The Obamas present a positive image of the Black Family. They set standards we could follow and learn from so that we could improve our own family structures.
In today's society, most of the times African American families are labeled as deficient and dysfunctional; where there is no father figure in the home and single mothers are left to raised their children on their own. However, the Obamas put a different perspective on how African American family is portrayed, by showing intelligence, leadership qualities and love for each other.They are role models and gives us all hope, not just in America, but around the world.
During the inauguration season I was watching BET, a reporter was interviewing people on the street and a young Black man said that he never think about marriage, but when he saw the Obamas, he wanted to get married and have children. This is the imapact that the Obamas are making in the Black community, and I'm loving it!
