California Has Racists? Duh....


The mayor of Los Alamitos, Dean Grose, recently sent out an e-mail showing an Obama White House lawn planted with watermelons. This elected official included a title: “No Easter egg hunt this year.”

So... this is a mayor in California... not Mississippi, Tennessee, Alabama?!? BUT, CALIFORNIA! Shame on him. This was both insulting and disgusting... THESE ANTICS MUST STOP IF AMERICA HOPES TO MOVE FORWARD. Vivian Berryhill 2/25/09

People like the mayor and Sharon who think this is funny are nothing but racist cowards (to use Atty Gen Holders term) hiding behind humor.

Even after Obama has packed his Administration full of white people hoping to be accepted by them as post racial, hope he now sees that he is still and always will be considered a N-- by them. He better wake up and go back to the folks who made him like Wright, Farakahn, Jesse or he will be lynched.

Black people are too sensitive. The email is a spoof. Big deal. Cartoonists released satire on Geo W and everyone laughed. Is Obama above being made fun of? Sheesh!!!!!

To Miss Soul Voice,

1st off, I am a white republican female. I'm weighing in on this topic becuase I see a pattern developing. Everytime someone makes a joke or criticizes or disagrees with Pres. Obama, we white people are suppose to be made felt guilty and have to apologize and retract the statement. NO!

Is Obama above being the brunt of a joke? We whites are being put in a plantation box and if we can't be free to express our minds, jokes, emails we will soon be treated like you Black people were in slavery. This is nuts.

Having followed this blog for many months now, I enjoy how fair and broad thinking Miss Soul Voice you have been. BTW I cannot tell by your writings if you are a D or a Repub or Independent. Which are you? But you are wrong on this one. This is not racist.

I hate to say I told you so. But I said months ago that Barak Hussein Obama would set race relations in this country back 50 years. He is the most divisive, angry black man trying to fool everyone with that fake smile he flashes, who will wreck this nation before he leaves office. Heaven help us.

Wow! You really riled them up this time. I am Black but I agree that we can't cry racism on everything. Soon it will seem like "the sky is falling" everytime a comment or a cartoon is published.

Let's face it, racism exists and as long as we are Black that will not change. We have to learn to thrive and prosper in spite of racism. I personally would like to see Blacks get angry because we don't support each other's businesses, or get angry because we don't pull together to make sure we reach our goals. We need to stop trying to change others and change ourselves.

I direct this comment to the white female republican. You say you see a pattern here? Well I hope you see the pattern that has been developing for the last few weeks: Washington Post story "RacCoons in the White House" referring to President Obama and family as Coons. Then NY Post with the "shooting of Monkey Barack under the guise of shooting the Stimulus bill". And then the "Watermellons on the White House lawn"

There is an undercurrent to reduce the president to being a bling bling, flim flam slickster black man, and we black people see it and will call it out every time we see it!

GROW UP ALREADY. The watermelon email is funny. The raccoons in the WH was a legit story (there was a raccoon at the WH and he was captured yesterday) and the monkey shooting story was a reference more to Congress and Pelosi than BHO. Race relations in the USA is becoming worse everyday under Prez O. We are heading to a Civil Rights War at this rate because whites are NOT going to take this superiority treatment by blacks and will not keep walking on eggshells to avoid appearing racist for every little reference to, around or remotely ABOUT Prez O.

And to think we have 3 years and 11 more months of this man in the White House. I am sorry already that I voted for him.
