Promise of Attacks on Obama.

I, and a few friends have expressed this fear. I had hoped we, as a nation, had moved beyond this kind of filth. This is from HateWatch:

With the selection of Barack Obama as the first black Democratic nominee for president seeming more possible by the day, racists and white supremacists are posting increasingly ugly and even threatening remarks on the Internet.

“OBAMA WILL DIE, KKK FOREVER,” concludes a Feb. 15 post by “Rodney” to a blog run by a person identified only as Strider333. Above that signoff, Rodney wrote: “The KKK or someone WILL assassinate Obama! If we get a NIGGER President all you NIGGER’s [sic] will think you’ve won and that the WHITE people will have to bow to you[.] FUCK THAT.”

Exactly, what is it that they fear? I won't even venture a guess as that would be attempting to know the minds of these people. I don't want to do that. Oh sure, all the usual stereotypes come to mind, but there's more to it than that. I continue to be mystified by the capacity some humans have for storing hate in their hearts not knowing that hate destroys the soul.

And so it goes.
