Quote from African American Political Pundit: Obama's victory gives hope to the Black elderly who lived through the lynchings, the beatings, the dogs, impoverishment and the denial of human rights. The victory also engenders a new sense of power and heightened self-esteem among Black children and youth in America and throughout the world. In addition many white people are now enabled to feel a sense of release from the label of racists. Barack Obama freed their guilt.
