If someone was to say "Man, this country is going downhill - we elected a black man as president!" - a large majority of people (including myself) would take that as a racist statement, correct?
How come it's perfectly okay to so many people to make comments about how this country has "progressed" by electing a black man as president? Does that not inherently imply that our country is better because a black man is leading it? Meaning that the black president is better than any potential white president that could have been elected - based solely on the fact that he's black: i.e.: his race?
