Agitator Radley Balko posted a nice message of pride which got this in the comments:
If “we’ve truly moved beyond race”, then no one would be making such a big deal about the US’ first dark-skinned president.
I see where that’s coming from, but here’s why making a big deal about this dark-skinned president means we’ve “moved beyond race”: The skin color of our next president won’t be a big deal at all.
It’s kind like how Geraldine Ferraro and Hillary Clinton put us in a position where nobody much cared that the Republican vice-presidential candidate was a woman.
