There sure is a lot of vitriol on this thread. I like this kinda of ‘first’. Not a big media hyped fake first. No just a random moment. This shows us how far we have come. How far we have REALLY come, not how far some fake hyped event can make it look like we have.
This stuff matters. Yeah affirmative action is crap and all that... we all know that. But my parents can remember when there were ‘white only’ water fountains for crying out loud. Sometimes it is nice to look up and realize how far we have come. I find it heartwarming. Unlike the crew of that 777 these ladies apparently knew how to land.
I agree completely.
