Are we really ready?

So Obama finally won the Democratic nomination last week. It seemed like that race was never going to officially end even though it was over a long time ago. So now what? Are we really ready for a Black president? Sadly I don't think we are. I want to trust him, but it's hard because he's a politician. It's just the business for them to make us believe whatever they have to say so that they can get our votes. After that who is to say that they will do what they say they will? Obama is so different in so many different ways that it makes it hard not to root for him. Then there are those who still won't vote for him strictly based on his race, even Democrats. They won't admit it, but to say that his race has nothing to do with your choice without being asked about his race means it is about his race to me. I don't know if we'll be ready for this even in my lifetime, just like those before me were saying the same thing. That moment is here for all us. Now we will see if racism is dead.
