| Sumario: | While Barack Obama's victory led many to believe that America's racial divide had significantly narrowed, the lived experience of many black youth belie this. Young black Americans today continue to be plagued by low levels of employment, high levels of incarceration, and a profound lack of trust in the government and broader political community.

Think of the criticisms that Bill Cosby has leveled, for example. In Democracy Remixed, award-win. |
