Fear of a Black President

Sen. Obama: "I have become a symbol of the possibility of America returning to our best traditions."

Now, the man has been running on a "hey, vote for the black guy for once" theme since the beginning of the Democratic primaries. So, I'm kind of curious about what those past traditions might be... slavery and peanut butter? Don't get me wrong, peanut butter beats anything that McCain has on offer, but still.
