.maybe these [Conservative] women are well aware of their history, but dedicated to overcoming it, NOT complaining about it. Perhaps they choose to focus on the amazing successes of women and the unparalleled equality they have achieved in our country.”

Yep! :)

And if we are at this point, that’s a good thing, isn’t it?

Somebody told me there is residual sexism, residual racism, and that I just don’t understand because I’m a white man. OK, I will admit to being a white man, and not having walked in the shoes of others.

But it seems to me, that if there is residual discrimination, that the worst of the rampant discrimination of the past is long gone. And that there have never been greater opportunities in this country for women or people of any ethnic/racial minority.

Reminds me a bit of how the media cover anniversaries of major events related to discrimination, such as the anniversary of Brown vs. Board of Education, or the anniversary of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. They talk of how far we have come, but always have someone discussing how far we still have to go.

How far we still have to go to achieve true equality is never quite defined. But there’s always someone discussing that in spite of great progress, we still aren’t “there” yet.

Which makes me wonder, that to the liberals, will we ever be able to say we have achieve true equality of opportunity, and can put all the racism/sexism business to bed???
