BARACK OBAMA
Since obamas election there has been many issues.. However many people do not like the affect of him being our next president due to the fact that he is an african american, i do not see any problem with his color because thats not what is important to me. When we had a white president, the black people did not make a big deal out of it and they did not say harsh things about the white president.
Now that our president is black high schoolers are making comments about him on the web, spraying racial graffiti on buildings, tunnels, and everything they can just to say something harsh and un-called for.
Most election-related threats have so far been little more than juvenile pranks. But the political marginalization of certain Southern whites, economic distress in rural areas, and a White House occupant who symbolizes a multiethnic United States could combine to produce a backlash against what some have heralded as the dawn of a postracial America. In some parts of the South, there's even talk of secession.
My opinion is very simple.. if we could judge a book by its cover and know what would happen with each president then we would not be going through hell in the world right now. White presidents have put us this far, so lets see what the black guy can do for us. The young people can not really say something and make an effect in the world til they are old enough to do so, so i think they should all just be patient and see what happens! (my opinion)
