As he prepares to give a Martin Luther King memorial speech this weekend that D.C. insiders are already calling a move to further ignite the white guilt strategy that worked so well for them in 2008, the Obama administration too a further and perhaps even more stunning step in re-igniting old racial wounds across America. This week it became known that Obama had placed in a hall just outside the Oval Office the highly controversial Norman Rockwell painting named “The Problem We All Live With” – a searing depiction of the 1960 integration controversy that swept the country at that time.
That painting shows a then six-year old African American Ruby Bridges being escorted into a New Orleans elementary school by federal authorities despite strong opposition by white locals. The painting has the term “Nigger” as one of the primary focal points. It was his use of that term that has made the painting among the most controversial of Rockwell’s normally more historically serene depictions of Americana. The president’s use of this painting also coincides with a particularly aggressive attack by many leading Democrats against the Tea Party where the charges of racism against Tea Party members appears to be the most common tactic.
