Wouldn't that be wonderful?

Polls are showing that most Americans like the black guy more than the white guy. Because he's more personable. Yes, nicer. That's amazing. Didn't use to be that way. Because America has been a racist nation. Right from the beginning. But maybe not as racist as it once was. Could be that we Americans are moving in the right direction. Away from racism. Toward open-mindedness. And fairness. Away from bigotry. I'm even beginning to believe that the black guy might win a second term as president. Over the white guy, who represents the party of diehard bigots. I like to think of myself as an eternal optimist. That over the long haul, things get better. Wouldn't that be wonderful? If I don't have to write-off America. --Jim Broede
