Reverend Wayne Perryman has heard enough of the charges that those who disagree with President 0 are racist. He was a keynote speaker at a Tea Party rally in Vancouver, WA. Was that Tea Party organized by racists? No! he says.
Can we disagree with our president without being racist?
Perryman speaks strongly against the charge; it's without basis. He also recounts the history of racism in America and the Jim Crow laws that were perpetrated by the Democrat Party - the party of Jimmy Carter - all the way through for over a hundred years.
His book - The Drama of Obama - Analyzing Obama's Speech on Race covers the same topics.

It is not impossible that the pendulum could swing back. A few blacks are already starting to realize that the Jimmy Carters, HL Gateses, and Mike Nifongs are not their friends. The myriad false accusations of racism trivialize the genuine accusations.
The black community has been ill-served by Democratic educational policies and anti-nuclear-family policies. It might take another fifty years but I fully believe (or at least hope) that the pendulm will swing back.
