Re: Obama - perspectives
Well a white man like me is probably no better qualified to judge either, but fwiw, I don't think it's condescending at all. I think you summed up very nicely what lots of people - members of the human race - are feeling. I've no idea who (if any) on here is black but I'd be interested to hear their thoughts too. In fact anyone who isn't white, since that's the real significance too. When he reached through that magic 270, I felt it to be a fantastic symbolic victory for non-whites everywhere, including those close to me. At the risk of sounding mawkish, it felt like we all somehow got a bit closer that night.
