… but we still have more to overcome.
There have been many political cartoons, blog posts, news columns, and other statements saying that we have proved that the American Dream has been realized, that anyone can become President of the United States after the victory of Barack Obama, a man of mixed race.
Yes, anyone can become President unless they are:
gay (see Proposition 8 in California)
Muslim (see the campaign tactics from the Republicans in the recent election)
atheist (see the tactics of the Senatorial campaign of Elizabeth Dole)
There are more on the list.
Yes, a great milestone has been passed, but there is still more intolerance to be overcome.
