Unfortunately, too many Americans are still racists. They do not think a black man should be President of the USA. It is not about his politics but about his skin color.

They will deny that, of course, and say Pres. Obama is unqualified since he was only a Senator for a short time and was an activist community organizer helping poor people before that. They will rant about Pres. Obama's citizenship not being valid, not being Christian, having close friends who are socialists or communists and a former minister who said unpatriotic things.

No, it is plain racism. Even in a place as wonderful as The Villages, there is rampant racism. Just look at some of the posts on this forum and you can see the racism.

Fortunately, most Americans have evolved from the days of Jim Crow and now see that skin color does not make the person who he is.
