Would a USMB member with a racist picture of the Obama's walk around asking people, 'isn't this funny'? Several posters depict our president and family in the most negative manner and some refer to him in other derogatory terms. If one thing is obvious these past eight years, it is that racism is alive and well in America. This administration brought America out from another republican recession and their horrid job record, and yet the president is criticized as if none of the good stuff happened. Go figure. But racism like Hillary hatred are learned behaviors that fit so well into an immature personality that even pointing out the blatant racism is met with blanket denial. It reminds one of a child caught doing wrong or a captured criminal - who me, not me. The piece below is for the thoughtful, racists can stay in that hate place that gives the weak comfort.
