My sister in law, whose 1st language is Guarani, but is fluent in Portuguese and Spanish, just sent me her English homework to correct.

Her English homework is perfect. She chose to write about Barack Obama and he's created program to help the working poor.

Granted, whether we're from, we grow up speaking or hearing more than one language but this girl's about mastered four languages fluently.

What's also dope about this is that we've been talking a lot about anti-blackness, which Guarani people aren't immune from.

She couldn't pick anti-blackness as a topic, but she is highlighting how Obama is the first black president....

Yes, I know that sounds corny. But for my sister in law, who's from a pretty remote region and never traveled too far, it makes me proud.

Not true. She's been to more than one big city. But still: I'm all for Guarani people thinking about blackness, even if it's through Obama.

And as critical I am about Obama, the way the rest of the world sees him is something we can't forget.
