Respect has taken a breather. It is no longer with us as it once was. There was a time if you disagreed with a police officer, a military person, a priest or a political figure, you still gave the uniform and/or position the respect it was entitled to.
Today, many who disagree would rather spit on a person rather than attempt to reconcile differences.
President Obama has had a rough road since he first was elected. Respect for him is lacking. The office he holds is likewise disrespected.
It is my considered opinion that two reasons exist for the dislike.
The first has to do with color. Obama is half black. The first person of color elected to such high office. Probably not the last. Many people, especially middle aged white Americans, have a hatred for Obama that eats at them every day. Obama can do nothing correct. No one can be that bad!
This group of white Americans sense Obama is the first of his color to achieve such heights. He will not be the last. The whites are fearful of losing their perceived status as the big guys in American society. Underlining that thought, these same persons are equally fearful that the black man will remember his history in our country and get even. The philosophy being that what goes around, comes around.
The numbers regarding persons of color are staggering. This very day, there are more persons of color in the United States than whites. Those who dislike/hate Obama are aware of that. The color group includes blacks, Hispanics, Asians and whatever other persons of color there may be.
It is probable that the United States will elect another person of color President within the next 20-30 years. Colored America will be by that time the largest voting block.
There is another consideration. I suspect that in 50 years, there will be few people of color. As the colored population grows and the white diminishes, there will be intermarriage. Society will generally be tan.
Have I said a terrible thing? No. It is inevitable.
And that sticks in the craw of the hateful whites!
The other reason Obama is disliked and hated is corporate America. If Obama were white, they would still dislike and hate him. Corporate America wishes to control and dominate American society. Any Democrat President obstructs that desire. Corporate America is for themselves, the rich. That two per cent.
Corporate America will do anything to feather its own bed. They care not for the masses.
Obama's color and selfish corporate interests have eroded the respect that a President of the United States is entitled to. Any President.
I cannot understand. The change to color influence is inevitable. It is a wave that cannot be stopped. Corporate America cannot go on as it has. Record profits while farming out 80 per cent of jobs to foreign countries. The middle class will return. Respect for every one, also.
Republicans, haters and corporate America beware. The train has left the station.
