Obama

The discussion was a brilliant one (see last post). Led by Say it Louder, Andrew presented the crux of the matter. He explained the concept of "change" for Black people - a yardstick to judge the credibility of any move. How is change achieved?

In context of Obama, students later debated whether race and policy are synonymous. The discussion later broadened and touched upon whether or not change - as Black people want it - can be achieved by any President acting within a capitalist framework - as this framework is one that directs all policies. For example, powerful is the IMF and the World Bank as opposed to the President of the United States.
