He's the only one really qualified to take the lead in the program, My Brother's Keeper,

I am so lucky to have lived this long to see him elected. It was something I never thought could happen, and I'm white. I can only imagine the pride that browns and blacks have in him. When he's not president of ALL the people, he will do more without being accused of favoritism. If he paid too much attention to racial problems, it would spoil the chances of another colored person from winning the presidency. The next one will do more.
