Racism or Socialism?
Last November, a majority of Americans of all races voted in an inexperienced Senator as the leader of the free world. While many race-baiters tried to make Mr. Obama's ethnicity an issue during the election, most refused to accept the bait and instead cast a vote based on their consciences, beliefs and attitudes.
Yet here we are, 10 months later, and the race-baiters are at it again. Now the object is to ridicule any and all who are opposed to President Obama's openly socialist policies. No, they can't really be opposed to socialism and government takeover of private industries, the reasoning goes. Why would anybody object to that? It must really be about race.
Consider this excerpt from a blatantly biased article from the London Telegraph:
"Mr Wilson showed an ugly side of America. Perhaps the depth of his feeling, and of the protestors who have denounced Mr Obama with such fury so readily, really see him as a socialist menace threatening to undo all that is sacred about the nation, determined to sneak in a government takeover of health care, dissolve gun owners' rights and indoctrinate children.
But the question may well soon begin to be asked: perhaps it is just that they are not comfortable with having the first black American in the White House." http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/northamerica/usa/6165489/Barack-Obama-health-care-speech-Republican-calls-president-a-liar.html
Or this from an African-American writer at the Chicago Tribune:
"In the meantime, is the dissension surrounding our first black president mostly about race, a difference in ideology---or it pure politics as usual? " http://newsblogs.chicagotribune.com/race/2009/09/how-much-is-dissention-surrounding-obama-about-race-.html#comments
Playing the race card is a lazy way of thinking. It's a useful way to deride your opponents and try to make their concerns meaningless. Hopefully, the American people won't fall for this tactic and will continue to make their concerns heard. And those who prefer democracy to socialism will need to stiffen their backbones and continue to ignore the taunts coming from the other side of the aisle.
