While he does have a point [if not necessarily well conveyed], it's actually better that the first black president came from this side...discredits the old "hahaha those Democrats are such liberal racists" stupidity than from the party that already over pats itself on the back for freeing the slaves.
I figure if there's gonna be racial polarization, better to have it firmly away from a base that would otherwise have kept using those tactics as a discreditor to the party in the House that got CRA '64 through.
Besides, they already have the first minority Senators and female Congressperson [but NOT the first female Senator].
