And that is the real issue. I have long thought about this. Honestly, it grieves my heart that there is this ongoing racial animosity in this great country, but the more I think about it, the more I come to this conclusion. Most White people (although not all) do not hate Black people simply because of the color of their skin, rather, most White people look at Black society and basically hate what it is, what it has become, and what it represents.

What is the percentage of Blacks are currently in prison relative to their make up in the national population?
What is the percentage of drug use in the Black population?
What is the number of unwed mothers in the Black population?
How many Black woman have multiple children by multiple fathers?
What is the crime rate among the Black population?

Why is it that almost every other minority in America - even Hispanics - has generally thrived in this country? Sure, Blacks were slaves, but they were slaves in many, many other countries as well. In fact, throughout history, many people were enslaved. Whites look at Blacks and ask, "When does it end? When has the debt been repayed?" Further, Whites ask, "Why not stop harboring this grudge from 150 years ago, move on, and improve your lot in life?"

For whatever reason many Blacks, as Obama pointed out, soothe themselves by taking comfort in the fact that their forebearers were at one time oppressed. But one can reasonably ask, "Is this not an excuse merely to absolve yourself from even attempting to succeed?"

Most regrettable is that Black animus against Whites has assiduously been passed down from generation after generation by the likes of Jesse Jackson and Jeremiah Wright. Where are men today like Martin Luther King? No, the real sin of Obama is that he has supported and facilitated the spread of hate through Jeremiah Wright to the next generation of Blacks, including his own children. That is a sad fact, and it is the reason he is unfit to lead this nation.

Many years ago, I used to have “passionate discussions” (Not arguments!) with an intelligent black co-worker who was a liberal democrat.

Every bad thing that ever happened to him, he chalked up as ‘racism’. It’s all they know. It becomes self-reinforcing. Since we’re white, when bad things happen.. we come up with other excuses.... “he didn’t like my long hair”, “He’s a jerk”, etc...

Invariably, our “discussions” would end with him saying: “You just don’t know what it’s like to be black”. To which, I would answer... “No.. and you just don’t know what it is to be white”. We DO NOT look at the world strictly through a racial prism... cause, it’s just not a big deal for us.

I really don’t know how we get past this....

Obama's problem is that he has made it clear he will be an apologist for urban black culture, and will give it even more of a pass from legal and moral sanction than it is already getting. If he had made it clear he would put America first and the tribe second, it might have cost him 10-15% of the Al Sharpton-informed black vote, but he would get many times that back in votes from Reagan Democrats. Now he's in trouble.
