The major part of your comments are identical to my own. We definitely part company regarding your opening. First of all most of the people attending the inauguration will not be black. Black people will certainly be there in large numbers. I won’t, even if I had a ticket. There will be lots of leftist white people there too, who in my view are as goofy as the blacks.
I do understand the symbolic impact of seeing a black man become president. I appreciate the historic significance of that happening. It is too bad that this clown is not the black man who should be in the White House.
I am an American of African descent. It bothers me that the majority of my people voted for Obama simply because he is black. They, like almost everybody else who voted for him, know almost nothing about him. The MSM certainly screened any info that might impede his becoming POTUS. We will all pay for that, and very quickly too.
I was born into a racist nation in 1935. I have experienced being black in that contemptably racist nation. I am a veteran of the Korean Conflict. I am a taxpayer. I have worked since I was twelve years old. I was never a security guard.
I am aware that there will always be racists in this country. Personally I believe that racists are miserable people who have an abnormal need to feel superior to others. In fact racists are a threat to the survival of this nation becuase they provide ammunition to those who hate America and choose to view it as racist, imperialistic, homophobic, etc.
Firehat, as far as I’m concerned you can be as racist as you choose. This is supposed to be a free country. Fortunately I am free to let you know that I think your opening comments are not only racist but stupid as well.
Skip, God Bless you and thank you for not ony for your service to our country but your obvious love for her. I understand your comments and am sensitive to them for I don’t like to see comments such as the “security guard” comment either. That said, we need to get over the sensitivity in regard to such comments while at the same time tolerating the behavior of some Americans of African descent. I am white. It is true some white people are and have been racist. I don’t feel any need to defend them. They don’t define who I am in any way. I think you need to see the “security guard” comment in the same way. just my $.02
