This post is awesome simply because it draws the line between being happy about Obama's role in America a black man, and his politics. This distinction was soo needed at my church following the election--hurtful and inflammatory comments were made about African Americans on Facebook by some of the youth in the larger fellowship. I cried for days. The rift still persists 4 years later though the elders openly addressed it with the young people. No one seemed to understand how we (as blacks) could be happy to see a "familiar face" in the Oval Office, despite the discomfort with some policies. We were lambasted and told to "get over" discrimination. SO HARD. Thank you for engaging in an intelligent discussion about this. Sorry I'm a little late! Lol.
