Why I Can't "Just Get Past It & Let It Go." (Part 2)

See ... The video below shows exactly why when it comes to matters of race that I - as a black man - can't "just get past it & let it go." The one thing I hate more than just downright ignorance is when it is verbally justified and enforced by those with such a mindset.

The video below shows exactly what so-called common "Main Street" people are saying and just how they feel about Barack Obama. Now I don't have a problem with a person feeling a certain way about an issue or another person, but - as you will see - ignorance is when you take a stand on an issue, but have no foundation for such a stand. It is only the American way when you boldly hold and strongly profess a belief, but when asked upon what is that belief based, all you get is a " ..... " pause. That silent pause says volumes!

Watch and you'll see that when the cameraman asks a simple question that he's initially met with a " ..... " pause. That pause is the person trying to gather their thoughts and come up with an answer ... but they never seem to come up with one that makes any damn sense!

This, my friends is IGNORANCE AT IT'S FINEST!!
