Hate is the problem.

This is a link that shows a map showing locations of racist tweets after Obama was elected, Mississippi and Alabama have the most with Georgia, Louisiana, Tennessee, North Dakota, Utah, and Missouri.  All I have to say is REALLY?!  We are still facing ignorant people who say things like this??????   Ugh, get some compassion and education people!  This article talks about a woman from California (Denise Helms, 22) who is under investigation by the Secret Service from her post: "Another 4 years of this (N-word), maybe he will get assassinated this term."  Then her response to this to a news crew: "The assassination part is kind of harsh. I'm not saying like I would go do that or anything like that, by any means, but if it was to happen, I don't think I'd care one bit."  People like this are the problem.  People who have so much hate in their hearts that murder or cruelty is the answer.  Wake up people!!!!  This hate hurts everyone, tears apart nations.  Our country has to be better than this, have we learned nothing from our history?  Have we learned nothing from others' histories?  We had a civil war here (though not alone, other countries have had civil wars) where we fought each other, brothers killed brothers...or did we learn nothing from WWII and the Holocaust?  People make mistakes, yes, but we are in 2012, we can't change history, but we can LEARN from those mistakes.  Yes, Barack Obama is black.  Is this really the most important characteristic about him people can bring up?  Ugh.
