Racism, Even Fox News Recognizes
President Carter have pointed out to what Marc Lamont Hill, a Columbia University professor and FOX News contributor ,calls a huge elephant in the room. I personally believe that the press coverage on Obama's administration is going too far away from the conventional.
By identifying the racial dimensions of the current political moment, President Carter has pointed out a huge elephant in the room. Until the rest of the Democratic Party musters the courage to do the same on a regular basis, President Obama will continue to take unnecessary hits. And so will our national character.

Racism, as relates to this President, is indeed an elephant in the room that fuels a portion of opposition to him and his agenda.
But, as has been demonstrated here at this site, and as would happen wherever and whenever the subject is raised, almost everything would screech to a halt as cries of denial of the existence of racism seek a position of dominance.

The inability for some to comprehend that the racists in this country do not disagree with the policies of President Barack Hussein Obama Jr. but because of his race lies at the heart of the incredulity of those who dismiss race as a factor that causes some to oppose the President.
There is a viceral, ugly element of hate that is stoked everyday, 24 hours a day, with hundreds of thousands embracing the message over the airwaves and the internet, with many kicking around ideas and plans involving evil deeds with President Obama at the center of the discourse.
As major representatives from both parties, the Democrats but ESPECIALLY the Republicans turn a blind eye, wary of possible political fallout, a great disservice is done to the nation.
For almost two years, the incorrect belief the President is not an American, the lie he is Muslim, and all of the other nonsense that has been allowed to grow and fester have allowed him to be added to the 'He's not one of us' column, making him vulnerable to those racists who would be riled and embrace those beliefs.
It is dangerously naive and ridiculous to entertain the belief that President Obama's receiving death threats at an increase of 400%, the highest ever since protection has been provided for U.S. presidents, is based solely on his policies and the direction he has chosen to guide the country.
The F.B.I. has warned of the "lone wolf" , who may be stoked and catapulted into violent action.
