It Shouldn't Be This Way. . .

. . .but it is.

In spite of the fact that he is just as much white as he is black, white people just don't like President Barack Obama very much. According to a recent Gallup poll, President Obama's approval rating among whites has dropped to 39 percent. His overall approval rating has dropped below 50 percent, which is a 16 percentage point decline since his high of 66 percent earlier this year. African Americans love the president, giving him a consistent approval rating above 90 percent. So in spite of the fact that he may not pay much attention to us, we are a critical part of his political engine.

Obama is not nearly as bad of a president as some are trying to say that he is. In fact, many Americans still have faith in him. The problem, however, is that when the economy suffers, a president's popularity suffers. Even Clinton and Reagan had tough years, but did quite well when the economy took off (Blackvoices, 2009).

When you see signs like

 

We are no longer assuming that its about black and white -- we KNOW it. Why is this president called by his first name? Because its their equivalent of calling him "boy". Have you EVER seen another president be so disrespected? No. Have you ever seen another president be on posters being mimicked? Well beside GWB's dumb ass. . .no!

Are there other presidents who've had policies that Americans agreed with? Yes.

Then why in the hell is Obama the ONLY president to be ridiculed, talked about, threatened and handled the way he is? Why is it that people are bold enough to go on air and bash him and wish failure upon him and say that HE is racist. . .but NOT ONE OTHER PRESIDENT HAS BEEN TREATED IN SUCH A WAY?

If I had MY way. . .I WOULD BE CALLING FOR A MASSIVE BLACK AND MINORITY REVOLUTION.

Why do we turn the other cheek always? Why are we taking this shit?!?!

Maybe we need another Million Man March or something.

I think I will be writing a letter to Al Sharpton. And I am dead serious. They can make it about race. . .but we aren't allowed to defend ourselves or say we won't take it. . .or even make it about race ourselves?

Black people haven't made it about White treating Blacks unfairly. . .Whites have made it about Blacks "taking over" and being "socialists" and "running the greatest country into the ground".

HOW FUCKING DARE YOU? I don't want to make this a Black vs. White type of thing. . .but dammit if you continue to. . .then we will have no choice but to take up arms.

And trust me. . .YOU DON'T WANT IT.

It shouldn't be this way.
