The Truth in Black and White.

One encouraging thing I can say right now regarding the possibility that Trump will be our next president is this: At least I will be able to openly criticize a president again without much backlash. The thought of a white male president makes me realize that we have become a nation of whiners, crybabies and bullies. What other country gets so easily offended as Americans? Who else cries over insignificant nonsense as loudly and consistently as us?

I have openly criticized every US president that has held office at one time or another because I never agree with their policies 100% of the time with anyone.

Most of us don’t.

It’s a free country.

 We have a right to speak our minds.

But with President Obama as our leader, I found that any time I criticized one of his policies someone would accuse me of racism.

My thought is that Americans are to blame for this more than the president himself. People tend to forget regardless of race we are all human thus we are imperfect beings. President Obama has received criticism on his handling of the race issue from both the black and white community.

 Actually some of his harshest criticism comes from the black community saying he’s has not done enough or been stronger on fighting racism. But we dare not say this openly because racism has been sanctioned by the Left; , dare I say even encouraged.  Liberals seem to have stolen pride from blacks.

As strange as it may seem, racism in America is no longer mainly about race, but more and more it seems to becoming an excuse, to escape responsibility or to dodge intelligent, respectful debate.  How can we work together to fix problems if certain people are not allowed to talk about race? We need to have the courage to start honest, respectful dialogue about sensitive issues. How can we work together unless we can discuss??

Racism does still exist. Sadly, it always will.  But thanks to the hypersensitive drama kings and queens in this country, the progress we have made as a nation is slowly plummeting into a backwards spin.

People seem to forget the bigger, brighter picture:

We live in a nation with a black president and a black attorney General. Minority voices are being heard. Most wont’ admit it but does anyone realize it seems ok to be discriminatory and racist against Whites based on their color? Do people see that many whites in general are ok with letting that happen for the sake of open dialogue and to reach some kind of unity with other races? Yet there are those who can’t go a day in this country without crying about what a racist country they live in. It’s almost become like a religion to some.

Being offended is a choice you make. No one is responsible for that choice but you.  I am challenging all Americans to throw away the crutch of offendedness and begin to use our intelligent and creative minds to move forward together as Americans. This is the only way we can move away from the path of self- destruction and onto the road to progress.
