I do not agree with all the policies of my POTUS in many areas. I am also making it clear that I am a citizen who voted twice for this POTUS and WOULD AGAIN.

All that this racist BS is showing the world is the true racist underbelly/nature of the whole of american culture. Many of us have known it was here all the time. The lynchers in white sheets put on suits and ties and went into the boardrooms of corporate america, the halls of government, all parties and departments, even it seems, our SS. No proof just an uneasy feeling. Others, like many before them, have donned blue suits with badges, guns and biased laws they could hide behind when shooting down unarmed people especially minorities.

This cartoon could be construed as the bather being racist in asking that question so as to put the racist moniker on the latest person to intrude in the WH, but with the unhidden racist hate that has been heaped upon this POTUS, I don't think so. The watermelon reference is unmistakeable. Always has been used as a racist reference to black people...the wire.com and there many references for hate, black people, watermelon and fried chicken to you who need proof. Watermelon and fried chicken!!! Two of my favorite foods.
It seems that with RW radio and television agitating hate on a level that would make Goebbels proud, america is not going to be able to solve it's racial problems any time soon.

America you have, again, replaced my hopes with distrust and doubt and have made this country a sad, sad place to live with the hypocrisy and hate spewed from all manner of people and media. America, shame! Betrayal is too kind a word, just think unarmed teenagers shot down and bleeding their life out in modern streets or for you older folks, how about a black man dangling at the end of a rope only because he was black.

We the people are the only ones that can put a stop to this insanity and it doesn't seem like we have the numbers or the media to stop it.
