This post contains a simple history of a few turning points in Barack Obamas past career leading up to becoming elected president in 2008, as well as ongoing concerns with post-racial and civil rights such as the recent Trayvon Martin Case. Also included in this are momentous civil rights activists and movements relating to Rosa Parks and Martin Luther King. The post mentions how Americans today still struggle with recognizing beyond race when trying to accept other human beings because it is still an issue that needs to be improved upon.
I personally agree with the general idea and recognition that there are still divisions when it comes to racial classes in America, even though we have adaptively modernized our thinking and actions towards different races of people there are those that just can't accept change or cannot accept it well.
I am very grateful for history's past demonstrations against our government such as Rosa Parks, and the Black Panther Movement with hopes of reforming segregation laws. Racial-politics is a tough issue to debate especially when all of America is involved, but I believe that our government is working hard to continue relaxing heated arguments and tensions over such material.
