Well, moments ago Barack Obama was declared the winner of the Presidential election. Amazing.
When I was about eleven years old, I asked a black kid in my class to come over to my house. He wanted to, but he asked, "Are you sure your mom won't mind?" I honestly didn't know what he was talking about. "Why?", I asked. He answered, "Because I'm black."
The United States is a better place today. The coming years are going to be horrible, and Obama will probably get some of the blame (undeservedly). But this is going to give people some hope, at least for now.
