Actually, I'm talking in general when it comes to the internet. I've been on this particular sub forum for a few weeks now and read countless threads here. Never saw any come out and say "If you disagree with Obama you are a racist" in so many words. I have however, see people call other people racist when it comes to the whole Birther thing. Usually I don't consider that disagreeing with Obama, but moreso Character assassination. So if you want to say that liberals always say "If you think Obama is not a natural born citizen then you are racist" you would have a valid argument. I did see someone call the OP in here an Uncle Tom which was uncalled for.

Being black isn't the problem. The problem is he's a neo-socialist Dhimmicrat liberal who hates America and is doing his damnest to make us as weak (from cradle to grave dependency on the government), irrelevant, and impotent as Europe. This is the kind of change America doesn't need, and certainly didn't vote for. America used to be great, but progressives are convinced that whatever's not broken needs fixing via more band-aid legislation, Nanny States, Big Government, and Orwellian thought control laws and social pressure designed to suppress the diversity of ideas, open debate, and intelligent discourse.

The longer Obama stays in office, the more Dubya is vindicated. How horrifying that must be for them.

White folks are getting tired of being called racist whenever the other side can't come up with answers to issues or questions concerning this man or if they dislike his policies!! Did we not have people asking about Bush's grades? His military service? Dan Rather lost his gig trying to fake Bush's service record! Was that racist??? No! It was stupid! If Bush was black, would it be racist then? NO!

AND THESE ARE WHITE PEOPLE THAT VOTED FOR HIM!!!

I honestly believe that many would rather have a white guy they can criticize without the friggin' race card being played! I think there's a lot of buyer remorse out there.

We are so polarized right now! I've never seen it this bad in my life time.

Obama has blown it for the bruthas...
He hasn't blown it for PM Dawn.

There were so many better blacks than this one. He doesn't act like any black person I have known in my life .
I know he makes financially hurtful decisions but it is stinging that he disregards traditions American Presidents have , like going to Church. He is never seen hugging his wife or children . His childish name calling is getting worse. Other than his wife he has no family . This and many more are so odd.

If America got a "George Jefferson" like character . It would be more settling . Instead we got E.T.

Politicians always seem to try to make it about inequity. They choose the race card all the time, but I believe they will do that less now that the latino poulation is the new minority. And also because we as a people, all races, religions, ideals... can see through most of their manipulative "rhetoric"

not necessarily, however it does mean that any future minority candidate will be scrutinized by the public before they decide whether or not to vote for them.

Yea, it's far more polarized now than it was in 1950.

I don't give a damn about how polarized things are.

YES! I would vote for those 2 guys in a second. I like both of them, but REALLY like West.
