"Are we ready for an African American President?"

No i dont think we are ready for an african american pesident. The reason why i dont think we are ready is beacuse we were brought having white presidents. This is going to stir up problems with people that are not used to it. I know skin color shouldnt matter because to me it dosen't as long as you get the job done right but to some other peole it does matter and having a black president will create problems.

Does propaganda persuade people to think or act a certain way?

Yes i believe propaganda is used to make people act a certain way. The proganda technique testimonials is used in the ad Renewal by Andersen in the Albuquerque Journal to persuade they are the best window repairment.
