WE DID IT, BOBBY!
Attorney General Robert F. Kennedy told the world that the United States, despite Alabama violence, is moving so fast in race relations a Negro could be President in 40 years. "...there is no question about it," the Attorney General said "In the next 40 years a Negro can achieve the same position my brother has,"...Kennedy said the prejudice exists and probably will continue to exist..."But we have tried to make progress...We are not going to accept the status quo."

It was amazing.Utterly amazing. Finally we've kicked out the regime that's now dead and whithered anyway, and stopped the potential regime of an already whithered and addled man, and his maniac wacko sidekick.
America graduated. It's become part of the world. ANd I can stop apologizing for all the ills it's caused over the last eight years.
We have arrived.
