I'm tired of all the references to people like MLK and Rosa Parks for a person like obama who had no dog in the hunt...his mother was white, his father (we think) was from Africa. Even Jesse Jackson said he has no slavery background.
Slaves were slaves for over a hundred years before they got around to demanding and fighting for their freedom, that's not impressive.
But, taking away the colored glasses and looking at character, scruples, and actions of obama leave no room for "earned" respect...none, nada. Being one color or the other is not a pleateau for respect to rest upon, it's merely an accident of birth.
His actions, deeds, and ideology are more closely aligned with those of past white and brown communist dictators more than they do anything associated the black race. It's it policies and ideology that we impune, not his race.
The same people who are being called "racist" because they don't like his actions greatly admire Col. West, Herman Cain, and many other black leaders and orators - even the common sense of a lab rat could see that if "race" was the factor, then the people who admine the colonel and Mr. Cain would logically hate them because of color.
While the libs are waiting for their turn to ride the unicorns, America is drowning in debt from an adolescent p-resident who can't say "no" to his sweet tooth or his supporters, and is handing out OUR money like a drunken sailor - not to impune the sailors as obama has never even served in the military and does not RESPECT the military.
Respect obama? No until he does something to be "respected" for...so far, he's only damaged America and shamed us in front of the entire world, and I will never respect him at the bequest of some black journalist or black TV star with judgement based on color, publicity and personal gain.
