A lesson to the world

Yes, the USA is giving a lesson to the world by voting for a candidate who is from African descent and electing him to the top job. I am particularly proud of you. In 1968, Martin Luther King was assassinated in Memphis, Tennessee and exactly 40 years later a Black American has been elected to be the president of the USA. Barack Obama, whose father was from Kenya, was elected on November 4th the 44th president of the US. It is a great day for democracy in the US but also a lesson to the world. Except some countries, such as Great Britain and eventually Brazil are able today to have a Black President. But a country like France is far from ready to cross this line. Actually the president is probably one of the worst one France has, in relation to racism. In any case, France will not for a long time elect a president who would be from African or Arab descent. The French who want to give lessons to the rest of the world in various areas, including in human rights and racism and anti-semitism, are the first who have those feelings toward people who are not WASPs.
I am proud of you Americans.
