At some point being aware of our history is a good thing, but if we keep making decisions/building traditions on past injustices then a lot of us wouldn't have gotten as far as we have today. We either need to wake up and seriously consider the other viable option (the GOP) or -- like you suggested in another post -- come up with a strategy to create a viable alternative to both the Democratic party and the GOP.

There's a point in there somewhere, I'm sure of it.
