In an article published in the Western Journal of Black Studies, Stanley Gaines argues that President Barack Obama has successfully balanced both his white and black heritages. Gaines references W.E.B. Du Bois' theory of African Americans struggling to reconcile their African and American identities. Gaines shows how Obama serves as a model for peacefully embracing both aspects of his multiracial background. The student provides a positive evaluation of the article, agreeing that Obama has been wrongly accused but finds it may confuse general readers due to undefined terms.
