for him but i think it's worth noting
lang8383: and that's all been corrected over the last 40 years
lang8383: i think it's a useless fact
lang8383: and i think it's depressing that people bring attention to it
lang8383: we're never going to be race agnostic if everyone is forever talking about it
lang8383: first (race here) to do X
carter: i guess but it's definitely worth noting, just like if hilary had been elected as the first woman
carter: it's just amazing to see progress
lang8383: yea that would've been amazing
lang8383: i mean, women STILL have separate bathrooms!
