https://contemporaryracism.org/2532/president-obama-and-the-promotion-of-the-american-dream/ An academic blog about whiteness, implicit bias, and systemic racism Mon, 19 May 2014 20:07:26 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.9.4 https://contemporaryracism.org/2532/president-obama-and-the-promotion-of-the-american-dream/comment-page-1/#comment-305 Mon, 10 Feb 2014 00:06:02 +0000 http://contemporaryracism.org/?p=2532#comment-305 I wrote a journal article on this same topic, however I wasn’t sure of the exact words that Reverend Write used, just that it was directed to the racial inequalities that people of color face. For his political race this speech was Golden in landing him his presidency. However it inferirated me, he is in a safe position though he can be heavily ridiculed for it, he can still use his position to better educate the American people of the inequalities we face. I also felt the same about how he continued to honor and uphold the American Dream and the “boot strap ideology” which systematically doesn’t work for everyone.
