Dealing with America’s “Original Sin”
by Cheryl Carroll

The March 31st edition of Newsweek magazine contains three articles that review the life
and politics of Barak Obama within the context of American race relations.  The most
powerful of these articles is also one of the shortest.  In “It Was Always Headed There”,
journalist Ellis Cose briefly addresses current race relations that culminated in the speech
given by Obama on March 18th.    One purpose of the article is to state that although
Obama has been careful to avoid discussions of race issues, given his historic position in
the 2008 Presidential Race, “it was always headed there”.  Regarding Obama’s handling of
the Reverend Wright issue Cose writes that:

  To his credit, Obama chose not to respond to the silliness with more silliness- which, given the
touchiness of race and the seeming inability of different groups to see the same picture in the same way,
was probably the politically clever thing to do.  Instead, he invited Americans of all hues to engage in a
serious, sustained thinking through our shared history and to focus on the continuing ramifications of
slavery, America’s “original sin”.
