RE :”WASHINGTON (AP) — Growing up as a black teen, John Harris III says he wasn't always sure about what he wanted to do with his life. But the 23-year-old, now part of the first generation of college students who saw the nation's first black president elected, points to a newfound sense of purpose for him and other black graduates.
A new analysis by the Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research shows many in the black and Hispanic communities share Harris’ optimism. America's minorities are now far more optimistic about their economic future than whites and by the widest margin since at least 1987.
“We feel more independent,” said Harris, a recent graduate of historically black Howard University, who now works to reduce homelessness. “We feel like we're worth more, because we see it every day on the TV, hear it on the radio and are beginning to see it more in our communities.”

See ??? Obama is like a security blanket to them

He tells them that they are better off, they believe it.

He tells them that he has their back, they believe it.

He tells them that this is now a better country than it was in 2008, they believe it.

Except I thought the Zimmerman acquittal make it open season on browns and blacks? That's what Sharpton and Harris Perry are saying. Wouldnt you be more negative about your future if you believed that about youself?

If all this were happening under Republican present _residents, we would have had three present _residents since 2008.
