According to the news I've just read, freshman Senator Barack Obama won the Democratic presidential nomination against Hillary Clinton, taking a huge and momentous step toward the goal of becoming the first Black president of the United States of America. Obama has opted for change, which probably has made people of his dreams for the whole USA as well as their own. Clinton, who already has experience and skills for an effective leadership, still has no bout to Obama--maybe she has but not that much for people to ponder on.
But i noticed something:
it's a woman versus man.
and this is much obvious too:
it's black versus white.
i bet there's racial discrimination for that's inevitable. it's an ongoing, endless and ruthless war between the two races, and if Obama garners the highest votes for the coveted position of presidency against Republican Sen. John McCain, no doubt, there will be a cultural uproar amidst the Black triumph, which has been underestimated by many since time immemorial.
If Obama wins, he has to be good, or else he'll put not just the Blacks but also the whole state into shame, making other industrialized countries like China and Japan to surpass the most powerful and influential country in the whole world in this decade.
And that, would be a blow.
