Really Though??

While listening to my favorite radio talk show host Gayle King, this morning, I heard to most thought provoking comment from one of the callers. The topic was race and specifically about Rep. Wilson's "You Lie" interuption of the President's address to Congress. The woman said she was a republican white lawyer and that she wanted to give the point of view from a white person; and that basically white people felt like President Obama's policies were stealing from them (white people) to give to minorities.

WOW!

The caller went on to say that she didn't think Rep. Wilson's comments were racially based but more so dealing with the fact that according to her white people feel like the President is taxing them more to give to the poor. I was just shocked at hearing her comment.

If this is true and the general consensus of white people is that the President is in office to take their hard earned money and give it to poor lazy minorities just because he is Half Black, what were Black people supposed to feel during the administration of all the other 43 White Presidents?
