Inquiry#6: Barack Obama "A More Perfect Union"

Born of mixed race, Obama incorporates his multiracial family into the stereotypes and prejudices that deprive our country from reaching true equality. He utilizes his own family decent to express the many racial issues that black and whites have towards each other, conveying his idea that each race is as responsible for stereo types and discrimination as the other. For an example, minorities are trying to over come their past of oppression, while whites have repressed resentment for the social advantages that minorities receive.

As an example of a true leader of equality, Obama refers to his minister. Even though his child hood preacher lacked the hope for change of the society, he believed in equality for man kind and loving one another as thy brother. This means to help each other through struggles instead of acknowledging other persons adversities as a personal problem. His minister practiced the action of selflessness and viewing races as all equal.

Obama focuses on the main wall that is keeping our country back, which is race inequality and discrimination. Instead of focusing on anger displacement, we should all appraise one another's backgrounds and come together to develop solutions for a brighter future for the next generation. In unison, our country can then create change, for the best. Even though Obama has been looked down upon at because of his idealistic views, I believe that thinking in a positive mind set is the one factor that our country needs. Do you believe that Obama's methods to strive for a better future are reachable?
