Reflections+on+race

Race is America is a sensitive topic. African Americans have been oppressed since our country was founded. Since then, race and racism, I feel, have become less of an issue. We have successfully elected our first black president, which was a huge step in America. I think that within America we have seen the pitfalls of American society and the triumphs, however our nation is still a work in progress. We have been named the American melting pot for a reason, and it is because we are the most diverse country. I think that we are making large leaps forward, and progress is coming.
