I have never been prouder to be an American than now. The election of Barack Obama to President shows that for the majority of Americans, race is less important than policy. However, there remain those for whom race is key. I'm sure there are many Americans angry that a black man is president-elect. However, those people are few, and will soon have to adapt to reality; Obama is president and he is a black man. Therefore, this is not only a historic event, but a great learning opportunity. I hope that all Americans will benefit from Obama's win and attain a higher level of mental health.
