Liberal White Racism

There have been several radio rants lately about liberal white racism and I've decided to make a confession.

I admit I'm becoming racist and I don't like it. It's quite unsettling because I fear I'll not be able to overcome it.

On Wednesday evening when I watched the President speaking about reforming health care I saw the ugly reaction on the faces of the Republicans, and they were all white men.

Yesterday I watched a few tens of thousands of halfwit teabaggers and read their illiterate signs ("THANK YOU FOX FOR KEEPING US IMFROMED," "IF YOU THINK HELTHCARE IS EXPANSIVE, WAIT TILL ITS FREE," "THE PEOPLE HAVE WAKEN") and I couldn't help noticing they were all being held by whites.

When I looked in the mirror this morning, oh ye gods, I had a moment of revulsion looking at my white face. I look like "those" people. I am becoming bigoted against my own race.

I'll try to remember all the white civil rights activist who were beaten and murdered in the 60s, and all the excited white faces at Grant's Park in Chicago the night Obama was elected. I'll try to remember the goose bumps, the surge of pride for our country, and I admit, our tears of joy when I and my family heard the announcement at 8 o'clock on election night, "OHIO HAS GONE TO OBAMA. BARAK OBAMA IS THE NEXT PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES."

I'm feeling better about my race already.
