African American President

Do you think that having an African American president will have any impact on our country? Do you think that having an African American president will have any impact on your personally? On you children? Please discuss (in classroom appropriate language) in two or three paragraphs.

History has been changed and already our country has been affected. The impact is astonishing because 30, 40 years ago, no one would have ever thought of having a black president. It will change the way our children will look at “opportunity”. Racism, I believe will be less and less apparent to the future people of the country because they will have been born into a lifestyle where race doesn’t matter.

Personally, I think it was an amazing thing to witness. I think that it shows that America is ok with change, and it doesn’t matter what race you are, as long as you get things done. We needed a change, and what better way than to make the seemingly “impossible”, possible? I don’t care if he’s black or if he is white. If he’s doing a good job for the country, and making my future a little more brighter, I will appreciate what he has done.
