Post Racial Barack Obama Discussion>

The post racial discussion last Wednesday night was about racism and Obama as the new president. The meeting was held with five professors all of which were very knowledgable on the subject. They were talking on such issues as to why we have so much racism in the U.S. today. Why are there so many racist people still in our current culture. Also the issue was brought up if Obama would solve this issue of racism. Considering that 60% of his voters were african american everyone wonders what will happen when he is in office. We the people! Since Barack Obama was elected african americans were seen as the problem in todays society. Now they are seen as the solution instead of the problem. Racism is not a new though or thing. It has been around for thousands of years. Today we are just looking at a way to end it. Will Obama be part of this solution? I sure hope so. We are all human beings. Why are people so cruel to others just because their skin color? This makes me sick! I really hope that this issue amongst our own people is solved sometime in the near future!
