REPUBLICANS, how do you feel about other Whites who say that you are being "racist" towards Barack Obama ?
I see it quite often here daily. There are actually more Whites who say
that Obama is being attacked because he is a Black Male. This is on
the cable news, and othe media and radio outlets. As a matter of fact, you had that guy come right out on Saturday Night Live, and call
the entire Western half of Pennsylvania a raicist place. And even if he
was Jewish, it does not matter. Some of you Conservatives think that
it was the Jews who got him into office. But anyway. How do you
feel about that, when you hear other Whites, who are non Democrats,
say that you are against Obama because he is Black ? A lot of this is
coming from Independents, and low level Republicans. You know, like ones you have in your neighborhood who come out and say yes.
It is true, there are a lot of us, who do not like Obama. They feel like
the Blacks are taking over, along with other minorities, so the WPS
is fighting back to bring him down. How do you feel about that. And
be honest now..............

You know, I grew up in a house... a family full of Democrats. My whole life I have been surrounded by Dems. As a kid, I had a black friend, his name was John. I have had him as a friend for 30+ years now. As a kid, my whole family kept telling me about how blacks were different than whites... they all stuck together... BS like that. They never called John by his name, they all called him "that black kid". I ignored them because to me, John was always John.
When Obama was elected, my family was all happy. (I am an independent). When I told them there were many thing about him I was unhappy with, they all told me I was against him because he was black, and called me racist. Those same people who kept telling me blacks weren't the same, were all of a sudden throwing that word at me because I wasn't happy about a socialist being in office.
I don't care who calls me a racist. Most of the time, I think they throw those words out there because it stops the conversation being about facts, and turns it into opinions.

1st I know I am not a racist
2nd I know that Obama policies are bad for America or at least a Capitalistic America.
3. People who call other people names are the ones with issues not me.
4. I have been called worse
5. Those who disagree with you and don't have the facts like to use slurs innuendo's and off color remarks to further prover their own ignorance.
6. Many of those calling other people racist -have their minds already made up and don't want to be confused with facts and truth.
7. It wasn't "a race" that got Obama elected it was several facts, the media hated Bush so they wanted "change" the Libs hated Bush so they wanted "change" some I will admit voted for Obama because he was black and they thought that would be cool. (sorry wrong policies or me). Also they had to have been some who wouldn't vote for any black any party that is just reality.
8. Why does the NAACP evict Republicans from leadership?
9. When one has a fundamental core of values one isn't offended my ignorant remarks because the truth is in oneself not what others think about you. If you let go of your principles for popularity then you give into peer pressure and betray your core values Like Sen Speculater (-:.
but if you can prove my core values to be false then I would have to reevaluate my position while some libs shun the truth for ideology.
10. Like Ted Kennedy always putting thorough legislation for equal rights yet until late in his career did he have a black man high in his office. Did he ever have a Latino?
11. A point when others are pointing their finger at you--they have one at you one at God and three pointing back to THEMselves.
Run for office I might vote for you.

Negroes had been abusing the race card for goodbye, that even though race was once a actual difficulty no one could pay awareness to it any longer. Don't disregard that Barry Soetoro(Barack Hussein Obama) is caucasian from his mom's facet. That makes him "Halfrican-american". Here is a few well advocate.....Grow up & get with it fella.

I think I better than anyone know my reasons for objecting to Obama and that any criticism regarding my "racism" falls off of me like water off of a duck's back.
Why exactly is anybody troubled by being considered racist?
If criticism deflects me away from the conclusions I have drawn through experience and discernment then I am weak minded indeed.
So some may call me racist...my answer is "so what?"
Who are they that their opinion matters?

I see it as a lack of defense for their "king", so they pull the race card. By the way, by Republicans, you mean white people, right? Guess what? Republicans come in all races. Give up the tired race card. You are one of those people that pull the race card so much that it is like crying wolf. No one is listening. The race card is a crutch. You keep racism alive by constantly attacking white people. You, my friend, are the racist.

There are two-schools of current GOP Racism.
Those that defend themselves by saying..."I have a right to be whatever I choose to be", which essentially says, "I have a right to be a racist" but they completely fail to see that opposing a policy for purely "racist" reasons, eliminates any logical debate on an issue. (Somehow, this "reasoning" makes sense to them.)
Or they'll hide behind their politics and say, "Liberals only call us racists because we don't support the President and when they run out of facts, they turn to name-calling". But, the funny part here, is that the people who are yelling and screaming the most are the people who lack any facts to support their opposition.
Know the enemy of America...the enemy are those who oppose the idea of tolerance and equality under the guise of political ideology!

You are right. If Hillary had been elected you would be attacking her because of her socialist ideas.
Or would that be because she is a female democrat?
The fact of the matter is that you CON birthers/birchers are simply anti-socialist the same way Hitler was: because you are corporatist fascist. I think you need to do a little more introspection before you ask such stupid questions.
You think that racism/sexism is all over (because we elected a black president and had a couple of other female major contenders: Hillary for pres and Phailin' for vice) and therefore it is open season on all of that right?

I dont care if I am called a racist. We are are a little racist, since I know that racism is natural

Obama supporters call you "racist" when they run out of facts. That's why most of them call you "racist" right away, because they have none.

Seeing as you assume that ALL Republicans are white, I'd have to say that you, my friend, are the racist.
