John Lewis did something brave 50 years ago, so now he gets to blame racism for anything and everything. And don’t you dare say different, because Selma.
Check out this tough question from USA Today’s Susan Page:
“It’s so strange. Ever since [Obama has] been president, people [have been] trying to take something from him. That’s he’s not American, that he was not born here. But we must keep in mind that the scars and stains of racism are still deeply embedded in American society. We have a distance to go. We’re not there yet. We have not yet created a post-racial society.”
How can we have a post-racial society when people still hold the President of the United States accountable for his words and actions, even though he’s a black guy? How dare we judge him by the content of his character? When we see the color of his skin, we should feel guilty and shut up.
Right, John Lewis?
America elected Barack Obama. Twice. But we’re still racist, because we’ve been paying attention to what he’s been doing.
By the way, Obama’s detractors didn’t start the rumor that he wasn’t born on U.S. soil. Obama did.

But fortunately, he was lying. He was born in Hawaii, not Kenya. Hope that helps!
