Gosh, with Obama's election almost a year ago, after his election, people were saying that we now live in a post-racist society. But with the Limbaughs, Roves, Becks, fuckin' teabaggers et al.
and this most recent (diversionary) attack on Acorn
(and not to mention ...Vermont's oh so wonderful -- according to Seven Days -- Rep. Peter Welch doing the Racist Republicans bidding in voting against funding of that agency)...
just watch today's DN! interview with Bertha Lewis, the CEO of Acorn
and say it ain't so.

The reason we don't live in a post-racial society is because people continue to make accusations of racism when race is not the issue. It's almost funny how conservatives can make the same criticisms about Pres. Obama that they made about Pres. Clinton and it's called racism. I fail to see how anything would be different if Obama was white, except the left would have to defend their positions, rather than resort to race-baiting.
ReplyDeleteThankfully, only 12% of the public thinks the criticisms of the president are racially motivated.
I must also add that I am not saying this with an angry tone, since everyone knows all conservatives are angry, hateful people! I still love ya, Jay, even when you're wrong! ;)
Strange that the obvious can be so hard to see...
