It was inevitable there would be stories about how black Americans will be staying home next Tuesday to watch the Obama inauguration instead of mopping floors and busing restaurant tables.
Yeah, I know I'm being a little tough and probably would have assigned this kind of story if I was still a newspaper editor, but it just doesn't sit quite right considering that there weren't stories about white people staying home for the Bush inaugurations as a similar gesture of racial solidarity.
