"it might finally put to rest the idea that it's simply impossible for a "Black man" (actually mixed race) to be elected president...and that the world would end if it ever happened"

Me too LH but I believe there are forces at work that capitalize on racism and do not want it to go away. They use race warfare, victimhood, class warfare to their advantage.

I also believe that the healthcare insurers and providers profit more from the "affordable health care act". Their lobbyists were hired to write the bill.

Now that we have agreed on a few things we will be called evil stupid crazy whatever, to counter act our ideas.

There is a great deal we disagree on but what matters most is what people agree on. That leads to peace and harmony but others want to constantly bitch and moan and argue as if that makes the world better.
