The chickens are coming home to roost

In his 2008 campaign for President, Obama famously – and accurately – said:

“And it’s not surprising then that they get bitter, they cling to guns or religion or antipathy to people who aren't like them.”

At the time, he had no idea how prophetic his remarks were. He knew he would be a lightening rod for the fears of “real Americans”. But the depth and persistence of the rumors that he was Kenyan, Muslim and socialist – all patently and provably untrue – must have shocked him.

Fear is nothing new in American politics. Especially for Christian whites. Which is curious because for the entirety of the nation’s history christian whites have had it good – while minorities - from blacks, to Chinese, to Hispanics have been enslaved, discriminated against and treated as sub-human.

But as Bob Dylan sang.. the times they are a changin

You write as though Christian caucasianshave never known bias and bigotry, the statement is wrong, and an example of bigotry.
