They should view it as a banner day in African American history. I don't care if a candidate for president is black or white, male or female, if the person is qualified for the job or at least more qualified than those that he/she is running against, then that person should be voted into office.
Whether or not Pres. Obama is more qualified than Hillary, I know the American public were not ready for Hillary to be the leader of the free world and not in a hurry to get Bill back in the White House either.
