Ever since Obama took office, he and his administration have played the race card without abeyance. To white crowds, he extolled his white grandmother. To black crowds, he threw her to the wolves. Then we had Sotomayor. Now we have articles on how your baby must be born racist, and accusations by Jimmy Carter that Joe Wilson's outburst was born of racism.
America has never been concerned with race. Here, we care what you do, and not who your father was. The people who cry race are those that seek to drive a wedge between us. I remember working with Cameron at UPS during college who, when asked to fill out a company survey, complained "Why do I have to mark African American? Why can't I just be an American?"
On my trip to Boston, I came across some famous Americans of other complexion to whom I wish to draw your attention.
Crispus Attucks, killed in Boston 5 March, 1770
Prince Estabruck, wounded on Lexington Green 19 April, 1775
"unknown Negro", wounded at Charlestown, 19 April, 1775
Peter Salem, killed Major Pitcairn, famous for Lexington, at the battle of Breed's Hill, 17 June 1775
These men were all heroes in their own right who fought for freedom long before the prospect was ever put forth to end slavery in the south. First, it was absolutely critical to end slavery to the British Crown.
Everything that irritates us about others leads us to an understanding of ourselves. I have noted that the thing that bothers people most about others is the thing about themselves they most wish were not. When they say "stop bickering", they are bickerers. When they say, "stop the games", they play them. When they say, "Put an end to racism", they are ashamed that they themselves are racists.
The more you draw attention to something you wish to go away, the longer you prolong it before the eyes of the people. If you want it to go away, let it go. When denigrators can no longer get a rise out of you, they will drop the assault. What Obama and his ilk want is for us to cease being Americans, to lose our faith in God and the Founding Fathers and trust in him for deliverance.
Complexion does not make men great leaders. Shaving, suits, and speeches do not make a man trustworthy. About 2000 years ago, a bearded man in sandles who drew in the dirt, befriended fishermen, and spent his time with sinners walked the earth. He was a Jew by birth, a carpenter by trade, a king by ancestry, a teacher by right, and one of the most pivotal men who ever walked the earth. in the end, he was taken before an unjust trial, condemned to death, beaten, scourged, and crucified. Obama is no Christ, and his skin color has nothing to do with it.
The greatest "man" to walk the earth ever was actually a Jew. Chew on that Jimmy Carter.
