the current administration is corrupt and they are gettin gaway with it. I read an article from 1979 Valerie Jarretts father wrote about Arab/Muslim influence and intent to get into America, Barry was not an 'out of nowhere' politician. They have an agenda and this is just another stage of it. This has been a long time coming, Americans (this century) are weak and naive - gullible and so vain that no one would dare ever do that to us. We've never had war on our land - it happens everywhere else but not America. We send our boys over to fight war, but we've not had to wake up to bombs and mortar. This can't happen to us! Guess what? It did.

Pretty freaking scary stuff as my mother knows having grown up in WWII Germany.
FREAKING SCARY !

Yes, I fell into their trap. I'm climbed out, dusted off, and moved on.

What?

No, to prove you're NOT a racist. How you hire all types of people.

The hardest thing to be prophetic about is the timing.

Jrbrenner, why did you feel the need to explain that you're not a racist and then give examples to prove it? This is part of the problem. Why should we have to state it and prove it? This is another of their tactics to control our behavior (ex: words we use, when we should speak up, who we should confront...) And you just fell into their trap. You feared someone might think you're a racists because you posted this article. Michelle's goal here is to keep people focused and feel emboldened to confront people, family, friends, to keep the rift alive that keeps them at the advantage because it silences so many. Too often people are afraid to discuss certain things because someone might think they're a racist, or call them a racist even if it isn't true so they just don't even bother trying to have the conversation. What MO really wants is the silence that in turn gives them the power via fear. People have a right to form their own opinions based on their life experiences and voice them. When MO happily announced that she could finally say she was proud to be an American (or proud of America...whatever the case may be) no one tried to silence her. But when people said they couldn't believe she actually said that, they were called racists. ???? And why is it that only white people can be racists? If you hate white people it's totally justified and accepted. Or was she suggesting black people should confront their families at the dinner table if someone tells a honky joke, or if their friends don't want to sit with the crackers at lunch, or they should stop calling their Mary Jane shoes "white girls".

"Those people" (progressives) must keep the divisions going. It keeps them in power.
