Is it time for a woman to lead? Yes. Is it time for a black person to lead? Yes. |

Both are historical, and both have a great chance of happening. Let's not minimize one or the other- a woman in the WH is not a bigger accomplishment than a black person winning the presidency or vice-versa.
Let's rejoice, because either way we will see something great happening in November.

5. The Native Americans might argue with that. |

Not to minimize the terrible terrible things done to black folks over the centuries, but I'm still amazed how invisible my people are to the average American.
