Almost everyone on the left and a surprising number of media, journalistic and even political cartoon types on the right, seem to be so agog over the fact that a "Black Man" is the presumptive nominee for the Democratic Party, that the nagging question who he is and what his policies would do to America, is, for them, moot.
To those who are so inebriated with the euphoric delight that you have cleansed forever, your racial guilt, a sobering note: We are electing the person that will lead the United States of America and all the people therein, not an icon of pigmentation.
To paraphrase Martin Luther King, we must look at the person for their character, not the color of their skin. Far too many seem more mesmerized by an ebony idol than concerned about the consequences of choosing symbolism over substance.
