Where do the black race stand in USA?

Lets look the new millenium where black race is look up by people especially in the entartaiment business. Everyone want to get a copy of the album of Rihanna , beyonance , Omarian and etc. It is the fact that they were discriminated in the past , the African American feel the need to stand out in the crowds by working their best at doing things they like .We could see now even Whites and Asian want to be black these days. What do we call this phenomena? And currently Obama is running for the next United State of America Presidential electiom? The African American people are becoming more established and well-known in USA. They have came from the earliest period of USA as NEGRO or SLAVE and now emergenced as one of the strongest and notorious race in the USA. Is this happening because of Martin Luther King's speechs? It may have......isnt just amazing how someone's speech created great signifact impact on every individual? So, all of you out there if you have a dream please try your best to achieve it.....its all about the efforts and determination you put on something and the rest you leave to ALLAH.
