Keep reading those far left blogs and posting links to what you read so I can know what causes you to think like you do. That blog isn't written by black people is it?

Not necessarily, but it's a good bet. I notice you don't say "Democratic policies".
Here are the possibilities (not personal here):
* You are a racist.
* You don't like dark people.
* You believe caucasians (except democratic ones) should rule.
* You are concerned that the minority population is growing.
* Mouthy racial minorities just tick you off.
* People have just "forgotten their place".

Here are some other reasons to disagree with Obama (or maybe Democrats):
* You believe in money over democracy.
* You are a plutocrat or a corporate oligarchist.
* You are a Fox News dupe.
* You are a fascist.
* You are Republican "at all costs".

Your posts are really short on naming these policies that you "disagree with". Here's an idea - name some policies and why you disagree with them.
I wish I had found this post yesterday when I had time to deal with you.

Oh well, how about Obamacare? Can I be against it and not be racist?

How about the method he used to get rid of DADT? Was that racist and does that make me racist?

How about the fact that I do believe that the man is pushing far left policies too often?

How about what he did last Friday concerning Obamanesty? I guess that is surely racist to not agree with.

If Obama believes so heavily in democracy why is he trying so hard to destroy our Constitution? Well of course you don't think he is although he throws so much of it out concerning his policies?

Yep, I am surely racist because I could go on like this about his policies the rest of the afternoon. Does it make me racist to believe that he wants to destroy the 2nd Amendment? If so I was racist about Clinton, then

^^ Not calling you a racist. The post is aimed at anyone who might fit the shoe.
The first group of statements is tongue-in-cheek - maybe too subtle.
The second group illiustrates common reasons, other than racism, for people to oppose Obama.

Besides Reagan gave amnesty to three million undocumented people, without concern to legality. did you complain about that?

Reagan also wanted to fine employers found using illegals $10k per head and close the borders post-amnesty. Did you complain when the Democrat Congress prevented him from doing this?

You're not racist for disagreeing with his policies.

No such thing as "reverse racism"...Racism is racism.

People should stop thinking only whites are racist.


Good day, sir.

I did complain about that but it was Congress that passed the law and Reagan signed it. Too many of Obama's things that I disagree with were things he did with EOs and those are done to get around Congress. Will you ever see that Congress passing laws is not the same thing as signing those laws and that writing EOs is not the same thing as Congress doing something.

Reagan did not give that amnesty to all those people. Congress did it.

No. You are a racist when you post irrelevant and inflammatory topics such as this one.

I didn't think this was difficult to understand, but then again this comes up a lot. I'm black and I think a lot of people dislike Obama based on his skin color. However, I think those people are in a minority. Put it this way:

- Asking for his birth certificate is racist. When one says this, it means that one is indirectly referring to the color of his skin. Also all other presidents were not subject to this. They were all white.

- Calling him a monkey with no other context is racist. Monkey has long been a derogatory term used to describe blacks.

Now, I guess there are different levels of racism. Doing the above things doesn't make you as bad as the KKK, but by definition you are racist because you are making these comments based on skin color.
