Yes, when you refer to the POTUS as Bamma, Bammy, Barack HUSSEIN Obama...you aren't just disagreeing with his policies.
Of course you won't admit to being a racist.

Yes, that is what happens during recessions. Did you expect a recession to have a different outcome?

Bush actually deserves more of the blame since he was the one that encouraged banks to abandon their standards and lure huge numbers of blacks and Hispanics into taking on home mortgages they had no hope of paying back.

Obama might dream of ramping up affirmative action to extreme degrees and otherwise arranging the economy to produce equal outcomes for non-Asian minorities but it just isn't within his power. America is not governed by the principles of the Trinity United Church of Christ. At least not yet.

Why does this defense work with financial definition hair splitting, but when the talk of assault rifles, clips and magazines come up the libbies all say "oh you know what I mean!"
