Yesterday will be a memorable day for me in witnessing the first african-american president voted into office in the US of A. As sappy as it sounds it warms my heart and invigorates my hope for humanity.

I have to admit to being racist though, I wanted the african-american candidate to win, not because he is the better candidate but because of the symbolic meaning it has. Saying that he certainly seems to be a more than suitable man for the job. I wish him all the best in what are difficult and telling times for our planet and it’s inhabitants.
