As one President condemns racial bias, another downplays a volatile subject
The article I choose came from the final call newspaper. In the article the former President of the United States Jimmy Carter professes that the main reason so many white Americans are against President Obama is because of his African American heritage. Carter assumes that most white Americans animosity towards Obama is due to the fact they feel he is not qualified to lead this great country. President Obama has been downplaying the entire negative campaign raged against him by right wing conservatives. President Obama asserts that people are just upset with his administration’s policies. This is far from the truth. Race has been a factor since he entered the Presidential race and it will continue to be a factor until he leaves office. Never in the history of the United States has a President be so disrespected as President Obama; when he was addressing the joint session of Congress a Republican Congressman from North Carolina called him a liar. I know if he were a white man this would have never happened. I feel that President Obama should address the race issue head on; by not addressing the problem things are only going to get worse. This is a great example of social control; we see people in America who exercise considerable amounts of power “white Americans” doing everything in their power to stop this new Presidential administration from passing policies that would help the average citizen. An example of this would be the Obama Health care form policies. There spending large sums of money to sway the general public to oppose these new policies on health care reform.
