I remember when Barrack Obama was sworn in as the first African American President, I thought to myself, this is the moment when our country will finally be able to address the race issues head on. I knew this man was smart enough to know that he had to be the President of all people and not just the people of color. I knew that if he was given a chance, he would be able to show that the only time people of color get upset is when their accused of hating before you take the time to get to know them.
President Obama wasn't in the front door of the White House before the streets of Washington D.C. became flooded with " So called, God fearing, fair minded, Christians." The things they were saying about him, his wife and his two daughters were outrages. I must say, he's a better man then I am, I know the saying, "sticks and stones can break my bones but names will never hurt me", but I'll tell you, I might have lost it when the name calling deflected off of me and zeroed in on my kids.
Ted Kennedy, (D) Senator from MA, was one of the first power brokers in politics to push Obama towards the White House, Ted died not knowing if his dream of universal health care would become a reality, it did and I know it's the truth that Obama made a deal, you help me get in there and I'll push it through.
Now, the party of Inclusion, the good God fearing, respectful, republican party members who claim, " we're not racist!!, we have a lot of black friends!!, took to the streets, before they knew what the health care law would do for them, and God knows some of them need to see a doctor, took to the streets carrying signs, carrying guns, swearing, cussing, carrying images of a monkey in a hang mans noose, white on black crimes spiked, laws were passed allowing people, white people, because the first time a person of color kills a white person and sites the self defense law, that person of color is still going straight and I mean straight to jail, with no bail. All of the obvious racist activities that are going on today, voter suppression, shorting the hours a Democratic voter station is allowed to stay open while in the same state, republican voter stations are permitted to stay open after 5pm, [Ohio] you know when most people get off work. Cutting back on Sunday voting because most African American Churches vote after church on a Sunday [souls to the polls.]
To me, it's obvious, the racism and the hate that flows from the right, now, don't get me wrong, I don't think everybody in the republican party is a racist, and by all means the democratic party is full of racist as well, let's be real. Nobody on the left was walking down the street carry a sign like this.
