You know... I really don't think you understand that racism is not just a skin colour thing. It is also dependent on a position of power... one race over another.
For blacks to be celebratory over a black man gaining the highest office in the US is not racist. It is celebrating an idea that a group of people (in this case a racial group) has managed to overcome hundreds (thousands?) of years of oppression to gain something nobody thought would be possible. What they are celebrating is increasing equality. Another step in the direction where racism is *not* an issue.
This is not a double standard. It would be a double standard if there was equality amongst the races. There isn't. We are not there yet.
