April 27, 2011: A Day of National Shame

The release by the White House of President Obama's "official" birth certificate was a poignant reminder of just how deep and pervasive racism remains in our nation.

Think about this: A sitting president has to "prove" to the nation that he was indeed born in America -- Hawaii -- and therefore eligibly qualified to be elected president of the United States!

A factually non-issue was permitted become a national issue, not because of Donald Trump and the media. No, this was the ultimate result, of the silence and tacit acquiescence of white political, religious, and community leaders, especially leaders of faith-based organizations, who sat, said and did nothing to counter this insidious new form of 21st-century racism. The silence and abnegation of moral leadership, by persons whom we should have otherwise expected to publicly to challenge this growing "birther" issue, is a stain on the conscience of our nation.

You have no other way to signal your distress of being unemployed? Did you call 911 yesterday because you feel that the national unemployment situation is a life threatening emergency? Your ends don't justify your means.

Where's the upside down flag for the tornado victims.

I remember when people stared wearing ribbons for AIDS, now there's even a ribbon for male pattern baldness "A hair is a terrible thing to waste".

The flagrant use of these ribbons has diminished the meaning behind it, it has become just too common.

I must say I was disappointed to see such an iconic deeply meaningful symbol used like a a coffee filter.

I consider millions of people starving, facing homelessness, committing suicide, being without healthcare and no suitable (or any jobs for that matter) to be a National crisis.

Wear this with pride!

They have been too busy examining the ink and font type on the birth certificate.

That ink on the birth certificate wasn't invented until 1981. It actually was made for the invitations to Princess Diana's Royal wedding. The soviets went back in time and forged Obama's birth certificate but mistakenly used this wrong anachronistic ink. It's simply because the soviet time traveler's were not vetted properly and therefore made this terrible mistake. This has laid too much doubt at the feet of their Obama android, the Obandroid if you will, and now he can't bring about the down fall of our country by giving us healthcare.
