Killian: How did you come to that conclusion? Because at the end of the day, former President Obama was the first African-American president in history.
Ahmadi: Absolutely. I attended the inauguration ceremony during his first term. I grew up outside Washington, DC in the '80s and '90s, went through the system as an institutionalized Democrat, went through a lot of the experiences that young black men go through. Good and bad.
