So join any group you want to, even if it's name refers to people of a certain skin color. But if you do, realize what you're doing.

The fact that America has elected her first Black President is something for all Americans to be proud of-- regardless of your political affiliation.

As a country and as individuals we have to get beyond that and get to his policies, etc. But recognizing the significance of his election is not racist.


In fact, to not recognize the significance of his election would be something that I would expect only from someone who was a bigot.
