Sigh
Personally I have never been one to make my decisions based on the views of bigots. If people are not "ready" for a black (or a woman) as President, then they are not people I consider worth listening to. And anyone who does would have refused to stop slavery because it would be unpopular, or would have refused the Civil Rights Movement because it would lose us the South. Sometimes you just gotta do the right thing.
Their arguement could just as easily be turned against Hillary as well. People who aren't "ready" to vote for a black probably aren't likely to vote for a woman either, though there are exceptions.
So let me just borrow a phrase: if we aren't ready now, when will we be? If we aren't the ones to finally accept a black (or woman) president then who will be?
