May each of you have the heart to conceive, the understanding to direct, and the hand to execute works that will leave the world a little better for your having been here. -- Ronald Reagan

Glad We Live in a Post Racial America III

Washington Post gave little coverage of the massive 9/12 rally in DC, but did give notable coverage to the Black Family Reunion, and how they thought the protest wasn't about the Democrat controlled congress and Statist president taking the country down the road to socialism and fascism. It was of course a protest of white people angry about a black president.

Reporter Yamiche Alcindor: "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."

A participant of the Black Family Reunion, Vera Hope: "It' s not conducive to the coalitions we need to build in this country." "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."

Perhaps Alcindor, Vera Hope, and the WaPo need to keep in mind that with 52.7% of the popular vote, that maybe more than just a few white people voted for Obama.

Violence? Where's that? When Leftists protest, there's destruction, riot police, arrests. How many millions of dollars of destroyed buildings were there this past weekend? How many arrests? Did the protesters throw rocks at the police, and through store front windows?

Not once, since the American people began questioning the policies of the Democrat congress and our Dear Leader, has Obama said anything about the charges of racism toward people that question his policies. He should not only do that, but at the next White House press meeting, he should show up, denounce the people charging racism, and apologize on behalf of his followers, and say he has zero tolerance for it.

But he won't. Sure glad to be living in a post racial Amerika.
