I posted something on DU the other night and frankly I am shocked by some of the responses to me. I had to leave the thread on its own, I was unable to respond.

I posted without comment an opinion piece by a black man. Yes, black men have opinions, funny that. Yet what I saw from the comments was first, they never read the link. Second they had no clue who the author was or what the excerpt I posted meant. Some thought I was the author. Third, they totally disrespected this mans voice.

I was also told all Presidents are disrespected, not just Obama who happens to be our First African American President. Really?

All WHITE Presidents had a Joe Wilson in their lives that yelled out "YOU LIE!" at SOTU.

All WHITE Presidents have had their Birth Certificate questioned?

All WHITE Presidents had this claim made:

The former Mayor of New York City saying of Obama, “I do not believe, and I know this is a horrible thing to say, but I do not believe that the president loves America…He doesn’t love you. And he doesn’t love me. He wasn’t brought up the way you were brought up and I was brought up through love of this country.”

Why I'm Ready for President Obama to Leave the White House

He must be the most disrespected President in American history.

His last quote breaks my heart.

I’m tired of seeing President Obama blatantly disrespected, and my soul is weary from having to see him grin and bear it. I’m ready for President Obama to be free from the burden of having to perform for white supremacy—and I’m ready to be free from the burden of having to watch him do it.

Guess some do not know me here. I was an Obama supporter long before I joined DU. Everything I have ever posted here was pro Obama, that lead me here to this group. I love AA for its diversity and acceptance of us others.

I posted without comment because I believe their life's experiences should be told far louder than any outsider, it is about them after all and we should listen with all our hearts. Me too. I want him to go as much as I want him to stay.
