Even now, they're trying to stop at least Democrats from voting by trying to compare voting lists to foreclosure lists...

So now that after all of that, a Black man is FINALLY able to get elected as president is a great thing for us...I never thought that I would see this in my lifetime....

So maybe for you, you can look past skin color because YOU NEVER HAD TO...But me on the other hand is very happy about what is about to happen
