Barack Obama's election shatters the last glass ceiling in the US
don't kid yourself. It is certainly very significant, for the reasons you state, but it's not the last glass ceiling.
in other circles, I hear regularly "anti-gay sentiment is the last acceptable prejudice". No it isn't. There'll be another one along soon. (my nickel is on Islamophobia).
Mr Obama's inauguration is a huge step along the way, but we're not in the promised land [would that be Utopia?] by any stretch. There will continue to be glass ceilings and prejudices that need to be done away with. Didn't Hillary talk about putting 19million cracks in a glass ceiling for women? those ceilings are still there.
Well, what did you expect anyway from a nation of grown men who paint themselves lurid team colors
hey, *I* come from a country where my ancestors painted themselves blue. It was supposed to scare the invading Roman soldiers, but unfortunately had zero effect.
