I truly don't know if America as a whole is ready. But, when I was 9, a black man could not get a haircut in my hometown. My 9 year old daughter has seen a black man become the presumptive nominee of a major political party. That is enough for me right now.

Maybe.


And: when I was 9, women wore beehives and greeted their men with a martini at the door after a hard day's work. Could they make a legit run at POTUS? Ha!

My 9 year old daughter has seen differently. Good enough?

Again, maybe.

Okay, probably not.
