It was definitely very very scary for me. Due to the unfortunate racism in this country, I honestly was waiting for a shot to ring out. I'm really glad that it didn't. I know my mom, who is catholic, remembers people saying that catholic could never become president and then we had Kennedy. And I remember the mentality of a black person never becoming president when I was a kid. It was never outright said, but when I would ask the question in school, there was always that vibe. But thankfully all that has changed.
I just hope that he can live up to everyone's expectations. They are basically calling him another Kennedy, which is really hyping him up, and it would suck if this ends up hurting him in a year or two.
