Feels like racial hatred

It feels way more like racial hatred than an ideological fight. More about the color of the president's skin than the provisions of the Affordable Care Act. It feels like the silence of the Republican moderates is feeding the extremism of gerrymandered colleagues.
It feels like I want to hold a banner as big as the American sky: “He is black. He is our president. Get over it.”
