Lately I have seen more and more black people who don'y agree with Obama and I feel awful for them. Many Obama supporters blame every one who is against Obama's political views, to be a racist.

I don't care anymore to be called a racist since I know I'm not a racist and it says more about the people saying it...it shows they can't win with normal discussions but have to put a label on a person they disagree with..., but for black people now to be called racists aswell, seems to make their cause to fight racism in the previous years, look all done for nothing if the word is misused by stupid brainless people.

Maybe if NeoCons weren't so hypocritical....you know letting President Bush max out this country's credit card w/o a peep and as soon as Obama is sworn in throw tantrums that he is spending too much you wouldn't be perceived as racist because the only thing that is apparently differen between the two at the moment is the color of skin.

The dems and the liberal media are going to call people racist who disagree with their liberal agenda. Of course we all know that whites aren't racist against blacks--about 99% of us anyway. This has become a tool that the liberal dems use to make sure that blacks remain on their white liberal plantation. In other words, the dems insist on a lock on the black vote because they can't win elections without it. They desperately want to keep racism alive. It's time for people in conservative white media to stand up and say enough of these idiotic racism charges. Enough of clowns like Rev. JJ, big AL and a host of other white libs in the media too many to name. Racism is an industry and a political tool. But look what happened to Glen Beck when he brought charges of racism against Obama. All hell broke lose in the media and sponsers jumped ship. This is the one subject that even white conservative radio host are afraid to touch for fear of losing their jobs. What needs to be talked about is how the black slaves on the white liberal planation are now enjoying a 70% illegetimacy rate, 50% high school drop out rate, and a crime rate that 8.3 times higher than white crime. We need to have honest discussions about all of this, but somehow the country is in a state of paranoia when talking about negative things in the black community.

Default If we disagree with Obama we are called racists...how are black people called who disagree with Obama?

No one can legitimately call you a racist if you dont say or do racist things.

If someone erroneously labels something you've said or done "racist", you can brush it off, or you can ask or otherwise try to determine what he might mean, explain what you meant, listen to his reason, and go from there.

Don't really care about illegitimacy rates especially with a divorce rate of over 50% in this country.The other two statistics are shameful and should be addressed but Republicans don't want to have that talk. There is a cause and effect rationale that most want to steer clear of, for instance that White Men have had a clear 400 year advantage in creating wealth for themselves?There have been MANY obstacles for blacks in this country's history to succeed and socioeconomic conditions are more than likely the anchor for many of the problems with education being key to turning things around. Most Progressive's ideas(better schools,higher wages,affordable health care, affordable higher ed./vocational training, affordable housing) and looking for policy changes w/in gov't sounds more attractive then NeoCon ideas of work till you drop,then work some more, if you THINK about a resting you're lazy bum, never complain be happy you have a job, you don't need a union to look out for your best interest the company will, don't ever look to the gov't for a dime of assistance....

One thing I find puzzling is you harp on people like Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton but want blacks to listen to Rush Limbaugh and Glenn Beck?Are you serious? They are just as divisive as the aforementioned.Get some real Conservative minds and then state your position.
