Still on the Obama Watch

The article from the New York Times did a wonderful job of showing how normal the lives Obama’s really are. Traditionally in the past the president and his family were always known to be secluded from the public eye and were strictly in the view of society only for political aspects. It is great to see that the Obama’s are keeping their lives as normal as possible because it helps people understand that they are normal every day people like the rest of society.

The author’s remedies seem to have a powerful act of dedication on the means of rebuilding New Orleans.

Thinking More about African American Society and Culture

African Americans have come a long way since times of struggle and constant oppression.

Thinking More about African American Society and Culture

The idea of a traditional family has altered tremendously over centuries. The reasons can vary, and depend on a family’s economic standing and number of parents in the home. I have personally noticed an overwhelming number of single parent homes in existence today. As untraditional as it may seem it has been a common practice for some time. It makes sense to me that the structure of the family is set up in this manner, because Blacks have often been disabled from having a consistent two parent home.

Is Barack Obama an African American?

I feel the issue of Barrack Obama being Black is over emphasized. Society puts more attention on the color of an individual’s skin than their true abilities. In all actuality, though, because of Barrack Obama’s completion society considered him Black.
