Every organization has an image they would like to portray. Even though the Democratic Party has a lot of skeletons in the closet, they still try to project an image of equality. That was until Barack Obama.
Ever since the beginning of the 20th century till present, we have had an ever growing African American presence in government and politics in the Democratic and Republican Party. This proves America has diversity. Our current president-President Bush, has elevated more African Americans to top ranking spots more than any other president in history combined, for example;Condoleezza Rice, Colin Powell, ect.. President Bush even put a well educated Hispanic named Carlos Gonzales as Secretary General, but the Democrats wanted to seal up the Hispanic vote this 2008 for Barack Obama. So, consequentially as soon as Gonzales got his long awaited spot as Secretary General, the Democrats attacked him swiftly and politically citing him for firing 8 Chief Federal District Prosecutors. However, when President Clinton was in the office, Him and his inner circle disposed of 93 Federal Prosecutors and the Democrats had nothing to say at all!!!!
Here is where we tie racism in with Barack Obama now that I have made my case that the Republican Party is not the party of racism. Whenever an American is seeking a prominent position, all forward momentum is stopped when there are allegations of that person having been affiliated with anyone racist.(whether it's a friend of a friend or anything) Barack Obama seems to have gotten a major pass. Obama's longtime former preacher, Rev. Wright was his role model and his father figure for many many years. Rev. Wright was openly anti-white during many of his sermons. Right when all of this was hitting the fan, the Democratic Party should have been denouncing Obama as Democratic nominee candidate. The Democratic Party has spent decades after decades denouncing racism and all of a sudden with Obama, the Democratic Party suddenly says it's okay if a popular Black Democratic Senator does it!!!!! Now, the Democrats didn't say that literally; but, it might as well be implied!!!! To me the issue is not color. I just didn't expect them to let one of their own be so blatant about racism.
Finally, during an interview early in 2008 Obama referred to his own Grandmother as a,"Typical White Woman Who Fears Black Men" Come on Barack. Obama's Grandmother loved him and treated him like one of her own while he was growing up. Why would he stab her in the back like that? It seems even though millions of white American have voted for him in the primaries, Obama has a huge amount of dislike and distrust for white Americans.
And you would think the Democratic Party would want to portray a better image. Maybe race doesn't matter to them. Maybe they only use it when it's necessary to further their agenda!
