However, that is not representative of the majority of the loudest voices that were blasting President Bush.

The fact that you couldn't even acknowledge my comment is a part of the problem.

The people who do not like President Obama are entitled to their opinion, however, when they stand by (or stand side-by-side) and allow the blatant racists to be the most vocal among them they deserve the label of "bigots."

It was people like yourself who didn't quash the birther nonsense or the chimpanzee emails, etc. Silence is approval.

So you basically see nothing wrong in calling a man a monkey because of his skin color.

I have to believe it is a small minority that disapproves of President Obama because of race. Most don't like his radical leftist views. But you go ahead and ignore the evidence I linked to in my previous post and continue to view everything as being racist.

Do you know yesterday I was dancing to Sugar Pie Honey Bunch with an eight year old who has a black father and a white mother. We were having fun and laughing. I am glad she doesn't think I hate her, because I love her more than anything.

Yet you justify their actions.

Based on this post you obviously did not read my posts very well because I did not state that I thought that you were racist. I stated that people like yourself (meaning those who simply do not like President Obama's policies) are grouped together with the bigots generally because you stand by and let their bigoted voices be the loudest and therefore the most representative...just look at the first Tea Party rallies. The racist signage became symbolic of that movement because the non-bigots allowed that to be their voice. So anyone (regardless of the reasoning) who disliked President Obama became "friend" and how you can't see that is beyond me.

And as for that littlle girl, how do you think she will feel if one day she realizes that you went to Tea Party rallies and held up signs that depicted President Obama as a witchdoctor with a bone through his nose or calling him a lying African, etc....or if you sided with people who did?

Some African American Republicans remind me of the historical figure, John Patrick O'Riley. He was an Irish immigrant who joined the American army only to defect and join Mexico against America, and then Mexico surrenders. He was left with out a homeland. The Black conservatives I'm referring to are classless. Instead of focusing on the virtues of being a Republican, they bash black Democrats. Where did they learn this? White Republicans don't disparage white Democrats with language intended to embarrass them.

They epitomize the very worst of politics. Instead of simply saying they made an informed choice to be a republican, they have to disparage the choice of others. Perhaps the taunts of being an Uncle Tom are too much for them. They should have thicker skin. The civil rights era pictures and footage of black people ignoring angry whites taunting them should be an inspiration to them instead of an embarrassment.

Seems most blacks here on City data love the dems who represent the welfare socialist state. Goes to show just how rooted the democrats have them entangled into their way of thinking.. they can't think any differently.

Sad they can't make the move into a better way. The kind that brings dignity .

Are they satisfied with the slums and ghettos for their people? They can't even fathom the republicans are not the enemy. The democrats have a long long history of racism keeping the blacks in their place and the democrats keep bringing up their skin color like it is a disease.. that is really disgusting to me!!!

I saw Biden jumping around like a clown in front of he NAACP and they ate it up.. sickening.. Biden doesn't even want to be called blue collar and then acts like he is some kind of preacher and offers nothing as far as jobs in the reality of things.

Blacks are the forgotten in these bad times.. no one would believe we have a black president because Obama is not a black president.. he was brought up in a white family. So how can he relate to blacks.. no more than Joe Biden.

So are Blacks not Americans now? We are all the same people...AMERICANS! The problem is that people who think as you do don't view Black Americans as being Americans just like you. Voting for Republicans would change nothing if those Republicans tend to think as you do.
