Alfonzo - this article really hit home with me. Thank you for sharing your sensible words! The Black Panthers are nothing more than the KKK or the Neo Nazi's. All the same, just different colors of skin hating each other and others for something so simple and benign as skin color. If the mainstream media would stop giving these haters so much press, nobody would pay their ignorant rants any mind. It's funny how *most* Americans of different cultures, skin colors and political beliefs were getting along just fine until Obama came into power. Most white and black people were so hopeful that his presidency would finally unite all people. Unfortunately, I feel like we are living back in the 1950's with all this negative emphasis on race, color and creed. President Obama has the absolute power to stop this nonsense, yet he continues to be silent. All he has to say is "Knock it off, people! We are ALL Americans - stop it with this stupid racism!" I'm beginning to wonder if he's getting some kind of charge off this. It's making me sick. I had such high hopes for him and I am so completely disappointed. Your article was amazing! Keep up the great work of getting the word out... if our prez isn't gonna do it, the people will have to rise up!
