I feel personally sad...for if a black person takes over presidency it means "humans have taken stride" does it...? really? so if he had lost to Hilary and she had become president, would it have meant that human race had gone many strides backward? I would not consider a society developed as long people see blackness in Obama foremost or female gender in Hilary before their personalities, credentials and their other faculties. Respect humans, their natural colors or genders as they are, do not try to change them to your liking. Accept as they are and respect them, not as you want them to be, only then you will discover their real beauty and grow to the maturity level which our society requires. Do not say that society has developed because a black has become president, say society has developed because the better person was chosen among all; the very mentioning of the color rather then the faculties, abilities and other credentials, speaks racism is there...only not ready to be admitted
