"what is the difference between "disliking" someone based on their race and being a bigot/racist?" Eh? Are we talking about the same thing? The one who posted in a ghetto style of English was using it to express how he feels about Barack Obama, the President (and probably the whole Administration), not Barack Obama, the black man.
A regional or social variety of a language distinguished by pronunciation, grammar, or vocabulary, especially a variety of speech differing from the standard literary language or speech pattern of the culture in which it exists: Cockney is a dialect of English.
A variety of language that with other varieties constitutes a single language of which no single variety is standard: the dialects of Ancient Greek.

I don't get embarrassed when I fart in a store aisle but it does embarrass me to see leaders like those people acting like they do.
Sorry to hear that, roy. Embarrassment is an emotion. You'll find that emotionally tinged political views are often lacking in reason. This is why I dismiss the opinions of the "angry" people, be they tea partiers or pro-illegals.

Not embarrassed by a fart, eh? LOL......me, neither. But then we're both in our 70's and we're expected to fart more.
Truth-be-told, I'm also embarrassed by a POTUS who bows to country leaders--or even a city mayor--and apologizes for everything he thinks America has done wrong over the years. The way he kissed butt with Calderone. The way he treated the Israeli Prime Minister. The list goes on and on.
He has done more to destroy national pride than any President in the past century.

He has certainly tried to destroy national pride, at least. I would really like to give him a chance but he just never earns one,
