72. you missed my point

Black people often don't have equality of opportunity, and many African-Americans still believe that a black candidate can't get elected president.

Calling Michele Obama's life the classic American success story is incorrect, because that success story has been denied African-Americans, until very, very recently. Her story is historically new.

Why should anyone take pride in a success game stacked against them? When and if Obama gets elected will be a symbol that it is no longer stacked, but the verdict isn't in, yet.
