Obama’s victory: Symbolism, Change and the Need to Rupture
While racism in America does not disappear completely with Obama’s victory, the result of the US presidential elections reflected a significant change, a milestone in the struggle against the racist mindset. More importantly, it symbolized the American people’s clamor for change. But it would take more than the election of an African-American from the Democrats, and some minor reforms and changes to solve the crisis the US and the world is in, and to stop the US, as well as other advanced capitalist countries, from wreaking havoc on the lives of oppressed peoples and nations.
