Many African-American historians will tell you that Obama is not the first black president. Send me a comment if you need help researching that fact. But, it's nothing wrong with having cultural pride for your own peeps. At the same time, change in the white house is not limited to color or race. Therefore, the fact that Obama is a "black" man will have no significant bearing on him being an effective president.
Some African-Americans voted for Obama simply because of his skin color and I know many blogs have addressed this fact. Many of the young urban youth, for example, were more in tune with Obama's personality than where he stood on political issues. At anyrate, changing America's state of disparity is what we really should be concerned with. Furthermore, one thing that Barack promised was change.
It didn't take a genious to realize that this would mean revamping American politics by kicking out old concepts, and implementing more efficient policies, procedures, laws and regulations. Considering the overall theme that Barack upheld, I'm going to let many voters slide who had no idea where he stood on significant political issues. Why? Because the better man is in office now!
Our people in Los Angeles were estatic about Obama's win. On face value, some didn't look to informed-but it's all good!!
