Obama is still a 'hope and change' guy. I used to be one, too
CNN
Reflecting on Barack Obama's interview with CNN's Anderson Cooper, Issac Bailey writes that after seeing America's overt racism during and after Obama's presidency, it was hard hearing the former president talk about still being hopeful about change. But his ability to hold fast to that vision during a time such as this is admirable and should be emulated.
When Obama was first elected, I was a hope and change guy, too. I no longer am in part because of what this country revealed itself to be in response to a Black family taking residence inside a White House built by slaves. It was painful watching him across from Cooper diagnosing what ails this nation, explaining why democracies don't die with one grand punch but rather by a thousand little cuts.More Related News
