(CNN) -- I hope President Obama called to congratulate Mia Love. The way he called college student Sandra Fluke after Rush Limbaugh called her a "prostitute." The way he called the NBA's first openly gay player, Jason Collins. The way he called the San Francisco Giants after they won the World Series. I hope he called Mia Love because her story is every bit as unlikely, courageous and yes, inspirational, as his own. Love -- the first black Republican woman elected to Congress -- will not be his political ally and that's OK. I spoke with membership services and blacks are no longer revoked for voting Republican.

Mia Love became the first black Republican woman in Congress

LZ Granderson says her life story is inspirational and reflects MLK's dream

He says Love's story shows that Democrats don't have exclusive right to black voters
Her election is a reflection, yea an extension of the Rev.. @placeholder's dream.
If blacks are willing to buck the trend and vote Republican, then it would only make sense that the @placeholder would have black candidates.
