Barack's very nomination represents progress and his general election win represents EVEN FURTHER PROGRESS THAN HIS NOMINATION. This man is breaking NEW ground with each move, making this country better. Any defeat for the racists, is a triumph for what is good in this country and the world.

mCcaIns nomination represents CONTINUED REGRESSION. Republicans stink. Their time is over.

Don't know, don't care. He's half black, half white but he did grow up white. The only black experience he had was being deserted at 2.

Hmmm...interesting, but when blacks move past the 70% and are successful, the past is still constantly brought up and rehashed to no end.

The constant rehashing makes me think that maybe it's you who can't handle the whole truth, just what is true in your eyes only.

historical moment for a minority person( to be exact white , arab and black , )and a black woman as his well to do wife
Now he , Rice, Powell amongst others etc etc etc have proved right now that the racist programme of affirmative action is not needed any more.

For heavens sake even his wife said that he grew up with nothing, single parent bla bla . He has proved without a doubt.

Now hopefully we can get past this diversity nonsense/ looking at people as the colour of their skin and perharps now we can get on with life and the future being colour blind.

Move past????? No, that is a 70% ILLEGITIMACY rate, not a good thing. Unfortunately this is NOT past but present. The white rate is 25% and climbing, also not a good thing.

Nothing that the racist among you can do about it either except cast your meaningless vote for pathetic mcCain in the losing effort.

Obama claims historic presidential nomination - The conventions - MSNBC.com
Yawn.........blah, blah, blah.......

History: First woman goes into combat.
History: First gay man becomes an NFL football player.
History: First monkey goes into space.
