Get used to it. The former seat of the Confederacy just picked a black man for President of the United States, and this election is now over.

I fully appreciate the fact that this was a historic election.. However has every single person forgotten that Mr. Obama is a multiracial man, 1/2 white raised by a white mother and closest to his white grandparents. WHY b/c his "African-American" father left his life at an early age not to be seen again for YEARS!! Also I do hope this helps biracial children everywhere---including my own son, who for the most part are harrassed by their darker skinned peers!!!
