Race Bait

Millions of white Americans have felt disenfranchised since Barack Obama was elected president in 2008. And the face of this black man, this nation's first black president, the black man that has made so many whites seethe with anger because they believe that a black man is inherently not American, that a black man and his family should never sully the pristine whiteness of the very seat of white culture, The White House, this black man's heart is heavy with pain and sorrow as he continues to carry the ever increasing weight of the black cross upon his back.

The drumbeat of "take our country back" became the clarion call for white, conservative Republican candidates trying to procure the Republican nomination for president in 2012, including the Mormon, Mitt Romney. And exactly whom were these gladiators of politics trying to wrest their country back from; a foreigner, a communist, a socialist, or worse, a terrorist? Why, no. The country was and is in danger from that duly elected, twice now, black president rumored to be a Muslim and of course not American. The idiocy of those claims do not deserve recounting or even addressing.
