Some of you may not even notice as you go about your day preparing for the busy holiday weekend. But the public resentment toward Barack Obama that has been bubbling under the surface has finally boiled over.
The purely racist actions by local and national school systems is a sign of tumultuous times ahead for Obama and his administration. According to online reports, local school principals have ordered teachers not to show a planned Obama address to schoolchildren on Tuesday, Sept. 8.
Ruth Keenan, in her 33rd year teaching, says she was stunned to learn from her school’s principal that parents would have to be notified of plans to watch the speech. Parents who don’t want their children to hear the speech can sign a form and return it to the school.
“I was just so shocked,” said Keenan, who teaches at Booth Middle School in Fayette County. “I have never, ever even heard of getting parental approval to watch a presidential speech. It’s just outrageous to me.”
This action by the school system is of course unprecedented in history — and uncalled for. The literature that many parents objected to have been revised.
Obama planned to deliver a positive, upbeat message to the kids encouraging them to stay in school. But the speech was politicized by Obama himself when his aides insisted upon sending curriculum lessons to all schools rather than allow Obama’s message to stand on its own.
Conservatives and Republicans seized upon the literature as a bold attempt by Obama to indoctrinate the nation’s schoolchildren.
I don’t mind pointing out when Obama is wrong (as he so often is). But it’s obvious that this decision by local school administrators is purely racist and sends a signal that the seething anger of many people at the audacity of a half-black man being elected president is finally rearing its ugly head.
Are my eyes deceiving me?? Are you actually defending President Obama?? Am I still on Sandrarose.com?
but african dude called me out for pullin the racist card! wow! it must be obvious now **sip-sip-sip** say aaaaah!!
STRONGLY AGREE AND QUITE HONESTLY I SEE NOTHING WRONG WITH HIM ADDRESSING OUR YOUTH DIRECTLY. OBVIOUSLY A LOT OF THE KIDS ARE NOT GETTING WHAT THEY NEED AT HOME FROM THERE PARENTS. IT’S A POSITIVE STEP TO ME. BUT AGAIN, WHO AM I? AS A MATTER OF FACT MY SON ATTENDS A PRIVATE SCHOOL AND I HAVEN’T RECEIVED A NOTICE. I WILL FOLLOW UP WITH THEM BECAUSE I WOULD LIKE FOR HIM TO TAKE PART IN THE SPEECH.
Sandra get off the gas…this ain;t nothing new…shit it’s been rearing it’ ugly head…U JUST WAKING UP
First, they take prayer out of schools and now this …
not surprised at all!!!!!!
Its okay to disagree with the president, but some of the things i see going…like this…doesn’t have anything to do with politics.
Like i said, i’m not surprised…..saw this coming a long tme ago
Well dayum
Hello All. If only my people would pull their heads out their asses and join together in masses to fight this thing called racism. Together we could be such a formidable force, one that is clever and innovative. It’s a known fact that black children are smarter than white children, until about the 5th grade. That’s when most black children start smelling themselves and well, the rest is history, for most soon thereafter: drugs, sex and babies. We need to come together before the end of time, before Jesus cracks that sky and all eyes shall see Him. Hell, we got time. A year is like a second to God but most of us can’t get off CPT. I’m just saying, Lord, for what it’s worth, I’m just saying. Peace. And remember: Be not easily offended so it won’t slow your flow of joy!!!!!!!!!
PREACH @ #8
I don’t like this at all…I wonder if he had done this school speeech earlier while in office would he get the same reaction. IDK
Sandra (or whatever alien has taken over your fingertips) I’m glad that you still got some sense, and the decency to show it when appropriate.
Amen Sandra! I am truly surprised by your objectivity.

Black celebs and politicians are too busy being used/pimped by rich racist white homosexuals who try to hijack the Civil Rights Movement for their own personal gain. The white homosexuals don’t give a damn about racism unless they can use it to their own personal advantage. Remember what happened when Prop 8 passed – they blamed the niggas. Remember that? We were considered niggas whether you were a hetero black or homo black. You still a nigga in their (the white homos) sight. Get real Black people and stop letting other racial and political groups pimp us.
Why don’t black celebs and polies fight against the racism black professionals are experiencing in Corporate America and the legal profession. How about that?? Most of you dumb azzes don’t even have black attorneys, managers or accountants. Sit your azzes down. I don’t know why we are so interested in your dumb azzes anyways. SMH
Hey attorney mom, what your website again?
Sandra, what’s wrong with you. This has been going on every since the man entered the Presidential race. You have been a part of the problem. Now, your eyes are opening to the truth. You, Beck, Hannity, Limbaugh and the rest of the haters are a part of a society’s not so secret shame. I am used to white folks hating us, but when black folks jump on the band wagon, it’s beyond hate. Self-hating black folks like yourself are beyond pitiful. I’m not saying you have to support Obama’s policies, but it’s obvious you hate Obama the person. Now you want to stand up and say it’s racism. Well, duh!
If African Americans and Latinos would pull together as one…we can takeover this nation! I’m ready….anybody else in!!
Right…cause folks is calling him out on everything! If he eat the wrong kinda potato chips, some potato advocate group is gon get mad……LMAO!
Some people need to chill out…..
@mason mom I’m with you where’s African at??? It’s just so obvious that this is about race that it’s just sad. My hubby and I were watching the news this morning and this white women was on the tv CRYING!!! about her kids having to watch that and the idea of them watching and listening to this nigg#r just upsets me so much. Okay Okay she didn’t say that but she may as well have.
