In that case it should be a simple matter for you to produce numerous posts to contradict it.

The hypocrisy of the left is forever on display.

If you compare Obama to a monkey, it is racist but it is OK to compare Reagan to a monkey.

From the thread on Reagan, "Well, he did embrace evolution. I never figured out which one was Bonzo.

If ANY criticism of Obama is said, it is racist.

If one is so dim witted as to not know the controversy and history of comparing Black People to monkeys versus an artist's caricature of someone, they shouldn't post.

Did your post have anything to do with race? Hence I think it is logical to ask about what you perceive Obama's race to be. And your response doesn't point to a race either. It points at his ancestry and ultimately leading to a person of mixed race. If he can be "black", he can be "white" too. No?

Wrong. The poster who made the original has the responsibility to back up his claim.

If one is so dim witted NOT to know that when someone criticizes Obama he is called a racist shouldn't post.

If what you say is true then it is you who are the racist to believe every criticism of Obama is because he is black.

Duh! Why in the world do you think I responded to your question of what race he is.

He is half white and half black which makes him as much white as black.

I would call that mixed race. What would you call him?.

Human.

And unlike you, I would prefer to stick with it. As for your state of mind, you say this: "he is half white and half black which makes him as much white as black"

Immediately following a post where you said this...
