New from Robin Mathews. In my mind, always worth reading.
The victory of Barack Obama - in the U.S.A. – is a gigantic victory. The centuries-long obsessive racism of the population has been modified dramatically. The size of the victory is not, however, in the popular vote – which was very close – but in the racial break-through. It cannot be discounted by the most cynical of observers. A majority of U.S. voters is willing to see a “black man” occupy the White House – a revolution in the state of the U.S. mind or a large part of that mind.
Barack Obama and Canada - Vive
