		<description>Retire,
sure AA applies to Native Americans too. BTW, it's Lakota not Sioux anymore.</description>

		<description>Reading these comments I can understand how the GOP came to be the all-white party. 

I'm trying to think of a brand that's fallen further, faster than the GOP.  All that comes to mind is "Members Only" jackets.  Or maybe "House of Blues" after people realized it was mostly about Bruce Willis playing harmonica. The GOP's gone from being a party to a punch line.</description>

		<description>El, no, the Souix are not required to live there any more than those who live in the ghettos that Jesse Jackson is always harping about are required to live in those ghettos.

But I wouldn't expect you to understand the plight of the most persecuted segment of our society.  After all, affirmative action rules do not apply to Native Americans or Asians.

The cost of this Obamamaniagala would have provided everyone of those Souix with $4,600.  But I guess the left have their priorities.</description>

		<description>Bet,
I used to live in Michigan too and I will tell you that your 'white guilt' concept is more an urban myth than reality. Please don't confuse Talk Radio slogans with Conservatism.</description>

		<description>I wonder if all the people hoping that we'd have some sort of divine transformation, today at noon, understand how Joe Lowery illuminated why no such transformation will occur.

The civil rights leader's words, asking for a day when "blacks aren't asked to give back, brown can stick around, yellow will be mellow, red man can get ahead, man -- and whites will embrace what is right," support those who never believed the truth of a supposed post-racial Obama administration. 

As Rick said, 'No, the election and inauguration of President Obama does not banish racism or discrimination from America. That happy event is still in the future.'

I think many Americans now have a much clearer idea who is responsible for racism today.</description>

		<description>White only drinking fountains?  In your life-time?   Just how old are you?

Where did you live because where I live in Michigan, blacks were everywhere, worked in the auto factories, voted, etc. 

The ascendency of an inexperienced liberal/leftist lawyer is only the begining of the end of the United States.  We used to be a meritocracy but we have devolved into "equal outcomes" via the obsession with race/ethnicity and so called "white guilt".  Politics, newsmedia and Hollywood have all merged into one.  They are the same thing.  

Hmmm, me thinks liberalism (of the left or the right) is a mental disorder.....</description>

		<description>"...&lt;i&gt;the American Indian is still living in squalor, forced to remain on reservations...&lt;/i&gt;"

They're required to stay there?

I had not known that.</description>

		<description>It is a great day for America that is for certain. Sure racism and hostility are not just going away (and that applies to all) but today also represents the ability of our society to reinvent itself. Today I don't want to talk about all the negatives and political differences but celebrate exactly this.</description>

		<description>Funny how some can equate this with the culmination of the dream of Martin Luther King, Jr. when so many voted for a man BECAUSE of the color of his skin, not inspite of it.  The culmination of Dr. King's dream would be that the color of a man's skin would never come up, ever, in any discussion.  But it did "Oh, and did I say he is black?"

And while Dr. King saw equality among all races in our nation, the American Indian is still living in squalor, forced to remain on reservations where their hope for the American dream is dashed at birth.  

And as we watch ever increasing black on Hispanic and Hispanic on black crime rise on our major cities, where are the leaders of those groups taking to the streets to end the bigotry there?  Somehow, that kind of bigotry never seems to make the news, but a national network said a few days ago that security had been increased in D.C. because the government was worried about "white" supremacists.  If we think that electing the first bi-racial president will end the "white guilt" pandering of left leaning media, that has already been dashed on the rocks of reality.

Is this a historic day?  Yes, but only in the fact that, once again, our nation has acheived the peaceful transference of power without the aid of force.  

And those who try to apply this to the goals of Dr. King, which were clearly that race would NEVER be an issue, only prove that the nation has not yet reached those goals.</description>

		<description>I hope this represents another triumph over entrenched racism. I fear it represents the triumph of affirmative action over a color blind society. We'll see soon enough, but if it is the latter rather than the former, expect racially tinged politics to get worse rather than better.</description>
