The Press Sentinel

It is amazing to me that we have not moved further in this push to eradicate racism for good. Everyday on the news there is a story about some sort of hate crime against the opposition of President Elect Obama. It is ridiculous that even school age kids are apart of this mess as well. There have been countless stories on the news here in Atlanta about some kid being threatened or chastised about our new president to be. They actually increased security at many schools after the election because they anticipated that there may be some issues.....WHAT?

My mother actually had a close co-worker come to work the day after the election in ALL black. She avoided everyone African American and said she was in mourning because we have a "black muslim president" and that she no longer feels safe. Jesup is so ridiculously "pro white" that they covered the entire election with only positive topics about McCain and Palin. It was very obvious that the writers were republican and supported the republican party. They even had the nerve to refuse to post a header the day after the election to acknowledge Obama's victory. It took the NAACP going to the newspaper to file a complaint for them to print a story about our new president. The story was printed one week after the election on Nov. 11. If you don't believe me check out the link!

It's really sad but not very surprising. During his speech on election night, I was so nervous and prayed that no one would make an attempt on his life. A lot of people are not ready for this.

I just want to scream! MADNESS!! They even told students not to talk about the election during school! WHat is that about! Ridiculous! He is Christian, his father was Muslim and maybe he grew up a certain way but her was certainly baptized, people need to read up! Girl I'm just trying to stay prayerful for this man and his family because racism truly exists!

I tell you ignorance is bliss. These people choose to be stupid, because they are no longer ignorant. There was a city in Texas that did not print a story about President elect and the editor told the news reporter that it wasn't news and was not going to have his newspaper print a story.
