RODNEY: CAN'T WE ALL Just GET ALONG?

Why are white voters, in 2012, so Afraid?

Everyone in this country, after 2008, seems to be shaken to the core by the seemingly impossible destruction of our national economy; perpetrated by other U.S. citizens.  In place of pervasive curiousity to uncover the details of what happened, we seem to have taken to blaming each other for just about every petty thing imaginable.  It is especially true of the way the President is regarded by the Repoobs and their followers.  The disrespect, distrust, petty jealousy and thinly masked hatred is there for the entire world to see.

That bunch has singled out people of color, Gays, and women who prize their independence, for especially degrading treatment.  They are now going out of their way, Klan style, to humiliate the Attorney General of the United States; misusing and abusing the subpoena power of  the Congress.  What a mess!  The President never laid off any workers; he has, instead, saved their jobs by the millions.  No one in any of their target groups has done anything to harm the Repoobs and their followers.  Is there some type of displaced guilt or transferrence taking place here?  At the same time, the Repoobs ingratiate themselves to the Big Money perpetrators of the decline.  Can't we all get along?

1991 brought us the horrific Rodney King beating, and all of its terrible aftermath; stretching well into 1992, and the L.A. Riots.  We can no longer pretend that the citizens of this nation have turned some important corner in the way we relate to each other.  That is especially true when race is taken into account.  Rodney was found dead at the bottom of his swimming pool this past weekend.  Perhaps he is finally relieved of his pain and suffering.  An autopsy is underway to determine if there has been (any more?) foul play.  From Rodney to Trayvon in a span of 21 years!  This is not progress!  This nation deserves a better future.

1991 also brought us the replacement of Justice Thurgood Marshall by Clarence Thomas.  In the June 9, 2012 issue of TIME magazine there is a full page chart depicting the 100% correlation of Thomas' votes with those of Scalia.  Looks like Poppa Bush got what he wanted.

Those of us who don't share the Repoob mindset can imagine a much better future for this nation and the world.  Let's get busy bringing it on!

Stay Vigilant!
