I worked for nearly six years at UMDNJ in Newark, New Jersey and came to know the community in that city.

Oh, yes, this is nothing short of a lecture to the media that insists on depriving joy to a President that continues to try to win over country, but, falls short because of the 'news being turned into sports casting.’

The Black Community in the USA is a dedicated community to family and God.  They are always fighting for the right path for their children, unable to overcome the odds of wholesome living in a hostile environment.  They are some of the most devoted people to God I have ever witnessed and I grew up in a fairly devout Roman Catholic household.  

This country never gave President Obama the chance to be the pride of the African American Community.  Before he was inaugurated there were movements to defeat his plans to help the USA recover from eight years of exploitation and wrongful wars.  But, the African American Community of the USA was never spot lighted and this Harvard Lawyer was never to outshine anyone that came before him.


President Obama has never been militant a day in his life, he brings pride to this country and his method of 'governing' to attempt in any way he can to include all the people of the USA in a discussion that is benevolent and moves the country forward with confidence.


He is the pinnacle of Grace Under Fire.  No other modern day President has had to sustain the onslaught of viciousness the media has dished out.  Where President Obama is not respected and his reputation is 'leaned' into as a man without quality but simply enjoying the view; it is bigotry and racism talking.  When he is maligned for his faith and personal expressions of openness; it is a slam to every African American in the country.


I have never witnessed a media so inclined and so willing to treat a President as less than he is.  It could be the influence of the internet, but, it goes beyond that.  


President Obama does not have to prove himself as an ally to the Inner City or
Black Community.  He did that in Chicago.  He earned his stripes when he didn't have to and should have been soaking up a six figure salary straight out of Harvard.  



I don't know what it takes to be the First Lady to this President, but, she is special. She is lovely beyond expectations and a smile and faithful hand when none are found anywhere else.  She is above reproach and I'll be darnned if I can find her message from day to day anywhere in the media in this country.  She is drowned out by hate speech against her husband masquerading as political speech.  


This country should be ashamed for the political agenda of hate and misdirection by the Republican Party and their willingness to allow their own constituents to continue to believe hate and lies.  The AMERICA the Republicans portray is not the country I was raised in and it is not the vision I ever expected from a prominent political party.  


The Republicans are about extremism, about hate and about bringing down the Middle Class and Poor while we discard every safeguard available to them.  THAT is bigotry.  There is no other word.  The Middle Class may as well be aliens for the hate speech that victimizes unions as well as the 'idea' of good pay and benefits.  


Pitiful is not the word I would use to describe the ignorant and hate-filled discourse out of the RNC these days.  But, bigotry of many venues does define it well.  If the media doesn't have the guts to call a bigot a bigot then what good are they?
