How do black and mulatto answerers feel about race relations today after Obama's win?

I think there was no question which candidate was better suited for the economic mess we are in, but I personally wondered if non-black voters would be willing to vote for Obama. I thought they would, but I didn't know.

I feel like every good feeling I have ever felt about my fellow Americans was justified yesterday. The vast majority of Americans, even I would say the vast majority of Republicans who voted Against Obama on security, abortion, or fundamental republican tax philosophy, did not vote against him on race. Today I really do feel that a person of ANY race or either sex can become President. That is a tremendous gift for which I can only say "thank you".

Update:

Well, some might find it offensive, but I am mixed and do not. I actually like the sound of the word. It seems too melodic to be insulting, but that's just me.

    Please don't quote me on this, but I was told by a few biracial people, including my sister that the term "mulatto" is like calling someone the N word. I was told to use the term biracial. I don't call my sister that, I just call her by her name.

    I so agree with what you have to say though. I was thinking that last night. I usually think that there is good in everyone, but I have learned the hard way that is not always the case. But now, I feel good about our country, that we worked together for a better cause.
