Affirmative action
African Americans should have the still have the opportunity to have a successful career in their lives. Once president Elect Obama became president it may have inspired the country but it does not create a great influence in the lives of young African Americans whom most children and even I don't really keep up to date with politics. Kanye West, 50 cents Kobe Bryant are celebrities or athletes that have a greater influence in the lives of African Americans today rather than president Elect Obama.Music or basketball may be something that young inndividuals are attracted to at a young age. Politics is not very appealing to young individuals. So 50 cents rapping about his gangsta life is actually a greater influence than to Barrack Obama who had changed the world and the history of America forever. When we over hear or talk with our friends just amongst friends we have conversations mostly about that last nights game. Or maybe even a conversation about some rappers or even celebrities. African Americans should still be given a little more time for them to actually see what Obama is actually doing for the country.
