I'm denying that the colour of his skin has anything at all to do with the polarization.

You on the other hand are using race baiting as a tactic to dismiss that fact.

That meme has been used so often it doesn't even register anymore.

Answer me this then....

Those SAME people who voted for him suddenly realized he was Black and now are upset by that?

Without a majority of White people, he never could have been elected.

Actually, he is just as "white" as he is "black". I suggest you suspend your race-baiting tactics until they are appropriate, which is, well..... NEVER!

I am not one to race-bait, but trying to deny that there is a significant portion of the white electorate that are mad as hell that a black man is leading the nation is beyond naive. There are people alive today who were born at a time when blacks were still being persecuted in many parts of the country. Turning a blind eye to that fact does not change the fact. Mind you, I don't think that it is the number one reason as to why Obama is so polarizing, but it is definitely still an issue...

How large is a "significant portion"?

It's quite obvious that a more significant portion of Whites voted for Obama because it would be mathematically impossible for him to have won without them.

If I showed you a video of some clueless Black people waiting in line in Detroit to get their "Obama Money".......would that be representative of a "significant portion" of the Black populace?

Since a rather significant portion of Whites obviously voted for him, I doubt that those SAME people suddenly woke up and realized Obama is Black therefore causing them to be polarized against him now. It's his POLICIES that caused that and NOT the colour of his skin.

This is blissful cluelessness if I've ever seen it.

Of course, the Lefties were just SO kind and not "sourpuss'" when he was President...right?

If you are no one to race bait, then I urge you to STOP RACE BAIING. This is not a difficult concept to get your brain around.

If you aren't, don't, or in your case, if your aren't, then stop.

Obama would be as polarizing or more if her were pure white instead of only half white, because people are charitable to him in defference to his racial makup, and the instant calls of "racism" that ariss when you criticize even the foulest black (such as "No Justice, no Peace" Waters).

I know I certainnly would be more blunt and direct in my criticism if this POS was 100% white. As it is, I tone it down quite a bit - believe it or not.
