You are presenting context - this is an historic moment - the first non-white leader nominated to lead a major Western Country.
Barack Obama respect is due - Democratic party members of America take a bow! Despite all the facial problems you are light years ahead of the rest of the Western World. This is an unbelievable moment in history.
I doubt anyone on DU has an idea how closely this is being followed across the Caribbean. Normally only 'we' political animals and academics follow US elections this closely. They just had 'breaking news' in Jamaica announcing this. Damn!! I am in tears for all my ancestors. :cry: We lived to see this day.
5. agreed.....but let's not start celebrating just yet.......
....let's first make sure we get the first african american candidate for US president into the white house. then i will crack open a red stripe and propose a toast with my jamaican brothers and sisters to a real victory! in fact, sice we're talking jamaica, i'll go farther than just drinking a beer!
