I 100% echo Powell's sentiment on this subject. Barack Obama was an American running for President who just happened to be black. I (and I think millions of others) voted for him because he was a good candidate, not because I did or did not want a black man in the highest office in the land.
It irks me every time someone cheapens the accomplishment by making it about race. Like that freakin guy on CNN last night who kept bringing it back to that. Don't get me wrong, I'm very very happy that we as a nation have moved far enough along that we approved and elected a black president, but I'm kinda already sick of hearing about it. I want to forget about that and move on with fixing what the last 8 years seems to have systematically ruined.
