First, let’s just establish two points. Point one; while the exposure of Pastor Wright paved the way for Barak’s “Grandma got runover by Obama” speech, the real issue was Barak’s integrity and political ideology, not racism. The reason the media and most American’s missed this and became caught up in the racism issue, and the issue of America being the good guy or the bad guy, is because the race issue and the Anti-America issues are still a living cancer that American’s refuse to treat with some serious chemo-therapy. Even as racism seems to be a political hot button manipulated and abused by politicos, there has yet to ever be an honest discussion about not just the issue, but the real remedy to the racial divide in our country.

Point two; there is a tremendous difference between racism (hatred), and prejudice. When someone mentions to me that they visited their doctor, I automatically envision a man. In no way do I think women are the least bit less qualified or apt as doctors, it is just my pre-disposed thought process. I do the same when I think of a policeman or a fireman. I hear “hairdresser” and think of a woman. This is not based in hatred, it is based in experience.

There is no doubt that racism and hatred still exists in this country. I hate to break the news to you, but it will always exist. As long as evil has any shadow of cover in this world, these things will exist. During the seventies and eighties we did a damn good job in this country trying to correct the problem of racism. We struggled to try and turn the tide towards being a colorblind society. My generation understood that the horrors of the past were not our fault, but it was nonetheless our responsibility. If we were ever going to change things, we had to answer the call, and not only did we answer the call, we did it in a big and bold way. We did such a great job, that even though my parents’ generation was the ones who instituted educational changes, created movies like “Roots,” etc, it ultimately was us that ended up teaching our parents how to overcome this black hole of hatred.

In all the tapes of Wright and his rants, the one clip that bothered me the most, was the one clip that I heard the least talk about. When Wright ranted about how Hillary had never been called the “N” word, I was horrified. Watching the mob (forgive me, but truth is truth, this was not a sermon of God’s word, and the folks laughing and cheering in the pews were not a “congregation” during this event) reaction was infuriating.

Could you imagine video clips being released in which some organization that Hillary was a member of (for 20 years, and one she donated thousands of dollars too) had a woman leader (whom Hillary referred to as a spiritual leader and moral compass) was ranting about how Obama could not understand women’s struggles and issues because he had never been called the dreaded “C” word? What a load of BS!

I remember a discussion I had with “friends of the family.” (My ex husband’s family friend) We were visiting them in their home, my son was about 10 years old, and this man used the “N” word. I immediately confronted him. I told him point blank. “This is your home, and you have every right to do as you please in your home, but if you expect us to spend time here with you, you will not use that word; especially in front of my son.” His response was to first try to debate the real definition of the word. I simply told him that this was not up for discussion. I made my feelings clear, his choice. He then tried to tell me that I could not shelter my child from things; he was going to hear that word weather I liked it or not. I pointed out that I would not allow my child to hang out with people who used that word, so how could I justify to that I would hang out with people who did. I also added that while I know he will hear this word, he will not hear it from people who loved him, people his parents expected him to respect, and people he and his family were supposed to trust. He got the point and shut up.

Let’s put this in “context” as all of Barak’s supporters have “demanded” we do. Barak is more qualified because he has been called the “N” word? No, that was not his point. Listen to the entire clip. Put it in “context.” His point was that Hillary could not be trusted, because she had not been called the “N” word. Let me clue you in Mr Wright, and your mob following, the truth is, the ones that can not be trusted are those who USE the “N” word. I don’t care what your economic status is, I don’t care what your race is, and I don’t care how many different races or continents your family “represents.” The “N” word serves no positive or constructive purpose in this world. NONE!

I am sick of carrying the baggage of injustices that I have never participated in. The “Black Community” who wants to carry and pass on the hatred of racism can sit in their pews, steeped in their own hatred and stew in it. WE (White America and many other Americans) have gone the extra mile to stop the precious heirloom of hatred being passed on from one generation to the next. We have been understanding, apologetic, sensitive, and physically worked hard to overcome this evil, and we actually embraced the “Dream” of which the late Martin Luther King Jr inspired us to work towards achieving. This whole time, a certain percentage of the “Black Community” has sat in the privacy of their own homes and gatherings and festered and fed this hatred.

Let me also tell you about a Pastor who does stand in the pulpit and talk about hate in a way that any true Christian knows comes from the word of God. Hate is a poison that infects its host, not its target. Clinging to hatred is like holding a cup of poison, glaring down the object of your hate, sipping from your cup and saying to your target, “Here, take that.” This is the nature of hate.

So, Pastor Wright, you and all your supporters can go ahead and cling to your hatred. Go ahead and cheer your hatred. Go ahead and cling to the pains of your past, inflict blame, malice, and contempt onto those who had nothing to do with the atrocities committed to your ancestors. Your hatred has no power of me. Your hatred brings out of me nothing but pity for your children. Go ahead and drink your pain and hate. Go ahead; pass the cup of poison down to your children like some precious heirloom of great worth. Go ahead. Grasp your cup of poison and DRINK UP!
