Why Hate?

This has been one of the most racially charge election I have witnessed since I was able to vote 10 years ago. I don't understand the reason of such hate. Why does a color of someone's skin make a person hate them?

I did not vote for President Obama because of the color of his skin, I voted for him because I know he can effectively run this country. By all means, I do not agree with some of his policies but he has done good work in the last four years he has been in office.

From reading comments from other websites, racism is alive and well. The comments I have seen are shocking calling him everything but a child of God. What is the issue? Why hate? I know that the media has portrayed Blacks as ignorant, loud, violence, etc. This is something that WE really need to work on. Majority of us are not even like that. We are hardworking, intelligent, loving, dedicated group of people. We make a way for our families like a White family does for theirs. But it always come back to the color of our skin. Know the person before you judge.

We saw history last night. President Obama won a second term, the first openly gay woman Senator, and the state of Maryland decided to hold civil ceremonies for gays and lesbians.

To all individuals who are fill with hate, remember this:

You have to answer to someone much higher and He is the one who you should be really afraid of.
