Letting go of the past, doesnt mean you cant celebrate history, and make a big deal out of it. Who is punishing anyone? By celebrating the 1st ever black president of the United States? I think the fact that an african american president is elected, and celebrated by everyone, can only be commended. I am more concerned about people who are actually annoyed by that. The next black president of the US obviously wont be celebrated like that.
In any case, most people cant relate to the enormity of the events, so probably will never get it.

The race issue was seperate from the barack statement hence the gap and me pointing out that I was commentating on Obama.
First of, i'm not annoyed by Barrack being black and if that's what you meant (I apologise in advance if i've misunderstood) then I am very offended. I'm annoyed that people get hung up on his race and how it often displaces the fact that he has brilliant potential and will help in changing America for the best.
