Moving past racism

Time for a short retrospective thought on the presidential election.

We elected an African-American to the highest office. It doesn't mean that racism is gone from America, nor mean that he won the election because of some sort of national feeling of Affirmative Action. Barack Obama won because we felt that he was the candidate who could lead this nation in the direction we want it to go.

So now, we can say that we, as a nation, have finally achieved a small part of Dr. King's dream. We looked at the candidates and we judged them not by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character.
