As we celebrated the election of the first African-American President of the United States in 2008, various hate groups began to surface because the white house no longer had white people in it.

President Obama was now the President of the United States. Although he is a Harvard Graduate, lawyer, and Senator, it still was not good enough for the racist and bigoted people that immediately began attacking his character and integrity.

First, he was attacked by racist and drugged-out talk radio personalities that spewed racist messages on a daily basis. They poisoned people’s mind with a lot of half- truths and innuendos.

Next, various right-wing conservative zealots on Fox News began to question President Obama’s birth certificate, former church, former pastor, and past acquaintances. The intent was to destroy his character in the minds of all those that were ignorant and weak-minded enough to listen.

Finally, there is the so-called tea party. These people are the worst. They will stop at nothing to have their way. Just as the KKK formed when slaves were emancipated, the tea party came on the scene when it became inevitable that we would have a Black President. They immediate began funding and selecting candidates to run for office to block everything that President Obama introduced. They are responsible for all the turmoil that went on in Washington for the past 3 years. They are filled with so much hate until they don’t have enough sense to realize that what affects minorities, affects them also. Their only goal is to make President Obama a one-term president, while the economy goes to hell.

Finally, many of the hate groups are saying,” We are going to take back OUR White House and OUR country.” Well, I have news for you. I like, many other descent and honest Americans is part of this country also. We work; we fought and died for this country; pay taxes; but most of all, WE VOTE!
