The issues of race became more open when Barrack Obama became the Democratic standard bearer and then elected president. Most racism in is based on “scapegoatism”, the need to have someone/group to look down on.The people who had/have those needs went berserk because a Black president meant, in their minds.”Now I don’t have anyone beneath me to look down on, now I am at the bottom!” That is why open racism has to returned in some places, and usually in abodes of racism, to a pitch not seen since the late sixties and early seventies when their world was destroyed.That is why Repubs (Most were Democrats until the late sixties/seventies when civil rights legislation was passed and enforced.) in Congress are so mad they cain’t see or do anything other than block the Black president!White racist began buying guns at fever levels.Most of these people are older and fewer young,so the future is bleak for that ilk and is in fact a dying breed!This demographic fact is seen in both elections of President Obama.It is my understanding that older White people were the only major group from which Obama did not receive a majority of support.

What we are experiencing reminds me of the afternoon thunderstorms in SW Florida which take out most of the humidity, create lovely weather,great sunsets and many versions of purple clouds.I pray that I am correct!
