Looks like Obama is helping with prejudice
I saw on the news a new poll that said that more people are becoming more comfortable with him being a black person.
This looks like great news to me. It's just what we need, because even though a lot of people will claim to not be prejudice, there are still that are.
My brother was in the living room with me and I took that time to explain to him what that means, and that just because someone has a different skin color than us, that we should not treat them any differently. He named off a friend of his that has dark skin, and I told him he was right. And that he knows his friend is no different than us. He agreed.

Go, Obama! You are making this country a better place already, and you aren't even in office yet.

1. You have to be taught to be racist, I think.
Little kids playing together in preschool don't care if their classmates are white, black, Asian, Hispanic, or anything in between. They have to be taught to reject a black doll in favor of a white one.

Eracism!
