CARTOON BY  HOPE N CHANGE CARTOONS

IN A RECENT SPEECH ON RACE RELATIONS IN THIS COUNTRY PRESIDENT OBAMA FOCUSED ON HIS YOUTHFUL DAYS AS A BLACK MAN IN AMERICA.  HE TALKED ABOUT BEING FOLLOWED AROUND THE DEPARTMENT STORE BY A SECURITY GUARD, ABOUT HEARING CAR DOORS LOCK AS HE PASSED THEM BY ON THE STREET AND LADIES CLUTCHING THEIR PURSES TIGHT WHEN HE WAS ON AN ELEVATOR WITH THEM.  HIS IMPLICATION WAS THEY DID THIS BECAUSE HE WAS A BLACK MAN.  HE WAS RIGHT.  PEOPLE READ THE PAPERS AND LISTEN TO THE NEWS AND THEY ARE AWARE THAT YOUNG BLACK COMMIT MORE CRIME THAN DO YOUNG WHITES PER CAPITA.  DOES HE BLAME THOSE OLD LADIES IN ELEVATORS AND SITTING IN LOCKED CARS----YES HE DOES!  BECAUSE AFTER ALL THEY MUST BE RACIST BECAUSE THEY PROFILE.  DOES HE BLAME BLACK  YOUTHS FOR THE CRIMES THEY COMMIT THAT GIVE PEOPLE CAUSE TO SUSPECT THEM----NO HE DOESN'T.  OBAMA IS POINTING THE FINGER AT WHITE AMERICA FOR A PROBLEM THAT EXIST IN BLACK AMERICA.
