Can an African-American, such as Barack Obama, actually be elected in America?

I honestly do think a man such as Obama can win presidency. He has good insights in what's happening in our country. And i think race isn't much of an issue as it use to be in America when segregation was law. He seems like he can do good for this country in this time of need. It is a big possibility that he can get elected.

Civil rights movment

Option 1 - Why is it important to learn about Civil Rights?

Option 2 - What are the best ways to remember Civil Rights leaders?

It's important to learn about civil rights, because you get educated in the past. So later on you won't commit the same mistakes others committed before you.
You learn things about your heritage you never knew before. And you realize how much it took for you to get the freedoms you have today. Learning how to appreciate them a little better. To use them more wisely. It teaches you that you can make a difference. The world can change, it's not impossible.
You just have to be committed and stick to your beliefs. And you can reach the American dream.

Option #1

Describe what you see in this picture. Why do nations create walls? What are the effects of building walls? Why is America continuing to build a bigger border?

I see people with their heads leaning against the wall, maybe trying to find a way in.

Nations create walls to separate the people from entering their country. Or enemies , maybe to make it harder to enter. They isolate themselves from them and treat them like their some type of alien instead of a human being.

And when walls get created, the desperation for them to enter grows. People get angry and create vicious acts against others.

Our boarder that i expanding and becoming more strict abut who enters or not aren't realising the affect that they're causing on the economy. The way they mistreat the immigrants.

Is there still racism in America?

Racism is still an issue in America and quite frankly I think it's always going to be a problem. Things have changed over the years and it's gotten better. But theirs still stereo typing and so. People still discriminate against each other and theirs still violence and crooked cops. We've come a long way but we're still having an issue with racism and poverty. If we want things to change in the long run we have to change the way we look at society and at other ethnicity's. That's what the song is indicating that we do need to change and have a more open mind to things. We're not going to gain anything by killing each other.

When a dream deferres.......

A Dream Deferred - by Langston Hughes
What happens to a dream deferred?

Does it dry up
like a raisin in the sun?
Or fester like a sore--
And then run?
Does it stink like rotten meat?
Or crust and sugar over--
like a syrupy sweet?

Maybe it just sags
like a heavy load.

Or does it explode?

When a dream is deferred it stays in your head and the hunger for it to come true grows. Eventually it explodes and is set in action again but this time with more aggression for it to happen. It haunts you UN till you fulfill it to the last inch. It sinks in your mind UN till it's the only thing left in your head. It becomes a heavy load on you and takes tolls of your days. It lays beside you at night encouraging you for a last fight. A dream is a thing you shouldn't give up on. It's a piece of you and it's a belief. And if you don't acknowledge your dream it will eventually rotten and it will rotten you as well.
