One can argue that there is not a more controversial person who has been elected President of the United States than Donald Trump. That takes into consideration that progress took it’s time getting to the modern-day world when we elected Barack Obama as our first African American President. Arguably, there was one controversy that led up to his being elected and continues to linger today: race.

There is always the topic of race when any interaction between white and black happens. In this sense, the fear of having a black president was the controversy and the perception of how he ran the nation would be what is lingering. There are those who believe this country is to be dominantly white and Christian. Everyone else is inferior and the prejudicial notions come to light. It took years and many steps and strides to bring those of a different skin color, religion, or orientation to be recognized let alone accepted. To be even more direct, it still is not that close to generating the appearance of equal.
