it like when white people disagree with obamas policies, they get labeled racists even though those same white people disagreed with carter and clinton who had similar policies.

the labeling of people as racists or bigots is a tool of the activists who want to make everyone think the same way.
Exactly!

the problem is "some" people complain about Obama riding on Air Force One, golfing or living in the WH.

The hypocrisy is so obvious why wouldn't some believe it's racially motivated?

It couldn't be politically motivated? You know like how the Democrats complain about the GOP and vice versa? The GOP never complained about a white Democrat in the White House?

Because there's nothing inherently racist about any of those things...

Gold is viewed as a white mans sport, and air force one and the White House are presidential. I've also never really heard complaints about that which weren't clearly politically motivated. And the golf jokes are just lazy, not racial or even political.

Are there people who don't like Obama for his race? Sure, but not nearly as many as some would have you believe.

and you dont think the left complained about bush and some of the things he did, like take working vacations at his ranch, or things that clinton did like take working vacations at marthas vineyard? these things are not about race, they are about responsibility. the race card, and now the bigot card, has been way overplayed by the left to the point where real racism, and real bigotry are all but ignored.

This is what is wrong with being a bigot. Being a bigot often means flat out hatred of a group. It is judging everyone based on the actions from the very worst within that group. It gives extra scrutiny to those individuals who did not deserve it.

Yep never occurred to you whiners that people don't like what Obama stands for. Nah@! Everytihng is racism to you. What a sad outlook on life people like you have. You can't think past your skin color.. Hey, newsflash. there's more to life than skin color but if you want to live in such a close minded world so be it.

Complaining about a president flying on Air Force One or living in the WH after being elected?

No... that isnt politaclly motivated. Its delusional hatred that is motivated by more than politics.

Why? What difference does it make that those comments were made after Obama was elected? Are you actually saying that Bush and other Republican presidents weren't criticized while in the White House by the Democrats? Are you actually saying that no one in the GOP criticized a white Democrat president in the White House? I suggest you put your race card back in your wallet. The majority of the right don't object to Obama base on his race. They do so because of his politics. I am so sick of this race baiting by the left that I could puke!
