Can We Really?

The American people saw history unfold in front of their eyes, with the election of the nations' alleged first black President Barack Obama (I say alleged because research shows that there were four presidents before Obama that were of mixed decent as well, but that also is alleged) , the crumbling of Wall Street, and brutal warfare abroad. But it is the belief of many that being Black, was the least of President Obama's concern. The corruption in America social and economic structures began to expose itself in rare form as of late. Illicit activity has gone on for years and years to enslave many and empower few. i.e. Prohibition. But these things went unusually unnoticed by the majority. People knew, but nothing was done. After listening to Obama's speech tonight, it seems like he is acknowledging these evils and actually addressing them. Maybe a change has come, because the tone of his rhetoric is almost anti-Washington. Only time will tell. As Americans we need to hold him accountable.
