President Obama takes the high road...will not discuss racism.

"Should he address the concerns of racism in America? Absolutely!

There are many Americans egging the President in the direction of a discussion on racism that has reared its ugly head this last past year. Conservatives have gone overboard with the vicious talk, rallies and disgusting signs. Redneck Joe Wilson's outburst should have been the begining of the end of this madness. However, the President remained unmoved and with great reserved.

The conservative radio talk shows are just embarrassing for our country. It is such an insult in which they use the constitution as their shield. Glenn Beck post quotes from Thomas Jefferson on his very racist website, Rush Limbaugh openly speaks and admits to racism in America. He had the audacity to mention "Jim Crowe" and the return of segregation. The President will not take the bait.

He disagreed with President Carter's view and I disagree with the President. However, I am also in awe of his patience, intelligence, and grace as he handles this crisis. I salute President Carter, Norm Stamper of the Huffington Post, Eugene Robinson of the Washington Post, Keith Olberman of MSNBC, Anderson Cooper of CNN to name a few that has had the courage to speak out and address racism.

2009 is a very sad, unpredictable year for the United States. A year that should be celebrated and recognized as a historical moment with the election of an African American President has turned into a nightmare, and embarassment to our country.
