In these two articles writers speak about the racial activity following the election of Barack Obama and the effect that it is having on people in the United States and several Political Leaders in the rest of the world. In Worldwide Fear of a Black President it talks about a German Politician who spoke out against Obama saying that he was elected (Obama) because of the “American Alliance with the blacks and the jews”.
I understand that there are people that have yet to crawl out from under their rock and realize that Hitler is dead and we don’t own people anymore. I just hope that the man that was elected by a landslide victory with electoral votes and also won the election in terms of the popular vote something our twice previously elected president was only able to do once. I also understand that many people are still sore to the idea that the person that they voted for lost. However, I hope that we as a country can come through and possibly show enough respect for the man that was elected President of the United States and focus on the more important issue at hand the status of our country and not the color of his skin.
