My party, unfortunately, is the bastion of those people -- not all of them, but most of them -- who are still basing their positions on race. Let me just be candid: My party is full of racists, and the real reason a considerable portion of my party wants President Obama out of the White House has nothing to do with the content of his character, nothing to do with his competence as commander-in-chief and president, and everything to do with the color of his skin, and that's despicable.
Col. Wilkerson may be one of the few Republicans willing to allude openly to the elephant (heh) in the room, but is this really news to anyone, regardless of political loyalty? We know this. All the same, bravo to Wilkerson for being willing to say it - no doubt he was prompted, as an officer and a gentleman, by a laudable sense of loyalty and decency.

When the policies of the one you support are so bad the deflection technique of avoiding discussing those policies comes into play. Instead lets play the race card.
The irony going over the head of the race card players is what's funny to me. Grouping people and making false claims is only bad when they do it.
It's always about policy and big government is a failure. Wake up!
It's so obvious that this is the case. All of the not so subtle dog whistles that are aimed at reaching the birthers and other radicals. Even Romney's idiot surrogate Sununu makes that comment of why Colin Powell endorsed Romney.

So racial relations are getting worse under the divider in chief, fact is just reading this board the last few days has shown me that, but it is not a good sign at all for the country as a whole.

Why does anyone even pay any attention to this kind of gossipy crap?
Talk about stereotypes. And it never ends.
All Republicans are racist and all Democrats are ivory tower intellectual elitists.
I am so sick of this silliness.
Your political affiliation is not a litmus test for either your IQ or your prejudices.
Stop the madness. I guess we should all just be registered Independents/Unaffiliated and then maybe that would "prove" there are no racists or intellectual elitists in this country.
You tell me, it is not me saying that the race problems have increased in the last 4 years, I am just pointing out that racial problems have increased the longer he has been President.
