Did any of you even read this article? Denise asked the question, is it fair to force schoolchildren to watch a speech that could be potentially political and/or partisan in nature? It had nothing to do with the color of Obama’s skin.

It is not fair to call every Republican a rascist. There are, believe it or not, certain issues that Democrats & Republicans disagree on other than whether they care about the color of the President’s skin.

You want to talk about ignorance and judgement? It goes both ways.

My nephew loved the speech. It inspired him a little more to think someone as high as the President of the United States cares enough to make time and bring encouraging words to he and fellow classmates around the world.

From the parent’s perspective, the reaction proves the fact that all of the nonsense that has occurred this summer with Healthcare and this speech prove the fact that some of my white peers are racist. They are the minority but they get attention to the media and that is exactly what the media wants.

I believe most republicans have no reason being republicans so I know that fear and ignorance is rampant in the follows of that party. Folks, it boils down to where are you economically in your life, social issues and what your parents voted for have nothing to do with who you need to affiliate yourself with in 2009.

Its a sad day for our country, when we recite …”one nation under God… What a shame that our nation is so divided by the color of our skin. They can cook for you, they run touchdowns for you, they can work beside me and teach my children but you can not lead me. Its a shame

Conservatives have had problems with blacks in their schools for over a century, and the objection to Obama’s school broadcast is just one more episode in the disgrace that is the history of blacks and education in the south. Many conservatives, consciously or not, cringe at the notion of a black man in authority. Obama is not their president; to them he is one more black person trying to get into a school he has no business being in. The speech uproar was just another busing protest, without the buses.

Wow, I fear for the future of SC when you read the posts of brainwashed conservatives like Mr. Williams spouting the talk radio “BS”. Now is the time for intelligent people of our state to confront these yoyo’s on the merit of their rediculous statements.

Isn’t Rush Limbaugh the same person who was calling OUR PRESIDENT a “halfrican” a while back?

The fact that you allow this man to speak for you says volumes about the credibility of your beliefs about President Obama.
