Funny. I thought this country made history when for the first time a Black man became President of the US. This was something so many thought would not happen for a long time, but the 2008 elections showed otherwise. What a great step towards a better US to have our first Black President. But…, has this step forward really taken us 2 steps back?
Obama can do no wrong, according to many Democrats. To the point that any contradiction, any opposition, any interruption, comments, disapprovals, dislike or disrespect is nothing but racism, why? Because our President is Black. But this is not limited to Obama; it would seem that since Obama won, racism is now more active than before (taking steps back). Every time there is an incident involving a Black person, it’s racism because they are Black. Remember the Cambridge cop and the College Professor issue? The Van Jones issue?
Are those who oppose Obama’s policies truly racist or are the Democrats using race as a political weapon just like Obama thinks opposition to his policies are politically motivated? It’s sad when those using the race card seem worse than those who are truly racist. We will never overcome the issues our society faces when the problems are watered down and used as an excuse for everything. Racism is real, but it’s not the basis for why a Black person fails, is not liked, is opposed or criticized. Black people in the US are Americans like everyone else and for a Party like the Democrats who claim to believe in fairness, it is sad to see them constantly keep Black people as some kind of separate and special kind of American that need to be handled with extra care. Enough if enough already, if i don’t like you it isn’t because I am racist, it’s because you failed to make me like you. Plain and simple. Be it Obama, Hillary, Sotomayor, Biden, Reid or Pelosi, man, woman, Black, White, Hispanic; if I disagree with you I will do so because of my political beliefs not because of your race or gender.
Democrats should be ashamed of themselves for constantly bringing up racism as the motivation of every Conservative and Republican. I am outraged, I feel insulted, I am ashamed of them. I deserve an apology from the Democrats for calling me a Racist every chance they get with nothing but speculation as proof. No, I demand an apology. You serve us, not the other way around.
Racism continues to live and has found a warm home in the Democratic Party (although history would claim it never left there, it simply redefined itself as reverse racism). So sad.
