... what a hugely monumental change it is to have an African American as the President of the United States.
This is a website with a collection of postcards and photographs of lynchings in the US. Not all of the victims depicted are black, but you will notice that most were.
And now, just look at this. Would you just look at that.
No wonder the Kenyans are celebrating. Can you imagine being seen as the poor and destitute and backwards (or worse) for centuries, and then suddenly have one of your own become the leader of the most powerful country in the world?
It's just freaking amazing.
