I am also born from a white mother and black father and I know from personal experience that people look at me as black instead of white. Obama didn’t make an issue of his race and I don’t either, I don’t think other people should. Regardless of his race, this country was ready for a democrat in the office. President Bush has lost the nation’s respect and it seems that most of the people I talked to want a change of pace. I am pretty sure Mrs. Clinton would also have won.

Despite all of this, I can say that when they announced that Obama had won, I was happy to be an American. This is a huge leap in RACIAL EQUALITY and also (almost) GENDER EQUALITY

Tom, you just like alot of people will have to get over YOUR issues with race and the fact that America is changing….the fact that his mother is white has nothing to do with the fact that he still has had to live through and overcame the African American experience. Don’t let fear rattle you… everything will be okay!

it’s interesting that obama has been campaigning full time for 2 years, after having served in the senate for about 18 months, before that in chicago for $12000 a year, yet, he has a home valued at close to 2 $million, and has had unliited millions for campaign money? how?
hopefully, he’ll do a good job with the mess we’re in, and he certainly has all the media glowing. katie couric talked as if we elected abe lincoln, while her cbs co-hort said ‘we need him to get to work tomorrow because this country is in a mess’. sound biased?
unbelievable words from a senior cbs anchor, but no suprise.
the celebration in detroit with guv was pathetic when you look at the shape this democratic state is in.
it is fitting that we have a minority in the white house, but let’s remember and give credit to his white mother and grand parents who raised him after his ‘dad’ moved on to other women and more booze when he was 18months old, privileged to be in this xountry from kenya.

It really is something. Although I voted for McCain I am proud that America has come this far and finally actually voting for an African-American and a woman (almost)to office. I also enjoyed the fact most American’s I have spoken with about the race did not seem like the were at all concerned with the fact that Obama is African-American.
