Today we have President Elect Obama. I know this a historic moment. The African American community is beyond proud. I share this joy with them as many others do. What I want to stress right now though is this simple truth, Barack Obama was not elected by African Americans alone. While he carried the AA vote handidly, AAs only make up 13% of our population. Barack Obama is not going to be an African American President that only represents our African American population. He was not put into the White House by only AAs. He is our President whether we are black, white, yellow, red, brown, or even purple with pink polka dots!!! I think perhaps Colin Powell says it best.
