Default Non-issue

Ahh, great list! I hate when people try to tackle real racism in the world, we MUST only focus on those racist Tea Party members.

Orwell wrote of how the word "Fascist" had really lost its meaning. Rather than defining a political ideology, it now just meant something bad. The same thing has happened to racism. The scary thing is racism is real in today's world. Yet when we use the word to attack Conservatives, people forget about the real racism in the world. Race has been a non-issue for a long time among Republicans. Do people seriously think there's families sitting around the dinner table saying "Gee, I really agree with this man's platform (black) but I think I'm going to vote for the other guy because he's white."

As Dinesh D'Souza said (to paraphrase) "I concede that in a country of 300 million people you can find isolated incidents of racism, but show me a racism that prevents you or me or anyone else from living the American dream."

#2 same as #3.
The intent behind this entire thread is merely a more subtle way of tossing it out there. But then again, many of us on CD are well aware that inciting race based conflict in various threads and sitting back to watch the fireworks is the modus operandi of the OP.

True. Liberals are obsessed with race. The very people that claim they are against racism are the biggest proponents of such.

Any words of TRUTH about obama = a racist comment.
Doesn't matter what is said.
If it comes from a person who can see him for what he really is, it is a racist comment.
But then, that is what he wants.
Obimbo just LOVES those racist comments.
Now he has a new way to destroy, get those mexicans in our poor me club and we will dethrone them later.
NOBODY gets to be a "poor me" but us, the black folk.
Just ask Al Sharpton.
