We have yet to agree on any issue of race that has ever been raised by either of us. Obviously, this is not going to be that time either. I don't think you're hearing my point; I also accept that it's probable that I'm not saying it well. I prefer, personally, to see it as us electing the right person, regardless of race, for the job, and avoiding electing the wrong person, regardless of race, for the job. The media seems to want to spend a lot of time saying that we've elected a black person; I am pretty much expecting someone to say that it was amazing that he wasn't carrying a gun at the time, or something similar. I don't know what your specific wish to see this as is, but it seems to be neither of those, given that it seems to assume that a) the media is actually reporting something newsworthy (and that's another issue I have with it: I already know he's a POC, I've known that from day one. Continuing to say it doesn't shock me, so shut up, media.) and b) that I'm trying to dictate whether or not this is a momentous occasion on a personal level, for persons who never thought they'd see this day. So. We don't agree, and we're not going to.
