Exactly When Will We Be Ready for a Black President?

I'm amused by the many quotes I've read from people around the country about why they won't vote for Obama. It isn't that they have anything against him, per se, but you see, well ... um, they won't vote for Obama because, well, America just isn't ready for a black president yet.

I love that they don't have the courage to say what they really think - that they personally aren't ready for a black president. But I love how they spin it so that they are just altruistically placing a vote for Clinton because, you know, America (not them personally of course) aren't ready for a black president yet.

And to a person, every single one of these quotes are attributed to people who would undoubtedly attest to the fact that some of their best friends are black.
