When voters rallied to elect Senator Barack Obama as its first African American president, many of those voters were white Americans, who previously vowed they would never put a black man in the White House.  But after years with this country collapsing in financial ruin and imploding from within, people became desperate for change.  For the first time in their lives, they were willing to look beyond the color of one’s skin, if it meant they might, once again, have hope in achieving whatever they believed to be the American Dream.  It was an enormous step for a nation with a despicable and ugly past regarding slavery, lynching and segregation. 

Yet now, nearly a year later, all one needs to do is listen to the hate-filled tirades of Rush Limbaugh, Ann Coulter, among a list of many others, or read the idiotic ramblings of Townhall.com columnist Burt Prelutsky, who brazenly thinks it's okay to refer to First Lady Michelle Obama as a “black bitch.”  And, if you really want to get an honest assessment of what some of the regular Joe Blows of America think about race, the Internet will open your eyes to an endless arsenal of insults being hurled from one community poster to another.  It is America showing its colors with no sense of indecency or shame.                

Join Jay King, Robert Redwine and me, (Joan-Adrienne), as we explore the reasons as to why America remains irrevocably divided when it comes to the never-ending issues on race and inequality.  If you would like to share your point-of-view, please call us at 347-205-9366 or join our chat room.  To gain access to the chat room, you must sign up at www.blogtalkradio.com with a user name and password, before logging onto the show.
