Well, these are heavily-black areas, I suspect, and I can appreciate -- or at least try (mindful of the fact that I'm a white dude who grew up in the 'burbs) -- the emotions behind it.  Like some at FiveThirtyEight said, talking about the long lines for early voting in ATL: "This vote is 400 years in the making."  There's a personality cult to it, and that's just sort of an unfortunate effect of politics (all campaigns are based on personality cults to one degree or another), but I recognize that there's a lot of history playing out for a lot of people -- many of whom never believed it would in their lifetimes.

Same with Hillary and the history of a viable female candidate.  I didn't appreciate that as I should have.  It didn't really occur to me what it meant until my grandmother (big for Hil) passed away.

But, like I said, I'm a white guy.  We've got hundreds of years of presidents who look like me, so I'm, I guess, more cognizant of my own inability to fully appreciate the significance after this year.
