    While I was cognizant of this form of prejudice in American, I did not know many of the details that Vedantam used, nor was I aware that it affected other cultures around the world. I did disagree with Vedantam when he stated the Democratic Senator Harry Reid’s comments that Barack Obama benefited politically from his light skin and dialect somehow “punctured the myth that Mr. Oboma’s election signaled the completion of the Rev. King’s dream” (192). Mr. Obama’s wining the presidency was a triumphant moment in the history of equality in our country, but we all knew that it was not the end of…

    In Jack Shafer’s work, “How Obama Does That Thing He Does," he demonstrates how during Obama’s Speeches, he portrays himself as an important figure so that citizens can trust him. Through this technique Shafer effectively gets through the audience and convinces them that Obama is a remarkable candidate for the presidential primaries, Shafer uses ethos, pathos, and logos to explain his beliefs about Obama’s considerable achievements during his campaigning in the 2008 presidential primaries.…

    When Senator Barack Obama was elected the first black president in 2008, African Americans were flushed with a new sense of possibility and ownership in the American political system (source). Many of us thought it was our time in the sun. Political pundits and black-folks everywhere serious questioned if America would undergo a new era of pro-black politics? An era were institutionalized racism would be challenged and black-needs would be prioritized.…

    His reaction to the Black Congressional Caucus shows a different approach as when faced with criticism in 2001 about the slow progress being afforded Blacks, Obama rebuked them, fashioned them as crybabies, and to focus on his upcoming re-election (p. 177). Although Obama tried to institute a Jobs Bill that was voted down by the Majority Republican Congress, and a number of his initiatives were put down, and rebuke of warranted criticism shows that he was not as responsive as he should have been to his most important and fervent…

    Also in this Essay Obama still spoke on the rift between Blacks and Whites. Although Racism is not as strong as it was in the 60s. Racism is still alive today and needs to be stopped not just between Blacks and whites but also immigrants that came to America from all over. Racism is a terrible hatred trait just because someone doesn’t look like you that’s very petty too me. God didn’t judge us when he made us so why do we have the right to do it. One point he talked about in this essay where racism is still strong at is South Carolina where residents still have confederate flags are still hung up. That shows racism from way back has been passed down from generation to generation and someone needs to put an end to it once and for all.…

    Every year millions of high school seniors apply to colleges and universities across the country. Some get in, some don 't. These schools have strict policies on the criteria for the acceptance of such students. The criteria involve many aspects of a student 's prior academic career, such as their academic standing, extra curricular activities and work ethic. These are criteria that put everyone on the same level because everyone has the ability to work harder or join more athletics. However, no one can change the color of their skin, and colleges base their admissions on these variables as well. So racism, in a sense, affects even the most basic of human ideals, education. If all men are truly created equal, as it is written, then race should not matter. Why aren 't college admissions based solely on merit? No person should be given an advantage based solely on the color of his or her skin.…

    President Barack Obama significantly overcame a bad economy, a fractured political landscape, high unemployment which gave him a great advantage over his challenger. When it comes to the states, it is seen that Obama took a number of key battlegrounds sates. As has been earlier pointed out, the Northeastern states remained loyal to Obama’s column by significant margins. In addition to this, he took no less than six of the nine swing states including Ohio. In the end, the fifty one year old president had more than the two hundred and seventy votes that would guarantee him a win. It is interesting to note that the New Jersey electorate, even with the major challenge of the Hurricane Sandy, showed their faith in the president emphasize and in addition to this, just to emphasize their solidarity for the Democrats, reelected Robert Menendez the Senator. He defeated the Republican Joe Kyrillos quite easily (Heavey, 2012).…

    When Obama was elected president, he was not described as the 44th President of the United States of America, he was the 1st black president. When Obama participated in the 2010 census, he chose the “Black, African Am., or Negro.” because there is “...no category specifically for mixed race or biracial”, regardless that it is Obama’s race (Roberts and Baker). Despite Rev. King’s desire for a grey world where there is unity between the whites and blacks, there are still racial denials on a federal level, showing how relevant the Civil Rights movement of the 1960’s is today, and that the problems from 50 years ago still haven’t been solved…
