I just read this blog post and it really spoke to me because Obama was a very influential president due to the fact that he was the first president of color in the US. Also growing up I remember watching Obama’s […]

This is an interesting topic. Joe Biden represents an older generation of Democrats. The type that is focused on a working class message. Although, as we learned in class, that working class message worked for […]

I know this post was made a month ago but I just saw it. It is a very disheartening to hear how they violated those children’s rights, and all for the purpose of Belgium seemingly being a “more open and tolerant […]

Good post, Adebola. There were previous precedents for the presidency, but despite the attraction of the third party how likely is it for them to win? Also, what about the roles of “movement” politics? […]

In this blog post, I just wanted to express my thoughts and revelations from listening to, reading, and analyzing Kendrick Lamar’s music. For anyone who doesn’t listen to hip-hop/rap, Kendrick is a Compton, […]

This is a really great post. I think what Jordan Peele is doing amazing. In the past most horror film main lead actors have been white. Jordan Peele casting black people as the main lead is a way to get black […]
