Obama is dividing America

1. Children. Only explanation. Children that never grew up, now self-loathing adults that rally around

racist symbols to give meaning to their meaningless lives.

2. Fine with me as long as these are the folks that get shipped to the FEMA camps...

That would really give them something to bitch about.

3. I clicked preparing to do battle. But this is very good.

4. Obama's presidency only put an end to the smoke and mirrors.

Racism was always here. The reason why we didn't see it right away was because most people only deal with diversity in the work place. Title 8 and Civil Rights Laws have done a tremendous job of raising awareness about how we should work together without devolving to race issues.

But this new battle has a new front. It is in our communities. The resurrection of racism probably got new breath from all the privatization efforts. There are private schools which push right-wing memes, or homeschoolers who don't have any interaction with diversity outside of the dark skinned people they might meet in church, or communities which evolved from the white-flight.

The only way to fight back on a community front, is through civil litigation. And this isn't likely to happen since everything about the status quo is established to resist change.
