Wow

Wow.

Whatever your politics are, you have to admit that last night, something pretty amazing happened. In the country which once enslaved blacks, counted them as 3/5 of a person, and not until 43 years ago were they fully guaranteed the right to vote, we have elected by a majority vote an African-American President.

It shouldn't be an issue. We shouldn't be marveling at our progress. But we have to, if only for a little while.

Obama's policies aren't inherently "black."

He might even be whiter than me.

I didn't say anything about his policies being black. In fact, his policies are racially-neutral.
