Analysis: Obama makes history but can he win?

Black president.

Those are the two words you heard sprinkled sometimes emotionally, and often historically into commentators’ analysis last night. It’s the possibility that Senator Barack Obama’s campaign now looks at, after clinching the democratic nomination Tuesday. He will likely be the first African-American nominee of a major party. And as CNN senior political analyst David Gergen said, 200 years after the slave trade was stopped, and 46 years after he was born into the heart of the civil rights movement, so many are looking at what the possibility of Barack Obama’s candidacy means to the way the United States views ethnic and ideological unity. Those thoughts have many ramifications and they will play out in November as voters determine if Obama can win. http://www.cnn.com/2008/POLITICS/06/04/lui.obama.victory/index.html#cnnSTCText

My Comment:

The implication of a Black president in the US may not seems obvious to people in the US especially Black people. But this opens a lot of doors beyond what anybody can comprehend.

 When I was growing up outside the United State, the ONLY thing we see about Black in the US is what we see on the TV. And that is MUSIC and SPORT and the question then becomes these people can’t do anything else..(But they are doing well in business world)
