I posted something on DU the other night and frankly I am shocked by some of the responses to me. I had to leave the thread on its own, I was unable to respond.

I posted without comment an opinion piece by a black man. Yes, black men have opinions, funny that. Yet what I saw from the comments was first, they never read the link. Second they had no clue who the author was or what the excerpt I posted meant. Some thought I was the author. Third, they totally disrespected this mans voice.

I was also told all Presidents are disrespected, not just Obama who happens to be our First African American President. Really?

All WHITE Presidents had a Joe Wilson in their lives that yelled out "YOU LIE!" at SOTU.

All WHITE Presidents have had their Birth Certificate questioned?

All WHITE Presidents had this claim made:

The former Mayor of New York City saying of Obama, “I do not believe, and I know this is a horrible thing to say, but I do not believe that the president loves America…He doesn’t love you. And he doesn’t love me. He wasn’t brought up the way you were brought up and I was brought up through love of this country.”

Why I'm Ready for President Obama to Leave the White House

He must be the most disrespected President in American history.

His last quote breaks my heart.
