No, everyone has their preferences and regardless of skin color this country is politically divided. The majority of those that hated him from day one hated him because he was a Democrat.

The rest is just insults and conjecture. People aren't afraid that this country and the world are becoming less and less racist.

Look around, it is getting worse.

Muslims seek to wipe all others off the face of the planet. We fight in this country amoungst blacks, whites and hispanics. There is still genocide in Africa. In Muslim countries, gender based offenses are rampant.

No one is worried, even the ones with hate in their hearts, that this world or our country is getting too bright or rosy.

If me posting factual data causes you to deflect and think I have a problem, maybe you should look in the mirror.

This "group of people" are a part of our society that has huge problems that effect us all. Blacks were doing much better as a whole in the past, despite real racism they faced. However once we started treating them like victims incapable of fending for themselves and giving financial incentives that helped create fatherless homes, things have gone down exponentially.
Young boys of any race need a father figure to guide them into becoming responsible young men in our society. Sure single mothers and grandmothers do their best, but it is no substation for a man in the house helping to raise them. Once the boys reach a certain age, there is no one to keep them in line, and they know it.
Until this problem is addressed, we can pretend white people are the problem all we want, but things will only get worse.

I finally had an opportunity to read Obama's remarks from today. That man is doing his best to divide this country, no doubt about it. I've never seen a modern day president be so overtly and maliciously divisive than I have now.

It's almost as if he's using this debacle as a device to keep Americans looking the other way, or to get steamed about an issue that shouldn't even be an issue at all - as if he wants our attention diverted so that his administration and congress can continue to operate with complete impunity from the American citizen.

That's not true.

German Jews looked down upon Russian born and raised Jews the way the Scots-Irish looked down upon the Irish. Basically, Western European Jews did not care for Eastern European Jews. The former much preferred the company--and closer identification--with gentile Western Europeans and mainstream, middle-class American whites.

Some Jews were ideological sympathizers of the Nazis in the beginning, until it became clear to them that Nazis were going to kill and exterminate Jews. The Jewish founders of Israel had some questionable association with Jews as well.

In the nation-state of Israel their have been some accusations of racism against Ethiopian Jews in the country. While essentially a converted people, over some thousands of years ago, it's worthwhile distinguish "Hebrew" from "Jewish." The a pagan can be the former and the latter can be of non-ethnic Hebrew ancestry.

Just wanted point that out.

Oh no, have you ever seen such animosity and such vile and racists comments toward any other dem president. I can understand if they have been if office for awhile and they don't like his politics. But this started from the day he was elected and he hadn't even enacted any policies

Looking at Obama's sheltered life withgoing to private schools in his early life and elite colleges, I doubt it.
He said it HAD happened to him. And he was in the mainland for a number of years in a number of places before doing law school at Harvard.

That just makes no sense to me. Isn't it a lottery system there. You did your duty and should not be put back into the system for awhile,
