In reply to the discussion: A Canadian's view of our disrespect of our own President. Interesting. [View all]heaven05
(18,124 posts)55. Racism is the root
of 6 years of RW inaction. Deny if you must to cover the sins of a shamefully racist culture in the streets and in the highest halls of Congress but I can't cover up this racist culture that I have had to watch, in action, for the last 6 years. Deny all you want. Americans can do that very well and look where it has gotten us, a young, unarmed man executed in the streets shot down like a dog, no white President ever called a LIAR in his 1st SOU address and a racist reuglican party trying 50 times to turn back legislation that my President was smart enough to get through a reluctant Democratic party and obstructionist Reuglican party that helps americans. It has EVERYTHING to do with race. Nothing you can say will stop that being FACT.
