The main concern that I had when President Obama was elected was what would happen when the President was criticized or be viewed in a negative way. I feared that anyone who criticized the President would be unfairly called a racist by liberals.
In the last week my fear has become a reality. Not only has Donald Trump been labeled a racist but a man I had growing respect for, Tavis Smiley, has said that the 2112 election will be (if I heard him right)"a referendum on bigotry."
WHAT?
Has anyone else ever been so shocked by something you heard that everything sounds like gibberish for a minute or two? I had that experience yesterday.
I know that racism and bigotry are major problems in this country but didn't an African American get elected as President two years ago?
Has all the bickering between Democrats and Republicans gotten us to the point where anything said against the President will be labeled as racist?
I hope not because that will greatly hinder progress towards solving the problems this country faces.
