"Defining Moment" vs. Bradley-Effect
Nov, 4, 2008
Posted byThe latest manifestations of racism against Barack Obama in Tennessee, Oregon and Pennsylvania show that racism, far from being extinguished, has just found a perfect hideout behind many Americans’ politically correct behavior. Those manifestations remind us of the bitter American History characterized by lynchings and racial segregation. Only about six generations after the abolition of slavery Obama’s candidacy for president of the United States therefore is not only historical, but truly a defining moment in American history. In an article published on a German magazine the American author Uzodinma Iweala recently confirmed that the election of a Black president would mean that an entire generation of American children would grow up with a completely different idea of what it means to be Black in the United States.
Let’s enjoy the election, let’s witness this defining moment and
Let us hope that we dont have to face the Bradley-Effect!
