Obama[ the first black president of USA
At some point during the political campaign of the last election in the U.S.A. Obama was clearly beating Hillary within his party and then the polls also showed that he was ahead the opponent party. But some people close to me kept saying that he was not going to win the election, that it was impossible for a black man to become the president of the USA, that somehow Americans were not going to allow that. Fortunately my friends were wrong. Evidently the election´s results showed that the voters didn´t take account of the colour of his skin. I think that fact was really a great step in the struggle against racial discrimination in American´s society.

ReplyDeleteDear Gaby,thank you for your post. We agree with your position that there has been a change in paradigm in respect to Americans' ideas as regards racial discrimination.
ReplyDeleteThe fact that Obama has become the Head of the State implies open-mindness within this society.Moreover,voters have not taken into account their history in connection to racism.
Finally,we think that you have been very clear in expressing your ideas in a coherent and cohesive way.What is more important, you have gone straight to the point in discussing this controversial issue.
It was a great piece of writing.Keep on working like that!
