I've got to do better than that? I could just debate the way you do:

If you don't like Barack Obama you're a racist.

If you don't think that Barack Obama is doing an excellent job you're a racist.

If you dare to question Barack Obama or anything that he does you're a racist.

RACIST!!!! RACIST!!!! RACIST!!!!
"Yes, Virginia, there are Black birthers. While I’m not suggesting they’re in the majority, they still constitute an overlooked demographic in this population."

In other words....3 and a half people.

Yea, i'm worried about those hoardes of black birthers.

Sigh. Ok guys. After being on this particular forum for a few weeks now, I noticed all the time that lot of you use the Strawman Argument that you claim liberals always say "If you don't like Barack Obama you're a racist" or claiming liberals always say "If you don't agree with me you're a racist". Never read that on this site once. I think its a little rediculous but then again this is the internet and I'm sure most of you troll for the heck of it.

Now what I find more surprising on the internet is that once a black person points out something that is clearly racist, a bunch of people start yelling "See, he's pulling the race card". I actually believe that is pulling the race card. So what are people suppose to say when someone says something that is clearly racist or racially derogatory?

Would it make you happier if we said, "Gee, I'm sad that you feel that way about a particular race. Being that this is America and all, I respect your right to free speech even if it is misguided at best. What can I do to prove to you that we are not all like that?" Is that better? Would that make you feel better about the stuff you spout on anonymously on the Internet about?

Good luck.


You're really hoping that people will forget previous posts that you've made or don't know how to use the search feature- aren't you?

LOL...really?? Trust me, you have no idea. You aren't prepared mentally to walk in these shoes for even an hour, let alone a lifetime. This is something that you'd have to be born into...you're nuts if you think otherwise.

Can you elaborate on what you meant about not being prepared to walk in your shoes? Maybe you meant you have fallen arches or plantar fasciitis?

Hey pal: you make it WAY too friggin' easy

That last sentence is EXACTLY what they want us (meaning black people) to say. And it's exactly what i'm NOT going to say. Ever.

You're repeating a lame joke that you made before. And it's still just as stale as it was when you said it the first time.

Now again, point out to me where i claimed to be a victim of racism and said that i was under the heel of the evil white man.

I just did and you are making yet another lame attempt to deflect and dismiss it.

But....I'll bite:
So then what did you mean by "walking in these shoes" in those posts?

LOL....that's funny. One brownie for you.

I'm not unhappy with my life, and i don't fear the "evil white man," so that means that i might not even be black. Cuz you know, all of our lives are miserable.
