Race, Power, and Privilege

In my opinion, race is not an excuse for power and privilege. If a person is well qualified for a certain spot in a job, they should not be judged on skin color or skill. With Barak Obama running for election is a huge step towards the African American culture. Because if you look back there has never been a African American running for president of the U.S.A. Even with Hilary Clinton being the first women to run is amazing. Back in the day African Americans had the lease opportunities in the work world, because they were looked down on skill and ability. White people had the jobs of being the doctors, lawyers, jockeys, and teachers. It is just unbelievably to think that just because of color they were judged with their abilities without even given a chance. But i am glad to be living in a era where there are giving all sorts of races the same privileges to live the life that everybody should.
