Ed, I’m calling to make a point about Barack Obama. Everyone is always saying he’s African-American. Well, let’s not forget he has another side of the family that’s white. So why are we focusing on him being African-American when half of him is white? I think Dr. King finally got his dream realized when two races came together in one person — Mr. Obama — to make one president. I think the dream’s been finally realized, and people should realize that we finally have one race for a president.

The African half of his heritage has been a focus because we have never before hand an African-American nominee for president of the United States. That he is half-white does not subtract from that significance. —Ed
