I also know that there are places where its actually gotten worse.

I wish you would write more like it. Yes, the world does seem more tolerant. Back when my parents got married in the late '50's, protestants didn't marry catholics. It was a big deal when they did. But now, people don't even blink an eye at that kinda thing. Still, I wonder if the tolerance we see is just on the face of things.<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('745','skye'); return false;">Reply</a> - <a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('745','skye','Corey, this is my favorite posts of yours.

On this issue, I'm proud of we humans for the progress, even if its small. At least its observable. Too many terrible things get talked about. Nobody thinks to cheer anymore. I thought that it was time to cheer, I guess. ...but we're far from done! There's still a lot of racism and hurt out there. And, on a lighter side, remember that its <a href="http://theassimilatednegro.blogspot.com/2006/02/black-history-month-objective.html">Black History Month</a><div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('744','Corey'); return false;">Reply</a> - <a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('744','Corey','I\'m not sure what made me think of it, but sometimes I think back and look at how things are different.
