Our attitudes towards one another officially began to change as of yesterday.
There's always the danger that an oppressed group will seek to rise from a position of disadvantage to one of advantage - thereby subverting justice. Yesterday, the world was given lawful proof that predisposed ideas of supremacy based on class, race or religion are slowly becoming a thing of the past. Many revolutions have been centered on destroying something. This time, we witnessed a constructive revolution - a coming together of the people. In this revolution, the quest is for the minority [religous, ethnic, et-cetera] to get into the mainstream of American life. A revolution calling on the nation to live up to what is already there in an idealistic sense. Part of the job of leadership is to keep the hope alive and yet keep the flame of righteous indignation burning, the healthy discontent that will keep a revolution moving. We all have to recognise that, while everything has "changed", paradoxically, everything still remains the same. It is just the beginning of the change to come. The change that we are all looking for will only begin with a positively kinetic change in our mindset and our actions...
