Progress? In what way? The people who allegedly made
racist statements still claim their statements weren't
racist and the ones who see those statements as racist
haven't been convinced that the statements aren't
racist.

Where is the progress?

Also... just who are these "known extremists"? I
certainly wouldn't characterize myself that way.
