That sounds fascinating. I hope you chose to blog about it on NoodleFood. Ever since reading Tara Smith's article on Pragmatism I am eager to learn as much as I can about the subject. “I think madmax’s comment allowed me to make a new connection–one between pragmatism and social metaphysics.”

I can't formulate it precisely the way I want to right now, but I'll do so later, probably. Thanks for the comment, madmax, and thanks Myrhaf for bringing up this issue concerning Obama.

It seems he wanted to be President to elevate the image of black people in the eyes of the world. He also believes this will give hope to American black youth. This is racial collectivism. So while he is a pragmatist and a social metaphysician, one thing he does take seriously is race consciousness. It would be a rare black politician that would not think that way. ““This I know: When I raise my hand and take that oath of office, I think the world will look at us differently,” he said. “And millions of kids across this country will look at themselves differently.””
