Pretty much summed it up....racist hate the idea of a black president and they're scared now so they aren't so complacent as they were in their "White Guys as President Only" days....racists are the problem NOT Obama.

Well if racist are so mad about Obama what can he do? You want him to step down or leave. Let Biden take over so racist can at least feel a little better? He cant help if someone hates how he was born. Sorry.

Nope, Obama's radical agenda has nothing to do with it. It's all racism. Keep singing that song....

Normally, I don't respond to posts that contain only a link, but your subject line was enough meat to chew on, so here I am, opening my big mouth.

I have to say that the statement is absurd. It places the blame for one's relationships on another. You are the only one responsible for the quality of your relationships.

President Obama is doing his job as he believes it should be done. Part of living in a democracy means letting our elected officials do their work as they choose. If we don't like it, we can vote them out at the next election. IF they break our laws, we can remove them earlier. At this point, I am not aware that he has broken any laws, no matter how creative the C-D Political Forum would have you believe otherwise.

Race relations suck in this country, and have ALWAYS. The tensions may have been hidden until now, when the economy is bad -- OUR fault, and people are stressed, but they've always been there.

Bigotry is a social disease and needs to be fixed in ours. We need to face our fears, our hatreds, and our sins against one another, REPENT, and move on. President Obama cannot initiate that healing, it has to start with each of US.

That's where you are wrong. The United States is officially a constitutional republic but in reality has evolved into a elective monarchy. Over the past 230 or so years we have gradually replaced the pomp and ceremony of a hereditary monarchy with the pomp and ceremony of elected monarchy.

At the rate we are going, we might as well have stayed under the British ....

First, let me say that I'm no way no how an Obama fan. But as far as race is concerned, the guy is in a no win situation. He's going to represent something to racists of all kinds...all that is evil or all that is an opportunity to (as some have seen it) "get back at" others. He has been seen and is still being seen by some as the one who will right all racial wrongs and all the baggage that goes with it. He's being viewed as the one who will heal all racial ills and evils.

What unrealistic and ridiculous goals and expectations for one man.

No one can be all that and do all that. No matter what he says on race, someone's going to get bent. He won't go far enough for those on either end of the spectrum, or he will go too far for others.

skinem !!! ... Damn Well Said !

Indeed the extraordinary expectations of so many folks regarding the actions and or accomplishments of "The One" youngman in the Ole WH is absolutely "Mind Boggling" to say the least !

Unfortunately for HO's acutely delusional "Automations" ... They have no clue about just how unbelieveably inexperienced and inept the current WH crew truly are ! This bunch is truly in "Way Over Their Head's" and the lack of credible accomplishments and disregard for the will of the majority of American Citizens speaks volumes about their dismal record thus far !

As far as the so called current state of precarious U.S. "Race Relations" are concerned ... we should never blame the "Race" of the TPOTUS on any existing deterioration within the great racial divide that appears to be alive and well within America.

There is absolutely nothing wrong with being a "Half-Breed" such as the U.S. has currently placed in the WH ... Everyone should be "Proud" of their race as they methodically & dilligently develop into "Proud Americans" !

Just imagine how facinating it would truly be if the "White Folks & Black Folks" in America would resolve to cooperatively work together to resolve the tremendous problems facing this great nation ... of course this would mean the setting aside of the "Racism" that appears to exist among both groups !

Will it ever happen in America ... can we eliminate the "Your A Racist" madness that may well destroy this entire nation on day or not ?

It's all up to us ! No doubt America's many enemies around the world would dearly love to witness America destroying itself due to the utter madness of "Racism" ! Of course we would make their conquest of North America much, much easier after destroying each other !

Keep on playing the mindless "Your A Racist Card" and many folks may just accomplish their own destruction along with the remainder of the nation !

Do we as a nation of civilized and "Proud" Americans have the guts to put a stop to this absolute "Your A Racist" madness or not ? Do we dare suffer the dire consequences of chosing to not give a tinkers damn about the issue and continue as usual ? Perhaps the "Loonies" who perfer to continue on the the "Racist" Bandwagon will one day very soon wake up one morning to discover they are now living in a conquered nation and have become the new slaves for a harsh foreign master !

Only a complete fool cannot see the handwriting on the wall regarding this dire situation !!! Thanks / Old Sgt. Lamar
