If the world could vote...

So it's not about voting for him BECAUSE he is black --- no one OWES him the presidency for being black. But if he can win the presidency on his merits DESPITE the fact that he is black, it would show the world (and ourselves) that we are past the time when we let race hold a deserving person back in this country.
It would be stupid to vote FOR him because he is black. It would also be stupid to vote AGAINST him because he is black. I am voting for him becasue of his policies, character and temperment. The fact that he is a black man is totally beside the point. But the fact that the person I like for policies, character and temperment also happens to be a black man is something I am very happy about because I think it is time America fulfilled its promise to ALL of its citizens. It is a turning point.
