Is It About Race Or Not?

Henry Louis Gates Jr. President Obama. Sgt. James Crowley.

Town hall meet. President Obama. Guns.

Televised speech. President Obama. Belligerent man yells "LIAR"!

These are but only a few touchy experiences our president has had thus far since taking oath in office. Since then, officials have confirmed an increased amount of racial groups sprouting all over America. Many people believe it's all about race but many also believe it is all political. So which is it?

"I think an overwhelming portion of the intensely demonstrated animosity toward President Barack Obama is based on the fact that he is a black man, that he's African-American," Jimmy Carter told NBC Nightly News.

"I live in the South, and I've seen the South come a long way, and I've seen the rest of the country that shares the South's attitude toward minority groups at that time, particularly African-Americans."

Michael Steele, has another opinion saying, "President Carter is flat-out wrong. This isn't about race. It is about policy."

But Bill Cosby agrees with Carter saying "During President Obama's speech on the status of health care reform, some members of Congress engaged in a public display of disrespect."

It is true that I have been noticing a lot of disrespect towards President Obama. This could be because I never watched a President so hard and so perhaps it happened with previous Presidents. However, I can't help but to think i'ts got plenty to do with race, with the same amount of political games our government has been playing. What is your take? I mean, have you not heard people claim the only reason they did/didn't vote for him was because he was black? When has that ever happened in our history?

NEVER!! So, how can it not be about race?
