It is about BLACK folks!

Ok so I am completely in shock right now! Today I was "in so many words" called a racist by one of my long time friends due to an anti Obama email I sent out. I should have not sent out the email because I did not do my homework and the email that will be at the bottom of this turned out to be an untrue campaign. I have also found out that MLK Jr. was not a republican but his father was.
I was also told I had sent that person a "WHITE POWER" email. I am assuming she is speaking of an email I forwarded that spoke about why we have a black history month but no white history month it also stated we have a black miss universe pageant and no white miss universe pageant. Maybe that email was a little much to send to one of my black friends but yet again it was an email I liked so I forwarded it not only to her but about 20 other people of all colors. I guess I thought maybe my black friends would find these questions valid and maybe even comment on the email?
Now all of that aside this email I received went so far as to tell me this was the end of our friendship.
I guess I am just appalled because I thought I was about as far from racist as a person could get? Maybe I am wrong I am not typing this blog to bash my friend I am typing it to get opinions about it maybe I was wrong I sent the friend an email back with a sincere apology telling her I would never have wanted to hurt her ever.
Maybe I was wrong but I just didn't see anything wrong with forwarding an email? I mean do I as a white person have to keep all my opinions to myself to be friends with black folks? It seems that if you are not an obama supporter then you are racist? I mean if someone is my friend it should be because they like me not because they want me to be them. I am not black I never will be I do not act like I am black like some white people I do not have biracial children, I am married to a white guy, and so all that makes me racist I guess??
If I were me or a black person I would want my friends to be themselves all the time I would not want them to be fake and keep opinions to themselves because of me I want my friends to be real.
So now to be real I believe in what I think is right and one of those things is the bible and the bible says Jesus loved all the little children all the children of the world red and yellow black and white I want to be like him and I am I love everyone. I have no hatred in my heart for anyone of any color. I think it is sad that after all our parents went through to change this for us we are still fighting battles such as these!
I should not have to prove my friendship to one of my friends by thinking all of the same things they do. I should be able to be me all the time and that is what I am I could go on and on about the BLACK people in my life that I love and interact with on the daily but I do not need to list the BLACK friendships I have to anyone I am ok with me and that is what matters.
Maybe I should not forward emails about racial issues to anyone but white folks to keep from upsetting sensitive people but that just aint me so take me or leave me this is still me!
PS can we as a nation please remember OBAMA IS NOT BLACK he is BIRACIAL HALF WHITE just as white as he is black!!!!!!!!
I am really looking for honest comments I hope this blog does not get blown out of proportion like my email did… this is the email I sent…
HELP RAIN ON OBAMA'S PARADE! This is a campaign like no other. With your help, we will put up 50 - that's right - 50 "Martin Luther King, Jr. was a Republican" billboards all over the City of Denver, while the Democratic Party is having their national convention there. What a way to upset the "coronation" of the Democratic Party's "messianic" presidential nominee, Sen. Barack Obama. Arrogant is the word for Obama, a far left-winger, who is attempting to assume the mantle of Dr. King by giving his political acceptance speech on the anniversary of Dr. King's "I Have a Dream" inspirational civil rights speech. History shows that Dr. King was a minister who embraced the traditional values that made our country great. Obama has the most liberal voting record in the US Senate. Obama is no MLK. Join the fun. Donate now to our Denver billboard campaign and help make history. No amount is too small. Click here to donate to the NBRA's Denver billboard campaign.


I can not understand why I lost a friend I really thought was a good person over this? Would she rather I pretend I love Obama and Pretend I think it is right that there is no WHITE MISS USA?



Love to all and I do mean all,
