Racism

Posted by: sallywatson on: November 12, 2008

Our country has come a very long way since it was created.  There have been many problems but we have overcome them to get to where we are today.  One of the biggest issues that has lasted for hundreds of years is racism.  The majority of slaves and those who were segregated were African-Americans.  Out of the African-American race [...]

Barack Obama- defying history

Posted by: sallywatson on: November 11, 2008

To fully comprehend the enormity of Barack Obama’s historical achievement it is helpful to remember what America looked like in 1961, the year Obama was born. During this time the southern states were still segregated, black and white people separated from the day they were born to the day they died. Black people were made to use segregated hospitals, schools, and even graveyards-white [...]

He just said what Barack Obama was going [...]

Did SNL affect election outcome?

Posted by: charliekennedy on: November 9, 2008

Virginia, What Were You Thinking?

Posted by: charliekennedy on: November 9, 2008

  For the first time since 1964, Virginia’s electoral votes did not go to the Republican candidate.
