"WE STILL HAVE TIME TO HATE IN THIS COUNTRY"
BY: DR. FOREST LEWIS
Despite all of the chaos in the world, not to mention the decadence in our society, it would appear that milllions of Whites still find time to hate!
I grew up during the Jim Crow era in the South. For those of you not familiar with this apartheid system, let me just say that it made Blacks and Native Americans feel less than a person. Water fountains were clearly marked, "Colored Or White." Our movie theatres were segregated. I can remember in my small town, Whites had to sit on the lower level of the movie house, while Blacks were told they had to go upstairs. Other signs of Jim Crow included, Blacks having to sit in the back of city buses. I can also remember asking my mother why we couldn't sit at the counter during a hot August day, and have a coke like the White people were doing. My mother said we weren't allowed too. That was perplexing to a six year old boy. Yet, I perservered!
Jim Crow is now dead and buried. I won't lose any sleep over that. However, as one White person once told me, "You Can't Legislate That I Love Black People." He was right. We have now gone from overt racism to a covert form of hate!
Barack Obama is facing that hatred as he attempts to become this nation's first Black President. Although technically, he would be the first "Bi-Racial President." However, in America, the old rule of having an ounce of Black blood, makes you Black still applies." Stupid, but it still exists. And his "Democrat" opponents have made sure that Whites never forget that "He Is A Black Man."
It is interesting that the party that preaches "Tolerance," is the same party that embraces racism. That being the "Democrat Party." People like Bill and Hillary Clinton, Geraldine Ferraro, and the Governor of Pennyslyvania Ed Rendell, can never look a black person in the face and say to them, "Those Republicans Are The Real Racists." The "White Sheets" have been removed from the faces of democrats!
The Associated Press is reporting that White people who say that race is the deciding factor for them, are picking Hillary Rodham-Clinton twice as much as Barack Obama. The A-P took an exit poll from democrat primaries, and the results are shocking and disturbing to say the least. Polling data shows that Whites were "Three Times Likelier To Say They Would Only Be Satisfied With Clinton As The Nominee Than If Obama Were Chosen."
Although Obama is closing the gap in Pennsylvania's upcoming primary, if the A-P's polling data is correct, and there is little reason to doubt its validity, Clinton should walk away easily with a win in the Keystone state. However, this is not something that Rodham-Clinton should stand up and cheer about. If Whites cast their ballots for her based on the hue of her skin, what is that saying about how these people feel about her genuine ability? What it tells me is that these people are so full of hatred that they would be willing to place an incompetent boob in the White House, just as long as that boob "Is White."
Pennsylvania has a large bloc of White voters. Pennsylvania in a sense could be indicative of the rest of the country, which is predominatly White, "For Now." I say for now, because it is estimated that by the year 2035, Hispanics will outnumber Whites in this country. If the rest of the country feels the way that White democrats feel about a Black candidate, John McCain will easily become this nation's next president. But, based on what? The color of his skin, that's what! I say McCain will become the next President because there is no way that the ever arrogant Hillary Rodham-Clinton will be allowed to steal the nomination from Barack Obama!
Isn't it interesting that in this country, we have a group of people, namely homosexuals who are ready to rip this culture asunder, yet, it would appear that millions of White Americans are still hung up on race? Isn't it interesting that in this country just last week, a former woman who now considers herself a man, although she still has a vagina, is about to give birth to a child? Yet, many Whites are more focused on race. Isn't it interesting that our government is turning more and more toward socialism, yet myriad Whites attention is on the color of a person's skin, "Rather Than The Content Of His Or Her Character?" Yes, it is truly interesting. Our country is going to hell in a handbasket, but there is still time to hate. This is taking obsession to the extreme!
What is causing this phenonmenon? Fear! Anyone with half a brain understands that Hillary Rodham-Clinton is clearly too incompetent to be President of The United States of America. But, because of fear, there are millions of Whites who are willing to hand this woman the keys to 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. Is John McCain presidential timber? No way! but, nor is Barack Obama in my opinon. This is the worst group of presidential contenders to come down the pike in years. But, I wouldn't vote for Obama, simply because he is Black. I wouldn't vote for John McCain because he and I are Vietnam Veterans. I wouldn't vote for Hillary Rodham-Clinton under, "No Circumstances!"
America needs to come to grips with what is a fait acompli. America in less than "Fifty Years Will Have A President Of Color." And all of the hatred in the world can not stop this inevitable fact. I wished that I could say we will have a woman President in fifty years. But, I fear that Hillary Rodham-Clinton has blown the chance for women with her amorphous positions. This woman can't make up her mind on whether she is a strong female, or "Just A Girl." Mix in a bunch of lies, and questionable income, yes, I would say that she has hurt deeply, the chances that a woman will be President in most of our lifetimes!
Although Jim Crow has died in many ways, there are still remnants of this hate filled system that lives in the souls of men and women. This is not something to be proud of. Truth be told, people who hate to this degree should be ashamed of themselves!
Time will eventually drive a stake through the heart of this hatred once and for all!
Supporters of this discriminatory system can do one of two things, (1) Get with the program, or (2) Be prepared to be trampled by a sea of change!
The undercurrents are swirling now!
If you are smart, you will take the time to listen!
