President Barack Obama: Facing Racism In America

If one ever wanted to question whether or not racism still exist in America, he or she now knows that it does, after the election of Barack Hussein Obama as the 44th president of the United States. White racism has proliferated like never before, and the vast majority of it is coming from the Tea Party crowd. The Tea Baggers have shown an unadulterated hatred for President Barack Hussein Obama. Many of them have come to political rallies, with guns and signs of Obama looking like Adolf Hitler. It is very difficult for many whites to conceptualize a black man being in the White House. When Obama reached the level of the U.S. presidency, it knocked down all notions of white supremacy. Let it be understood however, when I speak about white supremacy or white racism, I am not talking about all white Americans. There are several whites who do not agree with the actions of the Tea Party crowd, and there are many whites who are neither racists nor sexists. Also, let it be understood that racism does not come from just one group. Blacks, Hispanics, Asians, and others can be racists as well. Nevertheless, no one can deny that racism is playing a major role in Barack Obama’s presidency. For example, it was racism when South Carolina’s Congressman, Joe Wilson, called President Obama a liar, while Obama was making his State of the Union address, to the nation. It was racism when the Republicans, along with their Tea Party crowd, were willing to let the entire country suffer default on it’s debts, in order to embarrass President Obama. Think about it for a moment. These right wing radicals, were willing to let all of us suffer, due to their racial hatred toward Barack Hussein Obama, what a shame. It is white racism when U.S. Senator minority leader, Mitch McConnell (R-KY ), constantly emphasizes that his number one mission, is to make sure that President Obama is a one term president. However, President Obama, brought a lot of this on himself, by appearing to be too soft. He should not have tried to compromise with the Republicans in the first place. One cannot neither negotiate nor compromise, with individuals or groups who perceives one to be subhuman. In other words the Republicans along with the Tea Baggers, are not  going to compromise with a nigger, and this is exactly how they see President Barack Hussein Obama, and he needs to wake up and smell the coffee. Also, Michelle his wife, needs to start being more vocal and show more public support for her husband, and stop running around wearing dresses with her arms all out. Wearing such attire, may be great for the woman around the corner, but not for the first lady of the United States. At best Michelle Obama is a ” C “, in looks, and the mass media needs to stop lying by saying that she is so beautiful, because she is not. On her best day, she is just average. President Obama has tried to do a lot in creating jobs for the American people, but those racists Republicans, along with their Tea Party freaks, in the U.S. House of Representatives, are blocking all the good that he is trying to do. For example, Obama has put forth legislation for jobs in the building of  infrastructures across the U.S., the hiring of thousands of police officers, firefighters, and school teachers. He also has put forth legislation, to increase job training for youth, between the ages of 16 to 25, so that they can be marketable to work, upon graduating from these programs. Unfortunately, such proposed legislation has been constantly blocked, by right wing fanatics in the House of Representatives. If Barack Hussein Obama, is elected for a second term, he must take off the kid gloves, and start fighting like a heavy weight champion. Then the Democrats, Progressives, and others will truly see the champion that he had always been.

  1. Troy Akins says:

    I agree with this article. Racism is alive and cooking and simply based on they complexion of his skin he will be hated by few no matter what he accomplishes or what he says. It is true that many people are willing to go to great length to watch him fall from grace but luckily their efforts have all failed and Obama still stands strong today running this country. It is sort of cruel how some would sacrifice the well being of the people just to embarrass Obama. That says al ot about their character and the way they feel about the people. Just for them to gleam in pride they would sacrifice the people, that is very unfortunate that people today really think that would be ok.
