Jimmy Carter Speaks Out On Racism Toward President Obama
September 16th, 2009I rarely write about political topics on my blog, but when I heard former President Jimmy Carter speak about the undertones of racism in the opposition against President Obama I had to write about this. When I see avatars on Facebook of President Obama in white face, when I still receive emails that he is not a US citizen, when I see posters at tea parties portraying our President as a voodoo doctor, I can longer sit back quietly.
If the opposition, those that attend tea parties, those that go to town hall meetings to shout down people that are attempting to learn about Health Reform will take the time to denounce these blatant acts of racism, then maybe I’ll start to believe that you are fighting against policies and not against the President’s race.
Denounce the racism! It is that simple. I do remember Senator McCain not allowing any racist comments during his campaign against then Senator Obama. I know there were several local Republican committee leaders that did so too when mailings or emails went out with racist overtones. There may be others, but there needs to be more. If not, we will have more outbursts like Rep. Joe Wilson’s and more frightening events too.

I’m a wife and mom of two daughters. My daughters are 12 years apart so that keeps me quite busy and a little crazy at times. My life is a jumble of mixed up mishaps, but it’s always centered around my family.
