Jesse Jackson. Now that history has given us a non Caucasian President for the first time racism seems to be broadening to encompass not only speech, or deeds, but also thought. Under the guise of political correctness which alone is an extremely dangerous process which paralyzes with a fear of repercussion or retaliation anyone guilty of such an infraction. \u00c2\u00a0Obviously those in the mainstream media who so eagerly promoted the election of the first liberal, black to the office of President, are the first to decry racism at every opportunity should anyone dare object to anything Obama. \u00c2\u00a0Those who try to inject race into any discussion simply for the purpose of political gain are below contempt and are simply despicable. Incapable of intelligent debate based on fact, logic, and reason discussion typically degrades into childish tantrums and atypical name calling and smearing. \u00c2\u00a0Even when giving the benediction at the Presidential Inaugural, Rev. Lowry simply could not resist injecting a racist jab with no outcry to be found from anyone in the mainstream media. \u00c2\u00a0Apparently, such actions will be given a pass and are therefore approved because Obama has been elevated to the highest office in the land. \u00c2\u00a0Does this mean that rather than being \u00c2\u00a0judged by the content of our character first that we will be judged by \u00c2\u00a0the color of our skin? Especially if we dare to disagree with Obama and such actions will warrent the label of racist? Only time will tell.
