Just as Harvard Professor , Dr. Henry Louis Gates stated, America has a history of repeating history. Just as President Obama's election was a major victory for Black Americans, President Trumps could lead to our demise. Dr. Gates gave an example of the Reconstruction Era and how it held great promises and opportunity for people of color, but once a new president was elected all that was deconstructed and taken away from people of colors. He used that analogy to describe Obama vs Trump Presidency. Fortunately this is only a prediction since we do not know what direction America will turn since President elect Trump has yet to take office. If President Trumps term where to have a negative effect on people of color or minorities in general, the best way to get him out of office would not be to protest but to strike. Although America is a Democratic country it values capitalism. If we strike the country's economy it would have a devastating effect and really force the government to listen to its people. Although I did not vote for President Trump, I am staying optimistic about his presidency. Although there were many things he talked about that I did not agree with, there were points in
