What is Old is New Again

Today I am re-visiting an article that I wrote in March of 2008 during the Democratic Presidential Primary race. Please read it here.

Since this article was written, not only did Barack Obama defeat Hillary Clinton in the primaries, he also became President of the United States. I am going to write a follow-up that will describe what I think about the racial undertones (or overtones) that have shaded his presidency.  I'm curious to hear what you all think about race and whether or not President Obama is the victim of racism or racialism. Please share your thoughts in the comments section of this post!

A few years ago, I received an e-mail stating that this article was being studied in a class about post-racialism. I was excited that my writing could contribute to a fascinating discussion, as nothing thrills me more than when people "get" something out of my writing.

In other news, I'm still working on my blog post about employment after my first year of college. It was such a hard time for me and it's even hard for me to sit down to write about it. I hope to have it up in the next couple of days.

Have a great day!
