In one day, America made history by electing the first African American man to be president-elect of the United States of America (when 54 years ago, African Americans couldn't even occupy the front seating of a public bus).
In the same day, proposition 8 was passed, an unconstitutional amendment banning gay marriage in the state of California, discriminating against thousands and thousands of American homosexuals. 70% of African American voters voted FOR the amendment.
Maybe America is not as progressive as we thought it was.
