Yes he did! I think this is a beautiful moment in history. This has been one of the most watched, followed and heavily weighed campaigns in my time and I wanted to recognize the significance of this win for this man.
Im not ashamed to say that I am equally pleased that the President elect has such a beautiful family with many hues of brown- from his daughters to his wife, that the President elect stood before the world and said the love of his life was dark skinned black woman and you could see in his face the pride he felt in that. I think this is profound image, black pride and black love being viable in this world today when countless people of the world and even blacks within the African diaspora doubt it, deny it and are ashamed of it. But he proved people wrong in that too. Yes he did!!
Ofcourse history is still being written but without doubt, I think President elect Obama's landslide win over a wealthy, elderly white man gives instant legitimacy to educated people within the African diaspora. In our lifetime?
Yes, in our lifetime, a qualified black man has earned his place in history and brought his family along as well!

I am excited that a well educated family man who is African American is the president. He inspires many people and his victory is a symbol of the changes America has gone through since the civil rights period. I hope that his presidency will change the negative image of African Americans as lazy, rapper wannabes and people from broken families.
That's a tall order. Obama is one man, an individual. There I dont think he alone can change the opinion of whole gender nor race of people. But certainly his win will do a lot for the image of the potential that people of color hold.
Barack Obama's win is a Testimony that Allah Ta'ala does as He wills. This absolutely has nothing what so ever to do with race but everything to do with the Decree that Muslims and Christians will unite which was prophisized by Our Beloved Nabi Kareem SAWS. I do not think his presidency is going to change those types of AA men at all. The remedy for the woes of AA men is to be Muslim, or God fearing, monothiestice Christian and follow His word and command and to follow the Sunnah of our Holy Rasul SAWS. This is their remedy. Allah is the only One that can change the hearts of men. And the only thing that will change their images is for them to change their behavior. But like you said they have a lazy mentality unless they are taught otherwise and it is fostered in them from when they are very young.
