Well tell us how you really feel!

Maybe it is me... Maybe I have been naive to the fact... But until November of 2012, never have I witnessed such blatant racism & disrespect. I think it is pointless to say that everyone of our ancestors, black, white & indifferent, that have ever fought for equality, have turned over in their graves. Twice. I mean my mouth just hits the floor when I hear of the remarks & petitions to secede & the threats to the president.  And in all honesty, a LOT of the remarks are made by people that do not poses the necessary capabilities to withdraw from throwing temper tantrums in comparable to that  of 5 year old. I also do not think they fully understand the point of political debates nor presidential races. There are ways & conditions that call for one to agree to disagree. And one of those conditions are when the difference of opinions leads to the degrading of race, color, or religion. It is beyond me that the idiots making majority if the comments, have likely for years been in the company of great friends whom are black or Latino. Now that this degree of severe, perhaps unforgivable disrespect has been shown, a much needed bridge has been burned, without thought, cast into deep dark waters to be washed away, and quite frankly pissed upon. Blessed am I to have been passed over by the comments directly from people that I actually know. I can agree to simply disagree with an opinion and walk away with my dignity. I think it is down right ignorant to classify a certain race as lazy, or entitled when you know nothing about the other than what ethnicity they appear to be. It is beyond me how, until now, blacks & Latinos were somewhat on the same playing field, are suddenly less than their white counterparts. Trying to raise a child in a world that, I now see, will not look at her & treat her equally, even though she has been taught by her parents and school, that so many fought & died so that she may be given all the rights & opportunities as any other person, I am worried.
