Robbie2008's blog
Urban Riots of the 1960s
Submitted by Robbie2008 on Sat, 2008-02-09 20:22.The pictures are of a black man pulling himself out of a pit of racial inequality, and he is very happy and relieved to be out of that pit. What he realizes in the second frame is that he crawled out of the first pit into a much larger pit. This pit is economic inequality.
I believe that some of the reasons there were major economic inequalities are included in the following.....
1. In Hunters Point, San Francisco in the year 1958, Willie Mays, baseball's greatest center fielder and star of the San Francisco Giants, could not rent the house of his choice in Forest Hill until Mayor Christopher publicly invited Willie to stay as his guest until it was resolved.
Barack Obama-First Black President?
Submitted by Robbie2008 on Tue, 2008-02-05 19:34.Barack Obama is currently in second place for most votes for a democratic candidate behind Hilary Clinton before the November election, and I was wondering what exactly it would mean if in November he won the elections. Knowing our country's history with racial issues, how would the country respond to Obama becoming our new President of the United States?
