Over this past weekend, mob demonstrations showed some of America's true color and stood as a convincing sign that racism, also official banned and socially incorrect, is still running strong under the guise of folks claiming they're fed up with “big government.” These same individuals, many of white-trash persuasion, brain-washed libertarians, southern conservatives and bible-toting fanatics never showed up during the Bush years to protest public money being dilapidated in Iraq or the Nation's financial debasing for serving unbridled consumerism. One could have thought that Obama’s election to the Presidency was all there would be to public resistance to his mixed race origins, but now that the opposition, the lobbies and all the losers are waking up, they seem incapable to stand that young, smart and capable leader. They feel the urge of bringing him down so they can, once more, feel half-way good about themselves.
Few (but former President Carter) will call this behavior as what it truly is, given the subject's burning nature, but this, in my judgment, remains a very potent truth. Of course, it's not the first time that Barack Obama has to face these mean pressures and false pretenses and I'm quite confident that he'll be quite able to deftly navigates their murky waters. It creates however an undeniable unease that will further increase the chasm between the two main American ideologies and the people they claim to represent. We just need to hang on tightly for a while and remain vigilant during that unpleasant ride...
