The Racial Divides of the Past Repeats in a morphed Version!

Our country is going through a difficult time that try out all of our patients and temper but this is not the first time in our history when this has happened especially when it comes to racial divides encouraged by the in power leaders and others. We have seen these conflicts before when the Chinese slave labor was used to build our great railroad system, the irish and other European slave labor work was used to conquer the wild lands in the vast areas of the then west, and of course the slavery of our african american brothers culminating in the nastiest war ever fought on American soil. Now once again our attention is drawn by force to the spanish community legal or not but those ignorant or many times intentionally driven political leaders have no clue to the pasts price when we as Americans take this course of action. Going to bed with a radically right wing fanatic group that is mostly white in the tea party seems to be backfiring on the republican leaders, the party of Lincoln who freed the slaves in a time that cost thousands of lives of the Civil war of the past. So what exactly is really the driving force to have us all Americans tune on each other by these ignorant and selfish leaders, money the root of all evil and not skin color or ethnic attachments. This mid term elections could be a decisive point in our current history especially if the morally & mental correct of us allow it to just happen and roll over to the actions of a stirred up fanatic group. I grew up appreciating everyone no matter what race or color and to respect their right to exist in this country but that is not the case with many closet hidden racists behind the scenes. Sure I may feel somewhat unfairly treated or even jealous when a racial group seems to be doing better then my own, it's only natural but it does not rule my moral way in respecting all people. The so called white majority need to do the same and see beyond the political boloney spewed out by the leaders who live in a different world then the rest of us, privileged or better yet well of financially unlike the rest of us whites included. The election of this countries first half African American and half other (I think Irish) should be something all good Americans should be proud of not the actions of the no party or some run off group of misguided fanatics like the Tea Party. I just hope white, black, hispanic, asian and all will wake up before it is too late and make sure they vote this coming election keeping the fanatics from gaining any real power. If these fanatics do gain power, whats next the Klan's party to rise again as some force in our country after we finally put those nuts in their place? I hope not. I trust we will see the light soon.
