Anything’s possible

Americans,” Barack Obama said during his election campaign, “still believe in an America where anything’s possible.

Anon is rightBy: Giri | Friday , 7 Nov '08 0:34:28 AM Reply | Forward America won its independence in 1783. Majority of Blacks were legally enslaved then. Fast forward 80 yrs, Abe Lincoln announced the Emancipation proclamation. But Blacks were disenfrancised in many ways with the so called Jim Crow laws. Fas forward another 100 yrs and President LB Johnson announced the Civil rights act and returned the voting rights to Blacks. And now in 2008, Barrack Obama won. It started in 1783 and realized in 2008. In India, there has been Dalit President and Muslim president. Mayawati is the polularly elected CM. All these in less than 60 yrs after Indian independence. Yes there are problems faced by Dalits and Muslims in India; just like Blacks facing in the US. The most recent case was that of Sean Bell in NY. Absolute social equality is an impossibility, all over the world. But there are progressive achievements in US, as much as in India.
