I am as white as one can be and not be an albino. And now that my hair is turning white.... well....let's just say I load exposed skin with sun screen when I go out even in the winter.

I told you that, so I can tell you..... I have had people in stores ask me to get things down from top shelves. Should I be offended.... are these people prejudiced against me because I am tall?? Ms Obama is not short.... could she have read into her target shopping experience something that was not there?

And, way back in my early days when I just entered the military, I was asked to get coffee or tea for a another individual. And some of those folks were black. Should I have filed a law suite? Or is it possible that the individual asking was not asking my qualities of being white or female, but just needed a coffee? Not everything is about color.

And..... my husband (may God rest his soul) was given keys to park cars..... mainly because he was standing in the spot where valet receives keys..... I remember one time is California, he just shrugged and parked the car. Should he have been offended because he was standing in the spot for the valet?

I think that USA has become too hypersensitive to color and gender...... Not everything is a put down.....not everything is about color or who you shack up with. Sometimes it is a mistake and nothing more.

So right you are!

Never has a president and first lady divided a country more than the Obamas. We need a president that unites us, not weigh in on civil matters, law suits and trials are best left with the court system.... We have millions of people unemployed and under employed. Our schools are suffering....we have wars going on, the cyber security of our nation is at risk, and that is just starters. And Obama asks J. Jackson who owes over 4 million in back taxes....for advice? He has two qualified people who are black who are congressmen and respected....but he asks the one of the most racist people in the US how to manage the office of president. And then to add the cherry.... they do an interview and bitch about being treated badly. Could that interview been more uplifting and hopeful for all Americans, and not used as a bitch session for The Os?

For you people that think racism doesn't exist i am an African-American male that spent 13 years in the military and then got my college degree. After the military I spent the last 20 years as a youth counselor and retired with disability. Last month I called an ambulance at 3am because I was in extreme pain I knew I had a fractured spine as well as 3 abdominal hernias but in the state of Florida it's hard to get pain medication I had been trying for 2 weeks! I was in so much pain I was close to passing out, thats exactly what I told the perimedics and that I was having some chest pain! Their response was we want get involved with your drug habit! They never took my vitals or anything, they just dropped me off at the ER and left! I guess they assumed because I was black and it was 3 in the morning I was out looking for drugs! I called their chief and he said he would write them a letter of reprimand! I told him it should never have gotten that far! If I was having a heart attack I would have been dead! I ended up staying in the hospital for 4 days! I know for the most part we put ourselves in some situations, but how did I put myself in that situation?
