Elections

I think many Americans elected BO because he is black. In the past people could have voted for a black man despite his color, and it is progress (and before that would not or could not vote for blacks etc). But when will people ignore the color altogether? That will be something.

It was a step in that direction, but definitely not the first step. And I am not really sure how big it was. Although this is one of those cases where perception means a lot, and if a lot of people perceive it as important (which they do), it becomes important.

No, not the first. You are right.
