@the_truth_hurts: I thought you might parse it that way to make it seem like you meant something different. The inclusion of "now," however (in addition to the sentences that follow), makes your attempt at revision unsuccessful.
Had you meant what you are pretending you did now, you would have to have said something like, "We all have equal rights under the Constitution."
Instead, you said (paraphrasing here), "Aren't we all equal now...Martin Luther King...'please feel sorry for us'...blah blah usual crap."
Translation: Isn't racial inequality a thing of the past? Can't You People just get over it? The answer to the first question remains no, and the answer to the second question is call me back when you're black.
Although I understand how tempting it is to try to make up something now to obscure the intended meaning of your original paragraph, please to remember that the words themselves, in all their glory, remain unchanged at the top of the page, and we can read.
I'm thinking of choreographing a new dance called The Weasel Wiggle. It's not for everybody though; you have to be able to get your entire foot into your mouth.
@Ted, re: today's generation: I'm thinking if the name of the blog doesn't tip you off, a bit of historical misinformation may be the least of your problems.
@Aye Chihuahua: I don't want you to think I'm ignoring you because you're attempting a fair and reasonable discussion of the different points, pro and con, concerning some of the appointments and actions taken by Obama.
I'm ignoring you because you're being condescending, sneering, antagonistic, and trollish without regard or thoughtful consideration for any dissent, differing opinion, or information beyond what fits into your fixed view.
@Dave: In the titles, "Dinning Room." Just bugs me. I can't compute how, if you can read, you haven't internalized the very meaningful difference between double and single letters in terms of what they do to the preceding vowel.
I usually try not to be a spelling Nazi, but it was all up in my face and sh*t. And they are parents. Teaching their child. To spell dining dinning.
Oh Carbonfish, you and your shades of grey. Don't you know the world's only black and white? And full of commies and heathens dedicated to squashing your ideals? Get with the program.

"aren’t we all equal now?"
Forgive me if I am misinterpreting sarcasm for insane ignorance, but the answer to that question is no.
