On Saturday, tens of thousands of protesters thronged to the U.S. Capitol to angrily accuse President Obama of taking the country in the wrong direction.
A day later, in the shadow of the Washington Monument, many participants at a much smaller gathering -- the 24th annual Black Family Reunion -- said the level of hostility toward the nation's first African American president had little to do with policy differences over health care or taxes and everything to do with race.
"It' s not conducive to the coalitions we need to build in this country," said Vera Hope, 60, of Mount Rainier as she left a booth promoting health prevention. "I'm disgusted and upset by the hostility. Let's call it was it is -- it's just a disguise for right-wing racists. They are fomenting a climate of violence to provoke people."
From its inception, the two-day event has focused on healing and uplifting black families. This year's theme was "Renewing, Reviving and Reconnecting the Family Community." It featured musical performances, health screenings and motivational speakers.
Although less animated than Saturday's protesters at the Capitol, the reunion participants were just as heartfelt as they talked about the change they want for America.(continued)

“Now we cant criticize Obama because hes black.”
Come on, you had to know this was going to happen.
Too damn bad, I say. We are going to criticize, resist and obstruct Obama at every left wing turn he takes.
If the left wants to say we are racists, too damn bad.
just updating my tag line
The overwhelming majority of Americans simply don't care about the color of Obama’s skin. Those who protest his policies are simply protesting his policies, and I thank you commie race pimps for showing the entire country exactly what you're all about with the nonstop claims of racism which you squeal about solely to stifle any and every criticism of your marxist hero.
The only racists I'm seeing now are those who support Obama.
Nothing to do with race !! NOTHING....I would vote a conservative black into office right now!!!!
Hear, hear.......
So what's the explanation for the "level of hostility" against Justice Clarence Thomas? Doesn't that have "everything to do with race" as well?
Or is that completely different, because he's a conservative?
OK, now there's proof Obamacare's bad for you.
"I'm disgusted and upset by the hostility."
Translation: "I'm disgusted and upset by people who refuse to bend over while my Dear Leader picks their pockets in order to fill my purse with free stuff."
" Let's call it was it is -- it's just a disguise for right-wing racists.
Translation: "The 1st Ammendment is a sheet. A big sheet with eye holes covering people who should have a tire hung around their necks, filled with gasoline and set alight for voicing their racist ideas of liberty and personal responsibility. What we need is for everybody to shut up and quietly follow our Dear Leader over a cliff, peace be upon Him. We need to shred the Bill of Rights and other honky written trash. We should pile the Constitution, their their protest signs and books in the street and burn them. Then ACORN and the Nation of Islam can go break some storefront windows and intimidate old people and such."
They are fomenting a climate of violence to provoke people."
Translation: "Their peaceful protest is fomenting a climate in which we progressives will be provoked into violently shutting these protesters up. "

May 2008-It was official. I was now living in Africa on my own with the locals. I had moved into my new house away from the University of Botswana.

Oh, yeah, that sounds like she is seeking healing. /s
But, I forgot, it is just white people who are supposed to bend over and grab the ankles.
It can’t be that we disagree with Obama, et al, ON ISSUES while he arrogantly tries to shove his policies down our throats which will affect us for YEARS to come! No, we are all just a bunch of racist hicks. They can all KMA!
More than once!
It's time to close those accounts and demand payment in full with interest!
The race baiters in the media are driving this demagoguery.
Hell Yea, we are only bitchin at the Cracker half!

George Bush doesnt care about black people,. Theyre saying black families are looting and white families are just looking for food theyre giving the (Army) permission to shoot us.
The problem Obama is having besides being a liar, no one is falling for the Race Baiting crap anymore.
