Most of us know you and never worry about your race, but then I don't think a false attempt by you to convince us that you aren't a leaner will work.

I never let a chance to tell people how much I don't like his policies but they still call me racist because I don't like them.
Again, Roy, give us a specific example of someone here calling you a "racist" when you objected to one of Obama's policies.

No need since I share the same branch of the faith. There's no need to talk to him about something that we profess. So for me, it was somewhat amusing to see those comments in an article about "the stoning of Carson."

She's not a Republican and it isn't because blacks are a monolith, it's because she is a liberal, who does believe that we should all have healthcare, but does not agree with the way he went about it. I know black republicans here in Texas...some of them are my friends. None of this is shocking to me and I do not attack people for stating their opinion.
But you surely as all hell attack me for stating my opinion of Obama policies. Why is that?

Give us a specific example of you being labeled a "racist" for objecting to Obama's policies. Given how many threads in which you criticize Obama, this should be easy.

What in the hell does this have to do with what I posted?

I don't care about what this gentleman has said. I was reading this thread and noticed that some of your comrades had started playing the race card game as you folks inevitably do when you finally unearth a minority group member who claims to be a Republican.
Since you don't care what the writer said why are you so excited about trying to tear him down? You need a good step back and look in the mirror session.

I have never attacked anyone for stating their opinion of Obama's policies. If someone lies, I point it out, but that isn't an attack.

As far as I can tell, nobody on the left is paying much attention to this at all. The only place I have ever heard about this guy is from right wingers on this forum.

You should have heard about him outside of all the political nonsense. His medical work is known all over the world.
