I read the article and found that it does have some relevence to my life. I am half black and Al Franken making a refrence to black people and how wrong it is to treat black people wrong and like they are beneath a person made me think that they're some good people left in the world. It makes me think people of diffrent races can coexisit in harmany in the world. After reading this article I feel better about going out and meeting new people and meeting people of higher standing. I now realize that people of higher standing are not all racist like their parents might have been. It shows that America has made big changes from the 50's and 60's.Some of the terms and refrences i don't know are: Al Franken eventually taking his seat, death of Walter Cronkite, National Committee for an Effective Congress, now-historic call upon the lady governor, Zola, Swift, Bernie Goldberg, Heritage Foundation, Brookings Institution, Citizens for Tax Justice, Joseph Welch’s famous challenge to Joseph McCarthy, and African American lesbian comedian. I think no of these terms or refrences are relevent to me in any way. I don't care about an african american lesbian comedian, Joseph Welch's challenge to Joseph McCarthy, or Walter Cronkite. I don't even know who these people are. These people or events will not help me in my life or what i want to do in life. The Heritage Foundation or Brookings Institution has not given me any money or helped me in any way, so I don't care who or what they do. When these events or people start helping me then i will care about them and what they do. Only then will I care because they will have an impact on my life and how it progresses or how i view my life.
