True, Barack Obama did win the presidency twice, but we all saw what that produced. It resulted in the GOP (Grand Old Party) turning into the POAWP (Party of Angry White People). White people have been angry for eight years and they’re still angry even though they just elected the most morally unfit human to ever serve as POTUS. But he’s white and the fact he is a human junk bond and morally unfit to lead the greatest democracy in the history of the world matters not….because he’s white. He’s white. That’s the only qualification he has to be president of the United States. The fact is he didn’t even have the resume of Sarah Palin. But he was the Dolly Llama of Birtherism. That’s it. That was his resume.
The movie Guess Who’s Coming Dinner was made in 1967, and I guess what I’m saying here is that from I’ve witnessed we as a country really haven’t come very far dealing with racism in this country the past fifty years.
This is my favorite scene in the movie. The scene actually ends with Sidney Poitier saying to his father, “You think of yourself as a black man….I think of myself as a man.” Beautiful scene.
Wow, I’d forgotten how powerful this is. Good timing.
