March 8, 2009 Email to the White House

==============================================
While I generally applaud the President's effort in dealing with the race question, he needs to fully digest his Attorney General, Eric Holder's comments regarding race and cowardice. Obama's just getting a taste of the racism that his election has unleashed. He can choose to ignore it or confront it, but he needs to understand that it's just not directed at him. You've got a group of angry and bitter white folks who want to lash out at the Negro in the White House. So far they are using words and political tactics like not supporting Obama's policies for helping the country out of this mess that they helped create. They would just as soon have the country implode than to let a Negro beat them and prove that he is the better man. I am using the term Negro to be polite because I can assure you that they are using another term to refer to the President that begins with an "N" and ends with a "r." High minded rhetoric has its place, but it will only take us so far. The Limbaughs and Hannitys are going to continue to foment this white resentment with every ounce of bitterness and anger that they can muster. So, either Obama can put his head in the sand and wait for the racial fuse that the racist right has lit to explode or he can try to address these cowards directly and in a timely manner. The choice is his, but he's going to have to deal with the issue sooner or later. Peace.
