The effect of Barack Obama in black men

When I was a child, I heard black older men talk bad, mythical figure called "man." I thought it was Batman, Spiderman, Superman, and man.

Man accused of selfish power grab and resources that prevented black men for jobs, business owners, and have more opportunities in general. As a young impressionable child, the man looked like a bad Mutha. It took a time I understand that the man was the white man.

As humorous and archaic as this concept may be, I'm surprised the man still lives in minds of many black men today. After listening to Barack Obama give his speech at the Democratic National Convention, which coincided with the 45th anniversary of leader civil rights Martin Luther King Jr. "I have a dream", there is a palpable optimism, energy and pride that I am sensitive in my conversations with other black men. The awareness that is almost spiritual. Synergy that can produce fertile seeds of a movement – a movement of black men.

While the women's movement has been legitimized and published in the press since their liberation struggle began, there is a risk – and necessary – Movement black man who is ongoing. Of course, the media took not on him because they did not consider newsworthy or notable, but conscious of blacks, especially those who want to seek financial and mental, professional and liberation for themselves and their children are well aware.

It is the effect that the Obama campaign and the legacy of black men have on.

For understand the magnitude of this effect, it is necessary to rewind the story of another speech. It was given at a ceremony for graduates of Howard University in 1965 by President Lyndon Johnson after John F. Kennedy assassination and the passage of the Civil Rights Act, which prohibits discrimination of any kind as to race, color, religion or national origin.

"You do not erase the traces of centuries by saying:" You are now free to go anywhere, do whatever you want, and choose please their leaders. "It's not take a man who for years blocked by chains, liberate, lead to the starting line of a race, saying:" you free to compete with everyone else, and even just think you're really just … This is the next step and deeper the battle for civil rights. We do not seek only freedom but an opportunity, not just legal equity but human ability, not just equality as a right and a theory but equality as a fact and as a result. "

The bill was subsequently amended to cover discrimination on grounds of sex. This amendment is largely benefited white women and opened the gates for entry into the workplace.

More and more white women migrated to workplaces 1964, a work, they are "allowed" to be armed with the new parliament and a spirit of liberation which would push and become the women's movement, the black women will soon follow suit and be deployed in less desirable functions so that black men are mainly displaced spawning an imbalance in employment in the black community where men still have higher rates of high unemployment and underemployment which black women.

This statistic is valid for today.

When Juxtapose the work environment today with yesterday, I see that black men still represent the bulk of the workforce that has been relegated to manual labor or unwanted marginal paid work. I searched but found no statistical data on the ethnic composition of the workforce FedEx and UPS, but by observation, I am willing to bet that are among the first – if not 1 and 2 – the employers of black men, followed closely by any company that provides security (guard) services.

These are all jobs that require physical effort of its employees. Black men have always been used and appreciated for their physical strength as it went (String) set foot in this country. After all this time, we are even more likely to pay millions of dollars to the muscles in our minds.

The effect of Barack Obama is the pendulum in the other direction.

In the 60s, paid employment is denied by racism, fear and mistrust. Racism is not is what led to unfavorable working conditions of black men have to overcome is the negative perception of black men as a group, have shown be a major obstacle to our economic success and psychological. It is the internalization of these perceptions that affect us. There is ample research showing the devastating effects of these perceptions can still be internalized by young men in black.

According to Dr. Alvin Poussaint, a psychiatrist and author Lay my burden Down: Unraveling suicide and mental health crisis among African Americans in the last twenty years, rates of suicide among young people between 15 black and 19 rose by 114%. coach of the Indianapolis Colts lost her son 18 years old in 2005 and finally suicide the epidemic claimed the media attention of, even for a fleeting moment.

With the current scenario, as families are often fragmented headed by single mothers, lack of leadership of men, the negative influences, and discrimination continues our school teachers are not kissing, food or support for black youth as easily as their white counterparts, it is not surprising that many black young men are false bravado and a cool facade to cover up low self-esteem, and often looking for validation through sport, entertainment and sexual conquests. Worse, it creates a state of minds.

Author Carol S. Dweck, Ph.D., who is widely regarded as one of the top researchers worldwide in the areas of personality, social psychology and psychology development, notes that psychologists know that stereotypes and negative labels are bad, but are yet to discover how all tags carrying negative damage. She writes in her book Mindset: The New Psychology of Success, a fixed mindset limits the effectiveness. It fills people's minds intrusive thoughts. It is unpleasant effort, and leads to lower learning strategies. Moreover, there are other people rather than judges allies.

