The Cryptic One

I see you are another human mortal. Greetings.

President Hussein Barack Obama Jr. is known as a live and walking catalogue of information. Each period of his life and career is filled with epoch-making events. He is the first African American President of the United States. This fact and the President’s achievements made him a figure of respect and admiration. America is a diverse racial unity; it was colonized by the British, French and Spanish. It played an important role in the abolition of the transatlantic slave trade – a movement that manifested itself by welcoming black slaves and granting them freedom. In the midst of racism, segregation, inequality, and injustice against blacks, people like Martin Luther King, Mary Parks, et al. fought social discrimination against black race. The major purpose of the essay about President Obama is to create a background of appreciation towards this person; some schools of thought believe that him being a black president is just a result of prophetic statement made by Martin Luther King. Barack Obama was born in Honolulu, Hawaii to a Kenyan father, Barack Obama Sr., and Stanley Ann Dunham – a white woman from Wichita Kansas. They met at a Russian class in Hawaii and got married in 1961. The father died in a car accident in Kenya in 1982, and the mother passed away in Hawaii of ovarian cancer in 1984. Obviously, Obama had challenges dealing with his multiracial heritage and family loss. This led to a fixation on drugs like alcohol, marijuana, and cocaine. This was a usual resort for the people who wanted to purge their minds of disconcerting thoughts. Nevertheless, this did not stop Obama; he went through hurdles, crossed many rivers and climbed the highest mountain of political ambition by becoming the first black president of the illustrious United States of America.

My darkest fear is Light.
