Fear of a Multicultural State

It seems that Obama's candidacy has caused a small up tick in web traffic on white supremacist websites. Here's the story in the Washington Post.

Actual quotes from the article:

"White people wake up!"

"White people have always seen this government as being for them."

"(Don) Black has enlisted the help of 40 moderators and his 19 year old son to help run (his white supremacist website)"

This is the politics of fear at its worst. This is what happens when one group of people feel that their own well being can only come at the cost of others.

I have to remind myself that these fearful souls are far outnumbered by those who have embraced the idea of a future where anyone can lead our nation and people really are judged by the content of their character.

What scares me is that it only takes one fearful soul to fire a well aimed rifle.

My hope? "Perfect love casts out all fear."
