People aren't voting for Barack Obama because he's black... |
|
They're voting for him because of the content of his character...among other things.
This is why it's so historic. As a nation, for the most part, we're getting past race. Sure, we've got a ways to go. Some bigots and racists will try to pull us back, but we won't go back. We refuse to go back.
