You are wrong on two counts. This country has been racially divided for over 200 years; this animosity has been gradually declining, but it is still very much present (as the reactions to the Trayvon Martin trial demonstrate). And electing any president may increase or decrease racial tensions, but cannot eliminate them. Only time, economic justice and equality can do that. Integrated marriages are a good sign, but a small one.
I still claim that the best path forward (and that’s what we all want, isn’t it?) is for there to be jobs for people. -If Republicans truly wanted to help minorities without using welfare, they would support jobs programs or come up with their own. -Unless they do not want to move forward.

He who knows not and knows not that he knows not is a fool.

Getting closer though the cons are trying to drag us back to Jim Crow days.

Did you really say “We’ve got to start calling a spade a spade again.” Did you really?? Oh, my gosh, she did.
