Putting Racial Victimization Behind Us
B
arack Obama, the president who, if nothing else, proved America is not a racist nation by showing that anyone who chooses to use his gifts to advance can do so, probably wasn’t even asleep yet after giving his acceptance speech when:
Some fired gunshots, a felon accused cops of arresting him “because a black man won for president” and a teenager standing with throngs of passionate revelers used the opportunity to slap a police officer, Cook County prosecutors said.
“White bitches. F— McCain. You white police can’t do nothing,” 19-year-old Celita Hart taunted officers as she stood with a throng of Obama supporters in the 6900 block of South Western Avenue, Assistant State’s Attorney Lorraine Scaduto said in a court Wednesday. At some point, authorities said, Hart left the crowd, which had been chanting “Obama, Obama,” walked up to a squad car, and smacked a male officer in the face.
What were those words? You know, the two words Obama used all the time? Yeah, that’s right: Hope … and Change.
Not off to a good start.
