Elections
There are three African Americans that are running for Wharton Graduate Association President this year. I think this is great not because guranteed one of "us' will ge in office, but because of the non-racial character. Elections here are done by slate, so you elect the Pres and his/her Exec VP's all at once. The slates are "multicultural." What's so good is that these brothers are running on the issues and their platforms and it's my perception that that is how people are deciding for whom to vote. That's REALLY important. If we are ever to get beyond race in this country, we need to decide on candidates based on factors other than skin color. Sadly, we don't do that "in the real world"...yet. Keep hope alive! :)
