The history made in O's election was not made by
Obama, and it was not made by Black people.
It was made by the masses ( although minority)
of White working people who voted for Obama.
The majority of white people did not vote for Obama,
but the minority who voted for him was critical
to victory. More White people voted for Obama
than Black people. There were appeals to
racism made by the Republicans and
rightwingers in the election. The sufficiently
large White vote for Obama amounts to a
historic repudiation of this racism , and the
larger racist legacy of American history.
If Obama had lost, I would have been attributing
it to racism. Since he won,
I have got to say "it" was anti-racism.
The division of the US working class by racism
is the main division of it. The history in the
election of Obama is especially that masses
of White working class people voted for a Black
candidate for President. Glory to the White
American anti-racist spirit and sentiment.
John Brown's soul is marching on !
