Why is it "Racist" to speak out about Obama's policies, but not Allen West's? (regular, extremist)

I haven't seen many examples of people being called racist for disagreeing with Obama's policies. The problem is, many republicans stray from policy, and into broad and obviously untrue attacks on black people in general, or into attacking Obama on openly racist terms (eg. Donald Trump, Rush Limbaugh, Newt Gingrich, Dinesh D'Souza, John Derbyshire, Sean Hannity, Neil Boortz, Herman Cain, Allen West, Joe Walsh, Rick Santorum, Steve King, Ann Coulter, Michelle Malkin, Andrew Breitbart...really, I could go on for a while). The fact is, the split between black people and the GOP began long before Obama was born, and republicans in general (there are exceptions) still have not figured out how to talk about black people without insulting them, by saying that we love welfare, or we're brainwashed plantation slaves, or some such.
WTF are you talking about??? The Republicans don't treat people as "groups". In our party, everyone is equal! We don't say we're going to do "this" for "that" minority, etc. We're ALL equal and do with that what you will!! Don't expect us to cater to any minority, that's NOT what we're about!
I said in a previous post IN THIS FREAKIN' THREAD that he's not an Uncle Tom based on his political beliefs, but because of his actions. Damn.
Find the thread where i called Herman Cain, Condi Rice, Colin Powell, J.C. Watts, Thomas Sowell, or Michael Steele an Uncle Tom. Go ahead. Have a good time searching despite the fact that you won't find it.
There is a specific reason that i single out Allen West. If you're too goddamn lazy to read the reason i stated, then that's your problem. I tried.
And NO...it's not racist to call another black an Uncle Tom. Especially when he deserves it. Besides, that's not a conversation that i need to be having with you (unless you're black).
doesnt matter, his actions are also his beliefs. hence the reason he is a black republican.
you two just need to look back to the posts in 2008 and 2009 when MANY of us conservatives were blatantly blasted as being racist because we were against the policies that obama laid out. many is the time on this very board that i had to defend myself against charges of racism because i oppose obamas policies on the basis that they are far too progressive for this country.
After following this site for a number of years, on one hand it's entertaining, on the other depressing. Whenever Obama is attacked on an issue, first liberals try defending the issue rationally. When they realize they have nothing really to support his issues based on reason, they end up resorting to "you're racist" and storm off in a snit.
Yet we have Allen West. A man of integrity, that actually tells the truth that attacks both parties policies where applicable. Someone that doesn't just pander to the crowd and chant mindless slogans (Hope and Change anyone?). Someone that can actually have an intelligent conversation without a teleprompter. Yet whenever they disagree with his message, liberals attack him in the most vile, disgusting terms imaginable. And never even try to discuss his policies.
Why is it that the most vile racists on this site seem to be of a liberal bent? Why are they unable to debate in a reasonable, polite manner, without resorting to racist name calling, best left in the 1950s? When will liberals actually judge a man by the content of his character, and leave his race out of it?
It is not racist to argue against President Obama's policies, it is racist to make racist comments.
FYI, I have no idea which site you are speaking of, but when it comes to racist threads and posts here the righties lead the field by a country mile, and saying otherwise only reflects back on yourself, the readers here know who does what here. Jeeez
Apsolutely 100% correct. They make these claims but when some of us have asked for them to prove it, should be easy since they say it happens all the time, they Never can. Seems like they forget that everything posted here is on record, I guess pawns don't need facts, only rhetoric.

There is a fundamental difference between these various types of racism. Racial bias on the part of black folks, even the most vicious and unhinged bigotry on ourr part, is pretty impotent.
Racism is when you can deny people jobs, housing, health care, decent educations, or their physical freedom via the justice system, thereby wrecking their lives. And there are virtually no black folks or liberals who can do any of that.
In every generation whites have hyped fears of black anger and the supposed desire of blacks to exact revenge on whites. From fears about slave rebellions, to claims that integration would lead black children to knife white children in the hallways and rape white girls, to paranoia about Obama’s secret plan for “white slavery,” the cult of white victimhood has long had its charter members.
Sadly, nowadays the cult has the attention of the media and a white public already anxious about changing demographics, the presence of a black president and economic insecurity.

Blacks who pretty much agree with whites – or, even worse, play to their stereotypes – will have a much easier time getting on television than those who do not. So even though you see black faces on television, it is still pretty much the World According to White People.

Because racism have never been reasonable and polite and it has always involved name calling.
I will show white people my humanity when you show me yours
