Alipac is where I learned of this story. I never saw it on any tv news show, but the Trayvon Martin story dominates print and tv these days. I DO believe Barack Obama has played a tremendous role in the decline of race relations in this country. His personal, and his administration's words and actions have demonstrated time and again his disdain for the white race - even though he himself had a white mother, white grandparents...
There are certain white folks who will always feel a hatred of anyone who isn't 'aryan'. That's a fact. On the other hand, there are blacks that feel like since we have a 'black' president (they have overlooked his 'white' half), they can do pretty much whatever the heck they want to do. And let's face it, the Obama justice department has all but given them the OKAY to attack or intimidate whites. Now I don't believe the majority of either whites or blacks are this extreme in their views of the other, but things do seem to be changing for the worse on both sides of the equation. Obama is a divider. This country certainly was ready for a 'black' president, one that would have united and strengthened us as a nation. We just wound up with the WRONG black president, and that fact will hurt any other good and decent black man or woman who decides to run for the office for many years to come.
