Re: Obama Protesters Sing 'Bye Bye Black Sheep,' in AZ
Ever consider if he were a white red-head, they would have signs about gingers having no souls? Political discontent and protest very often manifests itself in the way the person believes will be most effective at getting their point across. Maybe it is racism; maybe it is just politics wrapped in a message you don't like. It isn't as if suddenly the first black guy was elected and only then people suddenly became hateful and distasteful towards them. Care to guess how many photos of carved up fetuses I saw when I worked in DC? Dozens a day.....
What she's expressing is clear and obvious racism. And what you're doing is serving as an apologist for it. You're justifying it. I lived through the 60's and I can tell you this is every bit as bad if not worse. At that time we didn't have laws in place. Today we do but the messaging is more subtle. The Dog Whistles are obvious. And so is the racism. Having a Black President has brought it up to the surface. It's always been there.
