Kaz, I don't think anyone has forgotten 200 plus years of oppression over night (I know us Blacks haven't)...but we are holding on to what President elect Obama has said---and that's Hope & Change. People voting him into office showed action...showed they were ready for change and that change is happening now! “I hope people continue to realise that.”

As I mentioned to J yesterday, I feared I was getting all curmudgeonly on this. It was a great moment for the United States, and here I was stomping all over it when it was barely over. But this is only the beginning. I hope people continue to realise that. Ah, thanks for that, Ebony. As I mentioned to J yesterday, I feared I was getting all curmudgeonly on this.

I see your point, but I do think it is a step in the right direction. I agree with you about folks using it as excuses and they'll definately throw the fact that they did indeed vote a Black man into office. I don't think it will be a step backwards because this generation is not going to let it go backwards. Its a little too early to really tell but I can see immediately that now people who didn't have "hope" now have hope. A generation without hope will perish and now that hope has been restored, just maybe, we're moving in a positive direction. “It may even end up being a step backwards, although I hope I’m wrong.”
