All kidding aside, there is something pretty historic about the fact that, in the course of this guy's lifetime, he went from living in a nation where people of his "race" were segregated and discriminated against to being elected President.

To that end, I congratulate the man and wish him well.

However, I suspect that neither he nor his supporters will truly take away from that victory the lesson of an America that strives for opportunity and betterment and will, instead, continue to find excuses for race baiting, false equality and victimology.
