Forget the swine flu, Obama has foot-in-mouth disease this week.  He spoke his mind instead of reading from the teleprompter.  Big mistake.  Stop calling names, Mr. President.

“This is a Black world,” was quoted by a group of Black men while attacking a White family in Ohio during a celebration of Independence Day.

Stop.  Lets retry this a different way.

“This is a White world,” was quoted by a group of White men while attacking a Black family in Ohio during a celebration of Independence Day.

Did you notice a difference?

Technically, there should be no difference in the meaning of (or the reaction to) the sentences above.  Both are an example of racist comments.  When the group attacked the family, it became a hate crime irregardless of color.

A hate crime is supposed to be “…a criminal offense committed against a person, persons, or property that is motivated, in whole or in part, by the offender’s bias against a race.”

But, because it was not a white to black crime, the “…case is not being classified as a racial hate crime” by the local law enforcement.  However, to the white victims the incident is likened to terrorism.

Clearly, if this had been a white on black crime, Al Sharpton, the New Black Panthers and other Black racist groups would have been staging protests.  Law enforcement would have been been after the guilty like white-on-rice.

In this era of Obama, the true nature of many Blacks in this country will be revealed.  Will they chose to live according to the prayers of Martin Luther King?  Or will an agenda that preaches Black Supremacy be pursued?  Will whites cir cum to political correctness and allow a double-standard to be enforced upon themselves?

Time will surely tell.  Our children will take the lessons learned from this test into their own lives.  I pray we follow the teachings of Jesus as echoed by Martin Luther King, Jr.  Let us leave the wrongs of history in the past, and new rights into the future.

…With this faith, We will be able to achieve This new day When all of God’s children, Black men and white men, Jews and gentiles, Protestants and Catholics Will be able to join hands and sing with the Negroes, In the spiritual of old Free at last, free at last, Thank God almighty, We’re free at last.”  – From the “I Have a Dream” speech by Martin Luther King, Jr.
