This image shows a negative but ironic image of African Americans queuing for food at a homeless shelter. The image in the background showing a poster advertising living the 'American Dream' is ironic due to the fact that this is not the case for everyone. The poster shows an ideological white American family, how this is not the case for everyone as seen from the group stood in front. This shows America as being unfair to their citizens, and selling a dream which is not available to everyone due to their skin colour. This representation of America does not consist of the view of it being ‘land of the free’. Whereas the image of Barack Obama below, the current President shows that there is now more opportunity for all, due to the president being an African American. Although there is still opposition to his presidency, it is not as much as precious thoughts.
