Racism under every bush-if you want it there

by Diane Benjamin

First, I have two black relatives, but I had to think about it first.  Non-racists don’t think about people’s skin color.  They are relatives – not BLACK relatives.  Judge people by the content of their character, not the color of their skin.  Evidently, only people who want to see racism still do, Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton to name a few.  but there are more.

Yesterday a friend sent this picture via email:detriotIf you are on Facebook, I’m sure you’ve seen it.  Detroit has been destroyed by corruption and fiscal mismanagement.  Non-Obama supporters believe he is doing the same thing to the country.  That is what this picture conveys.  

Obama opponents don’t dislike him because of the color of his skin.  His policies are anti-American, anti-traditional values, and anti-recovery.  No recession has ever lasted as long as the current one and only the media believes we are recovering.  Printing money and massive debt will destroy America!  

But the race-baiters who constantly look for racism under every rock didn’t like the picture.  We have 2 on the Bloomington City Council.  Since I was part of the email chain, I have a right to publish their comments:

As a mother of a son who is black, this is not funny to me.
Karen
 
Karen:  Is it not funny because you are an Obama supporter or because you thought it was racist?
 
Robert Fazzini <[email protected]>

As the grandfather of a black grandson and a graduate of a grade school where I was one of only three white students, I have to agree with Karen. 

Robert B. Fazzini

Rob:  Same question for you.

If you two can’t recognize political humor, maybe politics is something you should avoid.  Both of you are up for election in 2014.  Maybe you should consider stepping down.  Spending is a national problem.  Spending was Detroit’s problem.   Bloomington faces the same issues, sorry you are too blind to see it.

  1. My my…….Look how Politically Correct and Diverse Karen and Robert are! I’m sure that they will be rewarded in this twisted New Age society. Though they themselves are not black but love to “use” blacks, they are race-baiters who have their chests stuck out for “their” reward! I am reminded of the words of Booker T. Washington when he described these type of charlatans: “There is a class of colored people who make a business of keeping the troubles, the wrongs, and the hardships of the Negro race before the public. Having learned that they are able to make a living out of their troubles, they have grown into the settled habit of advertising their wrongs-partly because they want sympathy and partly because it pays. Some of these people do not want the Negro to lose his grievances, because they do not want to lose their jobs.”

    Yes Karen and Robert, Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton would be proud of you!!!
