Dear Mr President Sir

Dear Mr President sir:

I'll be glad to see you go sir... You have been a total let down for the hope of this nation... You wasted the time of the people who trusted and believed in you... Walk away quietly sir you have done nothing worth remembering...  I am sad in my heart when I think of what could have been... I'm just glad I never got the chance to vote for you...  

The shame that our ancestors must feel when they see what you have allowed on your watch... If someone were to tell me in my youth that I would live to see a day when there would be a president of this nation that is of African origin, I would not have believed them... But even more sir; if they would have said to me that during that same time my people would be worse off than they had ever been I would have called them a lair...  

I would never have believed a Black man could be so gutless... This not about race sir more than it is about fairness... What man of good character could lead a nation where part of it's citizens are openly targeted by racist and racist ideologies and never do a thing to address the issue??? Are you not the president of all people of this nation??? Then why do you not do your duty when part of your nation is under attack??? 

History may look favorable upon you sir and we both know why... Because those who write the history can paint the story to their liking... I on the other hand sir will remember this time and teach my children and their children of the truth of what really took place... I will tell that our brother and countrymen left us to the wolves and looked away from the truth... Our brother abandoned us even though he had the power to do something meaningful he chose to do nothing...  

I know you may never read this sir but if by chance you happen too... I want you to know I have nothing against you; you are my brother and countrymen... I just wanted to let you know about all the hope you have destroyed and of the suffering your people have undergone during this troubled time...  I don't know if you have thought about this but some of the backlash of the last 8 years towards black people has been because you are the president... The blood of the people who have suffered and die because of that fact is on your hands sir...
