Ancient Bias Language: “Blacks Don’t Know; Whites Know”

September 20, 2011 by

One of the greatest of all ugliness is to continuously label the first African-American President of America as a “Don’t know” President.  The Tea Party Grand old Party (TPGOP) is using a dangerous and ugly strategy that hurt Americans to the core.  Nevertheless, African-Americans accept the fact that President Obama is one of the most intelligent […]
