I seem to remember Obama commenting on Gabby Giffords....she is white
I somewhat remember him commenting on the kids at Sandy Hook Elementary.....they were white
But I must be mistaken, Obama is a racist and only comments when things happen to black people
When he commented on Giffords and Sandy Hook, the issue of race wasn't raised. When he spoke of Trayvon Martin, Clayton Lockett, and Henry Louis Gates Jr., race WAS a key factor in his comments.
So what? Can't you understand why that is? In my lifetime I have witnessed discrimination against blacks, simply because they were black. There are people alive today who remember black people being lynched and nothing being done to stop it, in fact, the law condoning it. I remember my parents talking about going to a restaurant with a black friend and coworker (they were teachers) and being told "We don't serve coloreds here."
So black people are still climbing out of that hole where not so long ago in this country it was perfectly acceptable to discriminate against blacks and even kill them if they smiled at a white girl.
Perhaps if white people had ever been oppressed in this country, had ever been singled out and discriminated against simply because they were white...perhaps then some of you would "get it."
But I know perfectly well why a lot of people don't get it. Because they're racists that why. They're outraged that a ****** managed to get himself elected as President of the United States of America.
I mean, how dare these black people remember their history of oppression in this country. They should just get over it, right, and move along? Even though a lot of the racism is still occurring, eh?
And how dare a black president try to further the cause of equality for blacks in this country? How dare he! If he sees any incidents where blacks are quite obviously being profiled because they are black, he should just shut up, right?
Well, guess what, he can speak up if he wants to. And let me remind some of you racists, this is his SECOND term. That means he was REELECTED. By the AMERICAN PEOPLE. Get over it.
