Not to be negative, but its about damn time!!!!
I can remember not too terribly long ago (maybe around 15 years), I went out to lunch with a coworker who happened to be a black guy. These two white dudes kept staring at us and giving us dirty looks. I was actually completely clueless! I was like, what on earth is their problem? It wasn't until later that the guy explained that it was because I was a white woman out with a black man! I was just so bowled over! I was like, no, no, no, that can't be it. But it was. I now have a beautiful, and I mean BEAUTIFUL cousin I used to babysit who now dates black men exclusively. And I back her 100%! Not that a person should discriminate, but if you are attracted to a certain type of guy, that's your business and nobody else's concern.
I would have liked to have seen the first woman president, but the first black president is equally as impressive a breakthrough. A woman president is next, and if she's also black, gay, and an atheist, all the better! Its just time we stopped picking and choosing what is right and wrong, and start working together to be better people as a whole.
Woohoo!!!!
