28. You are wasting your time

Sep 2014


In the "New" Democratic Party - race doesn't exist. None of these problems exist. Republicans aren't bigots who hate black people. Republicans never ginned up that hatred since Obama won the nomination.

All is good.

There have never been racially charged images or accusations made against Obama.

This is the "New" Democratic Party.

We have to accept it? I don't know - but a Hispanic man murdered a young black kid in Florida two years ago and got away with it. And one got awful close to the White House. Both are useful tools for the Republicans and their policy of hate.

We have to accept it? I ask you this - What happens to a dream deferred?

You and me? We know. But don't waste your time. There is money to be made. Now go throw an elbow and knock someone else out of their American Dream. . A dream deferred . . .
