for those who just "dismiss" this President - as a man, as a person, as the President. I just had a FB convo today with someone that called the President "defiant". I just found that a very odd word choice when referring to a grown man who is President of the US. They said he works for them and they see him as a defiant child. What? That just blows my mind. This President has been working twice as hard to get half as much since before day one - and that's such bullshit, imo. Had they "accepted" him as President, imagine the things he could have accomplished. I guess I was wrong and the US really wasn't ready for a bi-racial President. To me, all of these things equal "uppity" and "boy". It just makes me ashamed and sad.
