Just wanted to say I get what you are saying and it is shameful the way so many people act these days. I'm normally one of those types who avoids touchy subjects, but even I have gotten into arguments lately over political issues, simply because I can't ignore some of the ignorant comments I see lately. Even my friends on Facebook and blogger friends I thought had more sense than they do, have shown me that they really don't understand anything! It's frustrating, to say the least.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4516524448870006829.post-6362208907289464622009-09-21T19:17:41.585-04:002009-09-21T19:17:41.585-04:00Hugs to you on this say anniverary :o)

The bad behaviour of late is clearly ...Dear Sheria,<br />The bad behaviour of late is clearly motivated by racism, and you are right, Obama is too good for this country.<br /><br />I'm disgusted that there was no similar uproar when Bush drug us into Iraq and did his many foul deeds. <br /><br />I don't think it's going to change in this lifetime either. We elected a good, capable, smart man to lead this country, but clearly, a good segment of the populace is prepared to thwart him at every turn. We may have elected a black President, but we certainly have not overcome racism. Not even close.<br /><br />I am disgusted along with you. I don't watch the news much anymore. It makes me too damn angry.<br /><br />I hope it's okay, but I'm linking to your post.<br /><br />I love you. <br /><br />SBSarcastic Bastardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17116577711704241625noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4516524448870006829.post-49932233300956350342009-09-21T03:08:35.683-04:002009-09-21T03:08:35.683-04:00Sheria, I thought I had you e.address but can'...Sheria, I thought I had you e.address but can't find it so will have to say here what I was going to say !!<br />My sister Sarah and I were talking about you just yesterday and she was asking if I had written to you this week as we reckoned that you might be having an extra heavy heart week it being a year since your Mum died...I have just come back from Canada after a 10 day holiday with Mary so please forgive me this late note but be sure that you have been in our thoughts and prayers.<br />love Sybil xxSybilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02516012178494813281noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4516524448870006829.post-77521153286224400662009-09-21T03:02:26.128-04:002009-09-21T03:02:26.128-04:00Oh sheara How I feel for you and all you friends. ...Oh sheara How I feel for you and all you friends.

Obama still got 54% of the vote, those people have not turned against him.<br />But prominent whites have got to stop giving a shit what Rush Limbaugh or Glenn Beck says about them, being attacked by them should be considered the greatest honor and validation. And racism in general needs to be redefined from overt hatred based on skin color (Clarence Thomas and Michael Steele provide just enough deniability) to resentment and fear based on perception. These people perceive black people,as a whole and Obama in particular, as a threat, and react according to their perception. They would be pathetic if they weren't being taken so seriously by the press and politicians. The same press has ignored the leftwing fringe for years--why aren't they doing the same to the right wing wackos? Liberal media, my ass. They didn't investigate claims that got us into Iraq, and they're still pussyfooting about calling overt racism racism.<br />I'm actually wondering if we don't need to start forming armed militias of our own. I'm very pro-non-violence, but damned if I'll go into the cattle car without a fight.Markhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17173711110500689117noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4516524448870006829.post-228987549211802582009-09-21T01:02:28.751-04:002009-09-21T01:02:28.751-04:00Take heart, my friend.

The hatred and nastiness I've been seeing lately has only served to make me more fired up and more willing to speak up and call people out on it. I'm guessing that these yahoos weren't counting on that sort of reaction from people. Surprise!<br /><br />It's hard to believe it's been a year. Sending you warm thoughts and big hugs, my friend.
