You'd have to ask the CBC.

George Zimmerman is white but Barack Obama is black. Isn't it amusing how the liberal mind works?

Typical liberal lose the debate on its merits and immediately respond with racism accusations. Are some people opposed to Obama because of race? Most likely. However there are people who support him simply because he is Black. It cuts both ways.

All white people are racist.

However I will say this to any black person reading this

NEVER EVER-EVER CALL A WHITE PERSON RACIST

As true as it might be, you will never win that conversation. Because it deals with motive and intentions, which are largely a matter of guesswork on your part, instead of words and actions, which are not. White people know this and derail conversations about their words and actions into those about their inner state, which they know you can never win.

So you get the "Some of my friends are black" etc

Calling them racist is letting them off easy.

It's always best to keep on What They Did and keep it on that. When a thief takes your money you run after him not to tell him he is a thief but to get your money back.

Now back to Obama and when you see the what white people have DID and SAID about this guy, then it's racism.

Maybe you have finally got around to looking at those images of Tea Party protesters coming to rallies with signs portraying the President as an African witch doctor ?



Or maybe somebody informed you of the racist e-mails lately, like those portraying the white house lawn covered in watermelons



Or white people likening Michelle Obama to an ape ?

SCGOP Activist Posts Remark Disparaging First Lady :: :: FITSNewsFITSNews

Or white people picturing the President as a pair of “spook eyes” against a black background ?



Republican Staffer E-Mails Obama 'Spook' Photo | Pith in the Wind

Or the Tea Party candidate sent e-mails picturing the President dressed as a pimp and featuring a group of African tribesman performing a traditional dance ?

Tea Party NY Gov Candidate’s E-Mails Exposed: Racism, Porn, Bestiality | TPMMuckraker

Or maybe you heard of them guys FreeRepublic.com who called the President’s daughter, Malia, “typical ghetto trash,” and a “whore” whose mother likes to entertain her by “making monkey sounds ?”

Malia Obama called 'ghetto street trash' on Free Republic thread

But no one is racist here. Yeah ?

Debating with guys like you is a bit like fighting Zombies, no mater how many you smack down, they still keep coming.

Black people have been voting for white people for years. We have voted for white Presidential candidates, white Governors, and white Congressional candidates time and time again, seeing as how we are often given very little in the way of a choice. So it’s not like black folks refuse to vote for white people.

On the other hand, for a white voter to say race matters to their vote, and then to vote for the white candidate and against the person of color, is almost by definition about something else. It certainly can’t be due to excitement at the prospect of electing the first white President, or breaking with tradition, since you’ve had forty-three white guys in a row. And it’s not likely to be about the desire to vote for someone who can relate to your “struggles” as white people.

For dominant group members to engage in racial bonding only makes sense as a way to maintain dominance. It can’t be about “getting a piece of the pie,” since such persons already have access to it, and pieces galore; rather, it has to be about preventing others from getting theirs, from taking parts of the pie to which the dominant group had come to feel entitled.

Black and brown bonding, on the other hand, is about gaining access, securing a spot, and collectively lifting up members of subordinated communities to a place where they can compete as equals with those who have always been in charge. There is nothing supremacist or racist about that at all

Don't think he has done one freaking thing to improve this economy in any way. No unity, as he promised, more division and excuses, very old. And this sure is no Hope n' Change, as he promised.

Hate his policies, attitude, and him being so arrogant, mostly when people disagree with him. I can give a hoot about his color, infact, if he were green, or purple, i would stay feel the same way. No racist, just someone who wants to see the Country get back on track, stop using the excuse racist, so many are plain sick of it.

Why is it that blacks can say anything they want about a candidate, and that is not considered racist, Bull?
You see this is all the Dimocratic party has label people who disagree with their Socialist Agenda racists.If you have any beliefs other than theirs they Ayer out their name calling like bullies on a playground.... RWNJ,TEABAGGERS,UNCLE TOMS,HILLBILLIES....Could this be seen as cyber bulllying ?

Can I assume that you are a big supporter of Clarence Thomas then?
