I knew that there would be a "buzz," but I do not believe that it will ever be carried through.
I will never say that we should let our guard down, but I am not breathing life into this hatred. Part of the way that racists try to control others is with fear. I remember in the beginning, people barely wanted to vote for Barack out of fear he'd be killed if he made it too far in the race. All I heard was, "I'on know. They gon' kill him!" I even had to control the buzz amongst my own friends. I'm talking about young, college-educated adults! Had that fear taken hold, I don't even think we'd have made it to the eve of the first Black president being elected in this country.
Even on GC, there are always persons talking about how "they" should not be held responsible for the acts of their ancestors. Well, I think that there is no better time than now to have them to prove it. Of course, there are ALWAYS going to be a few "renegade" racists out there that would rather live amidst poverty, a failing stock market, skyrocketing foreclosures, rising unemployment, energy crises, etc. than to see a BLACK man change this country. However, how long should we be held to this "fear?" What time will EVER be the right time? I say that the time is NOW and I hope this doesn't now deter anyone from voting.
Racists are a pain in the a**, especially these jokers! Their little plot was foiled and that should be a lesson to their comrades. Their wackness is overwhelming and the government will hopefully throw the book at them. They should be punished severely.
These same clowns will be kissing Barack's feet when this country is back on track.
