Concerned for America (not verified) says:

I'll be the first to admit that I don't follow politics for the very simple reason that it's all for show. People expect a canadate to follow-through on their statements, but once they get into office they never do. I've served my country as an American not a Polish American or in this case a Black American, I've served as a soldier in Iraq, as a Deputy Sheriff and a State Police Officer, and it really bothers me to see a double standard. It is true that this country has a fear of calling out racist people and actions, if it's coming from someone that happens to be black. My mom is one of the Oparh followers that watches that woman every week. And when I stop by to visit, well I am forced to watch also. From only allowing black publicists, to not resting until every black boy and black girl in Africa has an education. It's alright to want to support your family, culture, friend and people. But only if it is "Fair" that's something that this country has forgotten about. And I feel I have more right than anyone to say that, being that I actally served my country. Most people think that just because they are born here and live here that what they say is equal to those that provide the security for which that are allowed to speak.
I makes me sad to see all the racist crap going on in this country and no one has the guts to call it out to the line. I think that's the worse thing about serving your country is knowing that you directly are responsible for giving the fredom for those to say and do what ever they choose, and they choose to mismanage and falsely represent good ideals.
