So we’re cowardly about race, and always have been?

What about the civil rights movement? What about the courage shown by people of all races to confront segregation and discrimination?

What about members of Congress at the time, including REPUBLICANS such as Senator Everett Dirksen, who helped pass the Civil Rights Act of 1964???????

I think that as time goes on, more people will realize the election of Obama symbolizes the fact that race is not holding people back from achieving whatever they want to achieve in this country. We’ve now had a black president, many black cabinet members, black Secretaries of State, black senators, black governors, black mayors, black congressmen, black Supreme Court justices, etc.

I know that many black people are grappling with poverty, however, is race really their major handicap?

Clarence Thomas isn’t black!
It only counts if the black person isn’t a trader conservative.

Not to mention just electing a self professed black man as President.
