I’ve felt that Obama was a racist from the first day I decided to learn something about him. He recently reinforced my view with a careless comment on a women’s daytime gab show. Paraphrasing, Obama says we are mongrels, then quickly adds, so are white people, but we know more about it. It’s this whole, “we know more about it” part that I think shows the inherent racial lens Obama sees the world through. What I learned from the Shirley Sherrod incident, is that there’s probably more people than I thought that think that way, and it’s sad, to me.
I have a nephew who feels it’s okay to hit someone for calling him a nigger, but there’s plenty of black people who use the word, (which I used to find offensive), and yet they don’t get hit. Let me spell this out for you. If you believe someone should be treated differently because of the colour of thier skin, you are demonstrating a racist belief. Blacks or whites who want to be treated special because of their skin, want to perpetuate racism. If you have a problem with people of one skin colour using an offensive word, but not another, you’re being a racist.
Stop raising young folks who think being called a name justifies violence.
As for racism as a political tool, it has long been a standard staple of the democratic party. Don’t take the bait. A vote for democrats is a vote for racism. democrats are for faction against faction, division instead of unity. It’s been that way for a long time. Don’t vote for them, if you want to see a united United States.
