This picture popped into my Facebook news feed this evening, so I thought I’d share it here.

Interesting, yes? And hateful, agreed? Disgusting too, correct? Take a good look as well at the image of the effigies being burned; do you notice the crucifix on the wall of the building in the background? Hmmm.

The montage illustrates how some folks greeted the election of President Obama in 2009. The new president sought to become a “post-racial” leader. He didn’t succeed in that effort.

As he said in his farewell speech on Jan. 10, it likely was an unrealistic goal. So it turned out to be.

The protests against Donald Trump’s ascent to the presidency? They seem downright civil. Sure, I heard about Madonna’s ridiculous and frightening threat to “burn down the White House”; the Material Girl said she spoke metaphorically and that her comment was taken out of context. Sure thing, lady.

Back to my point.

How about the Trumpkins around the country stop complaining about the rough treatment their guy is getting from the rest of the country that didn’t vote for him?

We live in an angry time.
