"What binds this nation together is not the color of our skin or the tenets of our faith or the origins of our names," he stated. Then let's end the government's obsession with African-Americans, Hispanic-Americans, and Asian-Americans (but never European-Americans). We are all Americans. I feel some moral authority and passion on this subject as a black American whose family moved here from England in the 1600s. I am a full-blooded American!

I can't bear to hear one more person say, "I'm so glad we have an African-American president." How ironic: Martin Luther King, Jr., urged that we judge people by the content of their character, not the color of their skin.

The head of the Congressional Black Caucus admitted that the CBC treats the President with a "deference" not accorded to a white President, and that the CBC is "hesitant" to criticize the current President. "With 14 percent unemployment [versus 6.9 percent for whites], if we had a white president, we'd be marching around the White House."

This Administration and/or its tools use race as a crutch when facing legitimate criticism, for example Susan Rice's willful or incompetent misleading of Americans about the Benghazi deaths. Rep. Jim Clyburn said calling Susan Rice "unqualified" to be Secretary of State was a racist "code word."

Curiously, "unqualified" was not a "code word" when used against Clarence Thomas in his Supreme Court hearings. It was noted that he was particularly unqualified because he had served on the D.C. Circuit for only one year and four months. God forbid we should raise the same question about Elena Kagan or Thurgood Marshall (whom Thomas replaced), who were never judges at all.

And what about the other Rice? Who can forget how a former Secretary of State, Dr. Condoleezza Rice, was maliciously attacked as a "house slave" in the Bush Administration?
