Barack Obama. It offers hope. Although apparently the issue has nothing to do with this blog, if we reflect for a moment, we realize that everything that involves a move towards equality and respect of any minority, our progress and our victory. So I have decided to write this article.
"Now the White House will be the Black House, and all it will fit all, everybody!"
a black man in 1955 began a struggle for equality that traverse the world. More than half a century later, his daughter Bernice King, applauded the election of Barack Obama as the first black president to occupy the White House, saying that his father "would have been proud.
Let me recall here some of the phrases that described the dream that is now beginning to be fulfilled:
"I had a dream: I dream that one day this nation will rise up and live out the true meaning of its creed:" We hold these truths are evident: that all men are created equal. " I dream that my four children will one day live in a country which will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character. When we let freedom ring let it ring from every village and every hamlet, from every state and every city, we can hasten the day when all God's children, black and white, Jews and Gentiles, Protestants and Catholics, to join hands and sing in the words of the old black spiritual, "Free at last! Free at last! Thank God Almighty, we are free at last!"
When I was a child I had a dream that one day rule the genuine U.S. Americans, in youth I dreamed that one day he would be exiled from apartheid South Africa, at maturity, I dream of a free Palestinian state. Today there is a black man apartheid and ruled South Africa. Today a black man won the election for president of a country with strong racist connotations. Today I opened the hope that one day my dream will come true been satisfied as of Martin Luther King.
Barack Obama, has been elected President of the USA 143 years after the abolition of slavery in the U.S. and 44 after the official end of segregation. When he was born in some U.S. states interracial marriage was prohibited and blacks were guaranteed the right to vote. And he has achieved despite a campaign of his opponents which have poured harangues inciting division, racism, Islamophobia and even violence.
In a country where almost 13% of the population live below the poverty line., While 400 members of boards are better paid average salary of eight million euros annually, and the top 20 list, multiply that number by three, Obama has raised more humble vote. The landslide victory has been found between young people, women, blacks, Hispanics and poor.
It is clear that Obama has managed to thrill the impoverished. And several political analysts believe that caresses the project to adopt a series of immediate measures of deep social significance, emulating the New Deal of Roosevelt.
Barack Obama has, however, a poisoned legacy, the legacy that has an ancestor who should be in the bloody pages of history.
And my American dream solution lacks indigenous marginalization. The same day he was elected to the next occupant of the White House, the descendants of the Sioux who survived the genocide against the Indians in the late nineteenth century, will vote to nominate a leader able to demand the Great Chief in Washington to remedy the remain condemned to misery. One of their candidates Russell Means is tinged with bitterness when she recalls that the United States refused to sign the Declaration of Rights of Indigenous Peoples at the UN. And we should remember that the same president who decreed the Emancipation Act of slaves, decreed the public hanging of the Dakota and the Sioux in 1862, when after an uprising in Minnesota were hanged 38 natives, the largest public execution in U.S. history
Obama's message is a positive discourse based on unity and change for a country that is no longer white. A message transmitted with noble words not heard in the world for half a century. A message that raises hopes but all assume that there will be at its height, as hard it is to the expectations it has raised.
But whatever I do Barack Obama, the mere fact of his election has fulfilled a dream, has changed the world and has opened a hope to all the oppressed of the world. Obama
Congratulations, congratulations, America.
