Does anyone else feel like our President being treated so badly is related to white cops

killing unarmed black men and college students singing horrible songs about black people and all the other racism that goes on in this country.


If these senators believe our president is their inferior then of course they would try and undermine him at every turn. They must feel intense hate for this man. They believe their inferior has power over them and they can't stand that. So they do everything they can to usurp his power including trying to start a war by themselves.

I believe that they would cripple the US just to assuage their pathological racism. Remember that so many of them would still hold slaves if it were legal and they probably come from ancestral lines that were slave holders.

It makes me sick to think that so many people are like this. And so many of them are in our government.


It is like when a woman shows strength when in a relationship with an abusive man his sense of self crumbles. He must subjugate her, to reduce her and enslave her more. The truth is he is the one with the broken self esteem. He can only feel OK about himself when he is conquering what he thinks is his inferior. And then very often they try to make her feel crazy by telling her that what she knows is not reality. I even heard one man say to his wife after he hit her, "I didn't hit you. I didn't hit you"

These senators hit our president over and over and say they aren't doing it. They come up with inadequate reasons that they hide behind and maybe even believe themselves and they can get their followers to believe it also.

They are sick in the head.

EDIT to add: Jimmy Carter said he thought the problem was racism in government and citizens. He said a lot of people accept black people as long as they are in a lesser position. I'm reminded of those that say, "Uppity black"

President Obama have made some cops think they can openly display their hatred by killing with their itchy trigger fingers. I haven't said it right, but I think there is a relationship, somehow. Or maybe they're just angry all of the time because he's prez.

you will find that although they had learned to hide their racism a little, they still always believed that anyone not white, is inferior. When a black man became President, it was so shocking to their beliefs that the racism came rushing back towards the surface.

Obama makes them look stupid, and that defies their reality.

6. Do I think small minded people look up to other small minded people?

Yes, yes I do. It might simply have to do with grouping with like minded people. When they see their favorite leader talking about the POTUS as if he was a lesser human, their small mind imprints that somewhere on the remaining 3 brain cells left to survive alone. How much that influences a racist cop or any other racist for that matter, who knows. However I think the impact is there every time. Reinforcing their small minded worldview as universally accept by one and all.
