As we approach the second inauguration of Barack Obama, I’ve been hearing a revived debate over whether or not he’s really our first African-American President. The argument is usually that he’s “only half Black”, so it doesn’t count. Our first African-American President is yet to come”. (There are also debates that we already had African-American…

President Obama Says Happy Lunar New Year
This is pretty cool. For the record, I don’t literally believe in any type of zodiac or in using a lunar calendar. It’s a cultural thing.
