I think if we waited around for "the right time" it might never have happened. Race relations are better now than 50 years ago but things haven't changed nearly enough.
Whether it's fate, God, the cosmos, or chance, Obama is going to be our president. I tend to think race relations needed a huge shove whether some people are ready for it or not.
As for the FB status reports, I haven't seen a single bad one. I guess that's because almost all of my friends are Democrats.
The others are at least mature and rational human beings who are only disappointed because of political ideals not the color of Obama's skin.
