I just read a headline about how Obama's election is spurring hate crimes, cross burnings, etc... What year are we living in that someone would not only feel such ignorant hate but also feel completely comfortable expressing it? Where is the shame? My dad got text messages from people he works with that were filled with racial slurs following the election and christians that I know are still promoting false information about Obama's religion. Where is the truth? Whether you voted for him or not Barack Obama is our president, the leader of our nation, and as such deserves our respect. I know some who would agree with that, encourage that sentiment out the right side of their mouth while bashing him with the left. How is that respect? How is gossip and rumor spreading a sign of respect? We all should feel ashamed! Ashamed of our country that still harbors such stupid hatred and really ashamed of Christians who do not seek out the truth before condemning others (I include J.K. Rowling in this as well--I can't tell you how many people quote a false article written by a comic newspaper to me about J.K. Rowling recruiting children to become witches.)
It is time for us to embrace the leader that God has chosen for our nation. It is time for us to stand up and speak out against racism wherever it is met.
