I just wanted to point that out because I'm sick of Americans patting themselves on the back. STFU Americans. Breaking down racial barriers doesn't mean jackcrap if you run your mouths about it. It's a big deal. But you shouldn't be proud of yourselves just because you're white and voted for a "black" man. That's just... ugh.

YAY CLOSING GITMO.
People shouldn't feel proud as individuals for it, but they can feel proud of their society for doing it. And at least the US is able to admit to itself that it has a race issue and have a debate about it.

Edit: Also, aside from people pointing out "He's only half-black so it's not as big a deal", has anyone actually noticed or cared that he's not 100% black?