My father told me at an early age in black men have to work two or three times more than white men to achieve the same success. We also have to work smarter with the same success. There are political, psychological involvement, racial and legal in every scene to thrive in. It is our responsibility to know how best to navigate through situations that pose a threat to our success.

If it is to work harder or smarter, in addition to "work" is inevitable. Dealing with the inertia resulting from the apathy of many of our neighborhoods, communities and households, treatment of persistent fears and stereotypes, and having to make constant efforts to adapt to the whites who do not feel comfortable with us or on our premises. Historically, black men our prosperity has always been linked to our ability to interface successfully with white men.

I imagine that living life as a paraplegic or without their point of view is probably more difficult in terms of difficulty and adaptability, but certainly not the capacity. This line is drawn and a new thinking can begin. Yes, being a black man is more difficult for some men in black and undoubtedly disadvantages of the company, but as people with physical challenges above, we must consider them as just that, the challenges to do with disabilities and certainly not disabled. Being a black man is difficult, but being a black man who is the president is incredibly hard.

What we find when we dive into the bottom of Barack Obama? Let's see:

Barack Obama was born in Honolulu, Hawaii, Kansas mother, Ann Dunham was born (which is a distant relative of Robert Duvall) and a Kenyan father, Barack Hussein Obama Sr., whom she met when both were enrolled at the University Hawaii, where his father was enrolled as a foreign student.

His mother and father divorced when he was two and his mother remarried and moved to Indonesia. His father studied at Harvard, traveled around the world on a mission to Kenya and saw Obama only a couple of times when I was 10 when he was returned to Hawaii to live with his maternal grandparents to be able to attend aa great reputation at the private Punahou School, nonsectarian, where he graduated.

Obama spent two years at Occidental College in California before transferring to Columbia University where he majored in Political Science with a specialization in international relations. It became a community organizer for a small religious group in Chicago for three years, helping poor South Side residents cope with a wave of closures. He then attended Harvard Law School in 1990 and became the first African American editor of the Harvard Law Review.

He refused a prestigious legal internship, choosing instead to practice civil rights law in Chicago, representing victims of discrimination housing and employment and working on voting rights legislation. He also began teaching at the University of Chicago Law School. Finally is presented as a Democrat for state Senate seat in his district, which includes Hyde Park (where he currently resides) and among the poorest ghettos on the south side, and won.

In 2004, Obama was elected to the U.S. Senate as a Democrat representing Illinois, and has attracted national attention by giving a warm and well received speech at the Democratic National Convention in Boston, won a Grammy for Best Spoken Word for the CD version of his autobiography "Dreams From My Father" (2006) won his second Grammy Award for best spoken word album for "The Audacity of Hope" (2008) asked the Democratic nomination for president United States (2008).

There is a short summary highlighting key achievements, but their origins are similar to the black men I know: It came of a family father, had a strained relationship with his father, a close relationship with their grandparents, and had to make decisions.

Faculty of Law, organizer community, civil rights activist, Grammy Award winner, member of the United States Senate, presidential candidates – who are all talents and decisions based on values. None of them would be possible if Barack Obama does not really believe that these goals are possible and expose the effort to achieve consistency.

What if Barack Obama is elected president? What happens when people stop blaming black men, and start being the man? All doors are open. Every American dream – has been a member – can be a reality.

Our point of view and finally the definition of man overthrown, replaced by a positive self image and increased awareness of the super powers we possess, but rarely turn. We will become more motivated to use the resources, get better jobs, successful businesses launch, and opportunities for leaders and a model that many of us have failed, it became visible the highest position in the country – the presidency.

In summary, the effect Barack Obama say that our statute of limitations of apologies are officially sold out. The mentality that has plagued men for centuries black internalization of negative perceptions above will be repaired. The effect of Barack Obama will germinate a culture of growth that benefits the future black men for centuries.

Dweck wrote: The mentality of growth is based on the belief their basic qualities are things that you can grow through their efforts. The growth mindset has teeth stereotypes and makes people more likely to retaliate. They do not believe in permanent inferiority. He also wrote: The prejudice is a deeply rooted social problem … help growth-minded people to see the damage it is – anyone else see them.

The effect of Barack Obama inspires little black kids the courage to choose the path less traveled and explore all options available to them. The Obama effect empowering parents to instill black Negritos deep-rooted faith and trust in which allows them to have personal life and professional boundaries are limited by your imagination and effort, not without opportunities. Barack Obama effect persist because men and boys know in their black Black heart and spirit, which is man – the only – that control their own thoughts, actions, and destinations.
