- I can watch the movie "42" that was about the struggle baseball great Jackie Robinson went through.
- I can listen to the "I Have a Dream" speech.
- I can even read accounts of slavery in umpteen zillion books.
In a lengthy interview with New Yorker magazine editor David Remnick the president tells him, "There’s no doubt that there’s some folks who just really dislike me because they don’t like the idea of a black president. Now, the flip side of it is there are some black folks and maybe some white folks who really like me and give me the benefit of the doubt precisely because I’m a black president."
I really like the way Wayne Allyn Root dissects the premise that race causes Americans to disagree with policies. I agree with Root's assertions and, for me, here are my sticking points:
- I disagree with the way the Benghazi situation has been handled. If it was a terrorist attack, then it's a terrorist attack. Blaming a video is politics.
- I disagree with the way the IRS situation has been handled. If specific groups were targeted by the IRS because their beliefs are different from the president's beliefs, I believe that is wrong.
- I disagree with the way the Affordable Health Care Act has been handled. If the fact that people cannot afford health care, then set up a system for them. Don't make the elderly get maternity insurance.
- Does Rand Paul plagiarize his speeches?
- Did Chris Christie really close a bridge because of politics?
- Why can't the internal business of the Republican party remain internal and not fodder for MSNBC to trot out the lack of a cohesive message about women, immigration, and abortion within the Republican party?
