My wife is the most unprejudiced person I know. She has described friends of hers or co-workers to me “You met her last year - she's the short skinny gal that has bangs - remember? Um she was serving the hot dogs at that table.”
“Oh - you mean that black gal?”
“Yes - that's her.”
Just the other day she was in tears.
“Obama, all this black lives matters crap, everybody calling Republicans rascist. For the first time in my life I DO notice people's color, and wonder if I should make an extra effort to be nice, or how do I act. I HATE it!!”
We both had high hopes that when obama was elected that would be a real turning point in ending racism in America. Well - it was a turning point. To the worse. FUBO.
That last is the real legacy of the Obama Presidency, unfortunately. We all hoped he’d be the start of the post-racial America, and instead we got racial agitation from the community agitator in chief, starting almost immediately with his remarks in the Henry Louis Gates incident, which led to the Beer Summit.
***For the first time in my life I DO notice people’s color, and wonder if I should make an extra effort to be nice, or how do I act. I HATE it!!***
Your wife and I have similar feelings. Instead of being color blind, we are now asked and expected to live in a color aware society. The left keeps moving the goalposts. I’m more confused than ever.
