I can remember as a young man having various negative stereotypes of black people, native Americans, Jews, and Asians being put forth as truth. Thankfully, at least for this man, these foolish misconceptions have been dispelled. I believe there still are those who harbor some of these racist feelings!
The new way to disagree with me is to call me a racist, and so many who are white, like me, wither away. Facts are facts! If I say poverty is increasing significantly under the current President, I am racist. If I say black unemployment is at a historic high, I am a racist. If I try to point out that our debt as a nation is rising at an alarming rate, you got it, I am a racist. I have come to the conclusion that every white person is viewed as guilty of serious crimes from our forefathers, and therefore we are to be discredited.
The political environment is impossible to change when the magic words push any common sense off the table. Our media certainly roles over at the thought of being called a racist, as are so many in the political arena. -- Enough
