Is Racism Rising Because of Black President?

Some racists voted for BHO because of his perceived race.

Don't know what to think of the following story.
Mr Brown was encouraged to seek the mayoral office because of Barack Obama's victory but, when he won, some supporters head over to his opponent to unload obscenities...

Also, and perhaps the most troubling, Mr Brown ran with promises of lots of free stuff:

"I just want the people to be comfortable. Small towns like this depend on government funding and that’s what we’re seeking."

"The town’s facilities were substandard, he said, gesturing towards the humble town hall, where a “No Loitering” sign is nailed next to the door. “There isn’t even a phone or a fax machine in there. How can we communicate with the outside world and ask for things?" "
Here is the full story.

No, I don't think racism is rising because of a black President (the terrible incident in Akron notwithstanding). I have not heard of a great epidemic of such events since the election.

I personally think that in matters of race, having a black President will have the effect of positively affecting racism in ways that will pay great dividends particularly in the younger and future generations.


Was that good enough for now?

well if his policies are inacted you wont have any money and neither will i, so we will all be in the soup line, lol
