Dr. Mark Sullivan, an adjunct professor at Towson University, teaches a Mass Media and Society course.

This segment comments on whether President Obama's election to the presidency has actually allowed more racism in America, how Black is defined in America, the conflicting perspectives of white people and Black people regarding how much "Black blood" a person has to have to be "Black enough," also the conflicting perspectives of white people and Black people regarding how far we've come and how far we have yet to go in the fight against racism, and that the current depictions of Black people in media are taken for granted.

  • I consider Obama light skinned no where near what is consider dark in my family :). I do consider him black, but at the same time I know that often "black" in my community can mean only having a black grandparent if the features are still there.
