The following was inspired by fellow bloggers Jski1012 and Linebacker53 who spoke about the mean and hateful things that have been said about Senator Barack Obama.  

 

I guess we were not “really” surprised as to what an Obama candidacy would bring out of America, if not the world. Racists’ and sexists’ worst fears are, now, upon us. Also, Senator Hillary Clinton and Governor Sarah Palin proved not to be immune.  

 

As I have always stated, I am a 1st Amendment supporter and that is why I do not delete comments from my blogs. The hate-filled comments that we are subjected to should serve as evidence to the world of what type of people we coexist with. People of color and women are the majority people in the world and yet, quite often, we are at the bottom of the socio-economic totem pole while some wish it to remain that way.  

 

Senator Barack Obama’s ascent as the nominated presidential candidate of the National Democratic Party of the United States of America…Wow!...has done so much to uplift the spirit, the esteem and has given hope to so many who heretofore had no dreams, nothing to look forward to.  

 

This movement did not start with Senator Obama. It has been developing every since injustice and inequality has been practiced on these shores. Our DNC presidential candidate’s rise is the culmination of so many people of different backgrounds who fought to bring about fairness and opportunity to everyone in this society. Yet, pockets of recalcitrant haters still exist, a la the Ashley Todd-types, and perhaps, that is useful because it makes us appreciate all that we have gained together as a society.

"all that we've gained" you mean you!!I'm not surprised either that their is racial tension as a result of OBama's Grand ascension.So your saying that Blacks had nothing to look forward to until Obama showed up? You know before you start throwing stones at Whites as the soul instigator of hate guess again!It's amazing in this day and age that their are people like yourself,that see only what they want to. Congratulations on all of your racist accomplishments,at the expense of White America.Affirmative action,Welfare,United Negro College Fund ect....I wonder where you'd be if you were left to your own abilities,and not able to use taxpayer money as means to an end.You know Like Obama and his wife did going to HARVARD on Pell grants and racial quotas that excluded more qualified students for skin color alone! One can only wonder!

...AND THE WHOLE WORLD WATCHES AS SOME IN THIS COUNTRY TRY TO TEAR THIS MAN (O'BAMA) DOWN. A MAN WHO HAS NOT BEEN PROVEN TO HAVE DONE ANYTHING WRONG, VISCIOUSLY ATTACKED, MADE A MOCKERY OF AS WELL AS PUT IN THE SAME CATEGORY AS TIMOTHY McVEIGH AND TED KIZINSKY...ALL BECAUSE OF WHAT, HIS SKIN TONE AND MIDDLE NAME. IT'S NOT LIKE HE GOT HIS EDUCATION THAN RAN OFF TO ANOTHER COUNTRY TO TURN AROUND AND BECOME/DO VILE THINGS SAY LIKE...WHO COMES TO MIND...OH OSAMA BIN LADEN. THATS RIGHT HE (OSAMA) GOT HIS EXPENSIVE EDUCATION HERE IN AMERICA. YET O'BAMA IS STILL HERE, A US CITIZEN IN THE 21ST CENTURY STILL GETS CALLED:

"IF HE WINS...THE "BLACKS" WILL TAKE OVER"
"HE SUPPORTS TERRORIST"
"...THAT MUSLIM THING"
"I AM AFRAID HE AND HIS WIFE ARE ANTI-WHITE"
"HE THINKS WHITE PEOPLE ARE TRASH"
AND LAST BUT NOT LEAST THE ALL PROVERBIAL TERM "NIGRA"

SO PLEASE PUT THE AFFIRMATIVE ACTION, WELFARE, NEGRO COLLEGE FUND, NAACP ETC. WHINE WITH THE CHEESE BACK ON THE SHELF. THOSE PARTICULAR TOPICS SHOULD BE DISCUSEED IN CONTEXT IN ORDER TO MAKE A POINT EITHER WITH OR ABOUT SAID TOPICS. FOR YOUR INFORMATION ALL RACES USE AND BENEFIT FROM TAX PAYER MONEY THEREFORE YOUR QUESTION SHOULD BE I WONDER WHERE WOULD WE HUMANS BE IF WE WERE NOT ABLE TO USE TAXPAYER MONEY AS A MEANS TO AN END. WHY DON'T YOU TAKE THAT OF WITH THE INDIVIDUALS WHO TRULY ARE WASTING AND SPENDING OUR TAX DOLLARS...CERTAINLY AFRICAN AMERICANS ARE NOT IN CONTROL OF THAT...FOR SURE, IF THE TRUTH BE TOLD I WONDER.

“I WONDER WHERE WE HUMANS WOULD BE IF WE WERE NOT ABLE TO USE TAXPAYER MONEY AS A MEANS TO AN END” …well that thought should come as no surprise to many of us, many more than credit given as stated “some in this country” …somehow it’s difficult to illustrate better the constituent ideology the Obama candidacy is built on…

Your Statement; "Yet, pockets of recalcitrant haters still exist"

I just view them as insurgents (like in Iraq). The only difference is; Those in Iraq use weaponry to instill death and those in this country use psychological tampering to slow down progress. One good thing about it is; You live to fight another battle another day over here, that is, if you don't let the BS get to you and hamper your progress...

On another note; This whole ordeal (election mania) keeps reminding me of my Grandmother… Whenever she was cleaning around the house or in the kitchen cooking meals, she would always be humming or singing her favorite song; “We’ve Come This Far by Faith… Can’t Turn Around”

I was surprised to note your remarks backer otherwise I'd have passed on by ...I agree so much with on the tampering thought ...for one thing some how we have to rid the scene of ACORN and it's tampering modes operandi and the Obama campaign has definitely demonstrated that we need to revisit the type of abuse the Obama campaign has been practicing …multiple donors all using the same credit card has popped up as one example of a perversity of campaign funding practices they've allowed yet Obama's opponent has in place measures long utilized in the retail industry that detects this abnormality ...of course there are those who will discount these problems as nothing more than part of challenge in electioning…

Well beagle_buddy:

I see [as you have stated on another post] we're looking at two (2) different sides of the same coin.

I guess that's to say you don't agree so I suppose it indeed seems to be the case...
