Is America ready for a minority president? No. But we weren't ready for any president that screwed up. Hell, our country wasn't even ready for Easy Mac, but it's here and we're dealing with it one day at a time.

Not necessarily radical change in terms of policies and processes but radical change in terms of Blacks/Minorities (especially the youth) seeing that they could actually one day become president. Because of the current climate, this is something that most Blacks/Minorities (even among the qualified) do not seriously even consider.
