Blog agains racism week

[la_marquise]

I found this: http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2009/jul/28/birther-movement-obama-citizenship
this morning.
I'm not American, but:
Your president influences the world
Your new president is already changing how other countries view the USA
Your new president offers a new view of the US as a potential ally rather than an international bully
When you elected your new president, countries world-wide celebrated. Kenyans saw the possibility of an America which saw them as people.

I know that the Americans on my f'list do not, will not endorse the racist, abusive tactics of the individuals and organisations who are behind this attack. I know you don't endorse the racist agenda that seeks to deny rights and dignity to p.o.c.

This action, these agitators, are deplorable.

Somebody once gave me a very pithy explanation of the core difference between Democrats and Republicans in the modern USA:

Democrats look forward to the day when nobody can believe that once upon a time a significant part of the electorate wanted to vote Republican.

Republicans look forward to the day when nobody can believe that once upon a time a significant part of the electorate were allowed to vote Democrat.
