Now that Roland Burris is the only African-American serving in the U.S. Senate the national press has been quick to say he remains a 'tainted' man because he was appointed by Gov. Rod Blagojevich who is now facing impeachment. Is this just a ploy to help return the U.S. Senate to an all-white club in 2010 or do you think Burris will be ineffective in the Senate?

On January 20, 2009, 47-year-old Barack Hussein Obama was sworn in as the nation's 44th president bearing witness to millions of people across the world that anything is possible.

Much has been said about the world witnessing America usher in its first African-American president, particularly as it relates to race relations. Some have declared that the dark days of racism/white supremacy are over and that Blacks, Latinos, Asians and others can breath a sigh of relief that the hostile days against them are over. What do you think? Is racism dead or dying a slow death in the United States? How will President Obama's historic achievement 'trickle down' to everyday people of color or will it?

Not only did January 20th unveil the nation's new first family, but also President Barack Obama's presidential limo. Nicknamed "The Beast" it is a cross between a Cadillac, a tank, a missile silo and a hummer. Equipped with state of the art technology, the limo was made by General Motors. Now conspiracy theorists abound: Some think the car's nickname has a religious overtone ("mark of the beast"), while others simply see it as the coolest car ever for the coolest president ever. What do you think?
