Reply #5: Just a couple of things [View All]

1) Americans born after 1960 were either too young or were not alive to see the Civil Rights struggle. Still, all of us have been affected positively by it. For instance, it's our responsibility to keep the legacy of those that came before us alive.

2) Obama is a civil rights attorney and has worked in inner cities. He knows a thing or two about the subject. He's also African-American, you know. He knows a thing or two about what it means to be black in this country.

3) Civil Rights go beyond the racial and gender struggles in the sixites, which still continue today although in different ways. Gays, immigrants, the poor- there is a lot to be done yet.

4) Your comments shows more dislike for Obama than anything- they don't have a logical base to stand on.
