I grew up in a white neighborhood, in a mostly white school.
I say mostly because my first memory of a black man was my first year in high school,
attending the graduation. I still remember to this day, many years later, an
audience full of wildly cheering students and parents, cheering for one young
black man. I don't know whether his accomplishments were scholastic or
athletic, but I know he was well loved and respected in our school.
Fast forward to my friendship with a black woman at work. We
were pregnant together, and had our babies together. Not much brings women
together more than motherhood, regardless of skin color or ethnicity. No one
cares what color you are!
So today I am stunned to see the rampant racism existing in
our society, almost wholly coming from the Left I believe. Every Liberal
commentator blames racism for even the slightest criticism of President Obama.
We all remember the disgusting, hateful attacks aimed at President Bush, yet no
one was accused of hating white people. Blacks are expected to be Liberals, and
when they are not, when they are Conservative, men or women, they are smeared,
degraded, and assaulted with the most vile, hideous language imaginable. Anyone
on Twitter or Twitchy knows this is fact. Outstanding black patriots who believe in
conservative principles are too numerous to mention. Some of the best are running
for office in November.
I pray our country will stand with them and reject the
vicious onslaught against them. I pray all Americans will see beyond color and vote based on
ideas, values, character, vision and accomplishments.
