Can we stop pretending...

that much, but not all, of the backlash against President Obama is fueled by his ethnicity. I mentioned this a little in my last post, but what were those schools in the South thinking? In case you didn't hear about this, a few districts refused to broadcast Obama's address to students a few weeks ago. They claimed it was because Obama would secretly spread the liberal agenda. Since when is "stay in school" a secret liberal plot against the right? When did it become ok for senators to call the president a liar in the middle of television broadcast? Finally, when did it become ok to raise protest signs like these...





I can't believe how afraid people are. Obama is not going to turn the white people in this country into slaves!!!!!!!!!!!! Way to use trite fear tactics. It's the same argument people use for feminist. "If feminist had their way, men would be the oppressed ones, and we can't have that." Ahhh...so you admit that women are oppressed...it's just you don't want to be oppressed in the same way. This means that you acknowledge that fact there is an injustice, but as long as it doesn't affect you, it's fine. Similarly, many of these protest signs by simply having phrases like "white slavery" admit that people of color have been and still are discriminated against, and now they are afraid it will be reversed. These fears are unjustified, pathetic, and sad.

Let's mask the public's eyes so they can't see that Obama only wishes to bring change to this country. Let's ignore the fact that 3% of the population holds over 90% of the wealth. Let's continue to pretend that Obama's skin color has nothing to do with some of the public's discontent.

America voted...the conservative right is clearly no longer the majority no matter how much Fox news pretends that you are "most of America."

Obama is our president for the next four years...deal with it.
