Yeah obama being elected is a big step for racial unity and all. But MLK's message wasn't for blacks to be equal with whites. His message was worldwide peace, unity and equality. I think MLK would be proud of the fact that racial unity has come this far. But he would be dissappointed in Obama's policies for more war and suffering and hatred. Its up to the people to stop all the wars. And to realize MLK's true message. One man can't change the world.

I am a white American and proud that Americans of all race pulled their heads out of their ass and voted for Barack Obama!! I am happy that for once most American stood up and voiced their opinion instead of letting someone else decide for them year after year. Power to the People!!

I dont get what white people has against black people. Since the white people brought the black people to America and turned them to slaves, and now they hate them? Its just pathetic! I hope Obama will be next president, and white people are jealous 'cause they dont have any rolemodel like Malcolm X or Martin Luther King jr

the undecided voters matter too, and 20% more undecided voters would vote for Obama over McCain.

If thats what you believe, why keep making the distinction?

because blacks were, and are treated different, and mostly worse than whites and I believe this is a big, historical moment which all people should be really proud of. Finally Barack Obama has shown that you can be a black man, and be in the most powerful, and important position that is. He is the proof that things now have changed, and that you can go beyond predjudice for a bigger purpose. A man that proves that the world now has moved forward! Big up Barack Hussein Obama.
