14. Is this Simply Racism at it's Worst?

The behavior of Americans embarasses me and saddens me.
A friend, actually two different people now, have said, "Linda,
it is simply racism." One is a black surgeon, a friend of my husband's, the other is a forum friend, a white school teacher from CA.
I thought we had moved beyond racism, sexism and other
types of petty discrimination decades ago, but I see that I
am naive and possibly living in a fantasy world.
At the same time, I am proud to have lived when a
wonderful man, an honest, intelligent problem-solver who loves our country,
has been president and he just happened to be partly AA.
His parents and grandparents gave him a wonderful legacy
of caring, education and work ethics that would have been lauded
with wonder and celebration in the perfect world.
At the same time, I hope that Barack Obama knows how much we have appreciated his foolhardy choice to take on the challenge that Bush left, the destruction of our country, our economy and the thriving corruption in
high places.
I am honored to have been able to vote for Obama twice.
