Thanks for sharing. I made a point early on of trying to always think of Obama as half-white, just to break that mental conception. So, when he succeeds, I think “Wow, a decent white Presiden.” I grew up in North Carolina and knew what treatment Obama could expect, and has come to pass. But despite that, and the way lightness of skin is prized in so many cultures, I have high hopes for where the next generations are headed in comparison to generations of the past.
