Reply #10: Hello, not to defame a member of my family, but check this out.

I grew up with a Mother who had a complete intolerance to intolerance. She is an egalitarian. So was my Grandmother. Another member of my family, whom I will not designate, came from a poor, Irish background, and it was N this, and N that. This person was heartless. I questioned this person once, and the anger that came from this person was so hot it could have cooked eggs. I never understood the intolerance this person had. It is not as if this person ever had any real problem with black people, it is just as if in the core of this person, intolerance was this persons way. I miss this person, but I absolutely do not miss the racism. It is a complete shame that after all of these years this attitude continues.

The Obama's are excellent people. We all have our imperfections, but they have risen to the top of their world, through dedication, and hard work. That is part of the American Dream, that one can get there through Hard Work, and playing by the rules.

We need to have compassion to others, but how much compassion can we give to the intolerance that some people chose to have over others. In America, we all have a right to our individual liberty, but none have the right to discriminate based upon race. These die-hard racist need to learn this. How do we teach them?
