When I first heard that he had won the Nobel Peace Prize it was not really that big of a deal to me. But then when I was riding in the car with my dad to work listening to NPR it kind of hit me. At first my blackness kicked in. I thought well the First Black American President should win more than a Nobel Peace Prize because that is an accomplishment that is prize worthy. Maybe not like a $100,000 gift certificate to the Polo store or Polo section in Macys, a Tour of the Jordan Factor while being able to grab anything you like or a years supply of chicken, watermelon, red flavored kool-aid, and menthols but something none the less. And then when I heard them talking I thought does he really deserve it. Part of me says yes and the other part says no. No because it is simply too early, and while he has done a lot it has not been much. But the reason that I say yes is because he is in my opinion the first World American President. Bush had an America is number one and the rest of the world sucks donkey balls mentality. Barack is about bringing change not just to America but also to the world. Hopefully the impact of his massive world appeal will be felt and he will be able to make a great change in the world. Let me also say I have a lot respect for how humble he was about the whole situation. Many people would think the first black president would probably accept it by 1. Thanking God and Jesus or a combination, 2.giving a shout to all the haters, 3.telling his father that he misses him and knows he is looking out for him, 4.pouring one out for the homies that are not there, 5.shouting out to his baby mama and his kids, 6.shouting out to his sponsor or his parole officer, 7.being interrupted by a white man tell him to shut up and he is a liar, and 8. then dropping the mic as he walks off stage.
