Welcome to a New Year, New Blog

Hi All,

Welcome to our blog. Here's what I'd like us to do for our first post.

First read the article "Who We Are Now" by John Meacham, columnist and editor for Newsweek magazine. He wrote the article in the wake of Obama's inauguration in 2009. After reading, I'd like for you to address at least one of the following questions:

1. Will race matter in the U.S. in 2050 and beyond?
2. Will whites be punished in some form when they become the minority in the U.S. future?
3. Are there any dangers for a post-white majority in America?

To earn full credit you will need to address at least one question and provide at least one reference to the reading (include page numbers). Additionally, posts must be thoughtful and spell-checked (one-two sentence responses will not be scored). Please reply with your first name and last initial along with your period #. Feel free to add to the discussion by posing new questions or engaging in thoughtful debate with your classmates.

I look forward to your responses.

Mr. Pond
