Eric Holder was sworn in as attorney general today, and evidently the most important thing isn't his policies or viewpoints, it's the fact that he is the first African-American to hold this title. I'm all for equality, but just like when Obama was elected, wouldn't it be nice if it wasn't such a big deal. Just judge them based on their intellect, not make a huge deal because they aren't white. Seriously, who cares if we "elected" (sorry, I hate the electoral college) an African-American. It really doesn't matter, if he does something stupid I'll criticize him for it just like I have every other president. But I guess we'll see how long they keep saying first African-American whatever. If the media can finally get over that maybe so will the populous. But I guess I should stop dreaming.
