Friends, I hope you’ll read this article and consider the truth that racism is alive and well in white Southern congressmen who don’t want to accept an educated black man as a president. They sure can’t find it in themselves to respect him.

My favorite remark by Dowd: “For two centuries, the South has feared a takeover by blacks or the feds. In Obama, they have both.”
