Are you frickin' kidding me!? What in the name of all that is good and merciful causes someone to create something like that and what makes someone click on "Like" to something like that? You mean to tell me that you would rather see a father, husband, son, nephew, cousin, loved one to other people dead because you don't "agree" with his command of our nation? Did you feel that vehemently about George Bush when he was tearing up the Iraqi countryside, sending thousands of young men and women to a dusty, sandy grave, trying to make amends for the injustice he felt was done to his father? He could tell the general public all day long that this ignorant war was started because of 9/11, but the truth of the matter was that he used that horrible event as a catalyst to seek revenge on those who'd thwarted his father a decade earlier.
They even went on to click the "Like" button for "Don't blame me, I voted for McCain". You honestly think that John McCain would be fairing much better dealing with the slaughter of fiscal management left behind by Bush, Jr.?
I was in such disbelief that I couldn't even formulate a clear sentence for an hour. It physically pained me to know that after all that this country has been put through, people still see others as a skin color. For all of Barack's education, stability, leadership abilities, transparency, willingness to admit when he's been wrong or ill-advised, many will only see him as a nigger that should've never taken office. And if they could, they would call for a lynching on the front lawn of 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue NW.
It's unconscionable to me that someone would wish death on someone else simply because they think that person is wrong. I couldn't stand George Bush, Jr. but I never wanted the man to die. I knew that even though I didn't like him, he had people who cared about him and who would miss him deeply if he were to die. I didn't want him dead, but I certainly wanted him out of office. And here's the thing: his race and presidential ability never tied together for me. Why? Well, all of the president's up to him were Caucasian. So what did I have to base my dislike and distrust? His actions. Period. I based the bad taste he left in my mouth on his actions. Nothing more, nothing less. That's how I look at any former president - ultimately, what did they do for the United States of America? That's the main question I work from.
But now that we have an African-American president in office, white people are ready to over-turn Abe Lincoln's proclamation and ship us all out to the cotton fields.
God, my heart hurts just knowing that.
