I think what I love about this video si that it sort of says a lot about what I'm thinking - I'm happy about Obama being president, but it does not satisfy me. It does not mean the US (or any country) is post-racial when they have a minority president. The work isn't done, racism still exists, a huge step toward Martin Luther King's dream, but it has not been realized.
Um, yes. The video is about 3 minutes long.

I don't think so in so many words though. But media being what it is, is saying a lot of very stupid things that come across as very self-congratulatory, and how MLK's dream has been realised, as if having one black president somehow makes racism disappear and negates decades of oppression. |
