Race Always Matters in America

If Obama can overcome race to win in the fall election despite his perceived weaknesses, he must be considered a genius or just plain lucky. Indeed this presidential election will be a referendum on Barack Obama’s candidacy and how far the United States has evolved on the issue of race. The United States was conceived in racism, sexism and classism and these “isms” have become part of our DNA. What is needed is a comprehensive prescription treatment plan that involves all entities of American life and culture, particularly in all the churches, synagogues, mosques and all other religious institutions of this great country.
