AB S T R AC T
This article examines how Barack Obama discusses the race issue in his election
campaign. Obama’s skin colour makes his approach to race issues interesting.
Obama argues that race issues are related to class issues in his A More Perfect
Union speech and his infomercial where he deliberately deals with this issue. To
Obama, solving the economic problems will also help to solve the race problem in
America.
