Above: A cartoon where 50 Cent mocks Rick Ross. Can’t this wait 8 years? Barack Obama was sworn in as America’s 44th President on Tuesday, January 20th, 2009.  By doing so, he became the first Black Commander-in-Chief this country ever had.  Subsequently he, along with his family, became positive role models for Black people everywhere, and [...]
