Is the Obama administration turning a blind eye to racism in 2010?

Laws are put in place by our government to protect the rights of those who might be oppressed by others, regardless of their color. This blatant racism, were the tables turned and the faces of the oppressors white, would not be tolerated. Allowing this to happen is no different than the intimidation of black voters by the KKK in the south during the 1960’s. That the administration of a black president would allow this is a travesty of justice and a mockery of MLK’s dream of equality. Justice is, and should be colorblind. Under Obama it appears not to be.

President Obama was expected to erase decades of racial tension, but it now appears that he is doing exactly the opposite. It is often said that two wrongs don't make a right. Likewise, making ethnic minorities above prosecution based solely on race is no different than what was done to blacks during the turbulent times of the Civil Rights Movement. That we would now allow this again is a travesty. Have we learned nothing from our past?

    You're kidding, right? You've got to be kidding because no one could honestly be so rabidly anti-Obama as to believe him to be pursuing a pro-racist agenda.

    Nice to see someone gets it.

    To Bob ... lets see, for 20 years he attends an anti-white, anti-America hate church. Even Oprah after only two days says she can't go back to that racist church. He sides with Gates over the white cop BEFORE he knows ANY of the facts. He appoints a brown racist to the Supreme Court who thinks being a brown woman means she's wiser then any white male. And allowing the Black Panther to intimidate whites, is just another racist move by Obama.

    Obama has crossed the line way too may times. If this were Bush and an anti-black rant going on with voter intimidation they would be calling for his impeachment, so why not Obama? Hasn't he done enough damage to the country and worked to divide us by race, income, ethnicity, religion, etc. He needs to go asap to save America.
