"A Brief Black Liberal Rant"

Valuable post from the invaluable Ta-Nehisi Coates. It reminds me, a white non-fan of the President, that still now, four years later, his presidency can't be judged by policy alone. An excerpt: "Not to go all race man, but I cut on the television and I see Barack Obama say, "I'll let the American people be the judge of that" and I get warm in a way that I know my people understand. And none of this was supposed to happen."
