At last, a black president! Black Americans have showed that everything is possible, no one is greater or less, we are equal now. I'm so proud of African-Americans’ progress because they have suffered a lot. Without any reason they’ve gone through rejections, hatred, victimization, discrimination and much more than others can ever imagine. But they never lost hope. They kept moving forward whether in politics or movies or in any field. They were tolerant, serene, hard-working, and lovable, and that’s why they are the winners. I couldn’t be happier for African-Americans and of course our bright, loving president, Mr. Barack Obama.
