"I think an overwhelming portion of the intensely demonstrated animosity toward President Barack Obama is based on the fact that he is a black man, that he's African American," Carter said. "I live in the South, and I've seen the South come a long way and I've seen the rest of the country that shared the South's attitude toward minority groups at that time ... and I think it's bubbled up to the surface, because of a belief among many white people, not just in the South but around the country, that African-Americans are not qualified to lead this great country."

–Former President Jimmy Carter

Three Reasons Why I Believe Him

• He has been on this earth for eighty five years. He has seen far more than I have ever had.
• He is from the south; therefore due to his age, he understands the mentality of racism.
• I see through the layers of bovine fecal matter. A lot of people are in denial...

   It so frustrating that some Americans are allowing their personal differences to interfere with the progress of OUR country. EVERYONE deserves insurance. If you are a legal citizen of this country, you deserve the right to live your life as healthy as possible. As I waited in Urgent Care for Kaleigh to get her shot, a man and woman arrived.  He explained that his family member had pierced her foot with a huge nail and it was bent inside of her foot. He then went on to explain that he did not have insurance and asked could he be billed later. The nurse said no, it was a $150.00 deposit and he would be billed the for the remainder balance.  He shook his head and from his expression, I could tell that he couldn't afford it. However, she needed the nail removed and a tetanus shot. He had to pay it. This man was not an illegal alien, he was an American.

    Why is everyone so angry? Are people afraid that they will reap the wrath of their forefathers? Do some people feel that white superiority is dissolving like an ice cube on a sidewalk on a hot summer day? Is it that some people will never accept an African American as their leader? Maybe African Americans were not allowed to read for this purpose. It was never the intention for us to be leaders.

     For some reason or another, certain people in our country feel an certain entitlement. These people feel an entitlement to all the nice homes, jobs, cars and health care. These people do not want you to know how great they have it. It reminds me of the times where they didn't want Blacks to vote, attend the same schools or drink from the same water fountain. I feel that racism has been like simmering embers in anticipation of a catalyst. The fuel that rekindled this fire was the election of President Obama.  My fear is that the emotions of the Pre-Civil Rights era will rear its ugly head. I fear that there will be so many people angry that we have an African American president; they will begin to do evil activities. I pray my visions do not come to pass.
