    I'm saying that the nation giving itself a collective pat on the back for being so open minded isn't progress at all. it is an impediment to real progress.

      I think I understand what your saying, but we do need to celebrate ours victories along the way. I don't think anyone that is pushing for meaningful change thinks the job is done. Obama's win was hard fought. Despite how electoral math works, I do not consider his victory a landslide. The popular vote spread is around 6 points. That is not a big margin. I am from south Georgia. I know black-white racism all too well. Despite the fact that Georgia went to McCain, this was an historic win and I think it should be celebrated and the momentum should continue.
