When oh when, will I be forgiven?

Let's me ask a hypothetical question.

If you were of German descent, and it just so happened your great grandfather was executed during WWII as a war criminal nazi, but after this occurred your Grandmother moved to the states, where she gave birth to your mother, who gave birth to you.

Now, you meet John Smith on the street, who is of Jewish decent. If Mr. Smith announced that his Grandfather was in the nazi-death camps and brutally mis-treated, does Mr. Smith deserve an apology from you?? In my opinion, no. Not at all. You weren't born, you can't control others actions. Mr. Smith needs to accept that the past was a tragedy and that you are not responsible for that which you cannot control.

This brings me to an article I found today...(regrettably). Read it here,

If you don't want to read the whole article, I can summarize. Ms. Kelley states that she upset that the President is being attacked verbally and that those who are attacking him by calling him a Nazi, commie, etc. are doing so because he is black. Her primary concern is that, it isn't being discussed as the reason for the attacks.

It's like this. If I was going to highschool, and the bank required a $5 deposit every month as...I don't know...tax for the school... and a guy was using the high school bank irresponisably and stating he wanted to pool everyones money together to provide...I don't know...a school nurse that the district couldn't afford (go with me on this). Now let's say the many of the student body didn't want their money being allocated to this nurse. Now let's assume this subject was doing it anyway and I called him a socialist. WHY am I calling him a socialist? Is it because he's acting like a socialist? Or is because he's gay, black, muslim, indian, japanese or whatever other picture you portray as the fella running the bank? No, it's simply because of his actions. Nothing further.

This ideal that any attack made toward the President because he is black needs to stop. This is the same thought process that makes many young black men who are arrested (LEGALLY) spout off "If I was white this wouldn't be happening".

Okay people, when can I be forgiven for my ancestors who I know NOTHING about? When will someone look at me and judge me for MY actions rather than those of my forefathers? When can someone look at the color of MY skin and judge me based on MY thought processes and actions rather than some mainstream ideal that states if I so much as test higher on a promotion quiz as opposed to minorites, that the test was rigged for ME.

This line of thought, is dangerous and backwards. I pray for the day that all of America can look inside themselves and realize, that THEIR desicions make their life.

Lastly though, this unfair protection that Obama is recieving for being called a Nazi is blatantly obvious. The proof is that no one so much as hinted that THIS web page or other comments made about Bush were inappropriate.



**Afterthough**
Please understand, that I know people are out there who are blatantly racist. They have a hatred for no reason other than ignorance. This is addressing the notion that a VAST majority of the waking world is racist, which is not the case.
