I've noticed Some people add that when saying they don't like Obama or his politics, I've never heard anyone say they don't like Romney, Bush, Clinton etc and add " and it has nothing to do with them being white"

Why do you suppose SOME people feel they need to add "Nothing to do with being black" when talking of their displeasure toward Obama?

    Because too many turn it into a race thing just because someone doesn't like his politics. I've seen plenty of people disagree with something he does and the next post will be..."You're a racist!" (IE, "Obama has no right to take credit for Osama's death. He didn't pull the trigger." "YOU'RE A RACIST!") WTH does disagreeing with his politics have to do with racism? So some have begun to feel like they have to add the "And it's not because he's black" to keep from being labeled as such.

    If you support mass immigration and “assimilation” for all White countries and ONLY White countries, you are an anti-White.

    If you say the continued existence of White children is “irrelevant” and should not be defended from policies that will lead to their extinction as a group, you are an anti-White.

    If you insist White people are not allowed to have their own countries and self determination like non-Whites have in non-White countries, you are an anti-White.

    They themselves might have issues with Obama that have nothing to do with his skin colour, but it is abundantly clear that many on this site do have a problem that Obama is black. You need only read some of the political comments to know that they are nothing more than thinly veiled racism.

    I'm not saying everyone who opposes Obama is a racist, but I would defy anyone to say that Obama being of mixed race is not a significant factor in many peoples negative perception of him, especially amongst many right wing supporters in America. To say otherwise is burying your head in the sand.

    You also have to consider the fact many black people in this country are Christian, and have very strong ties to family and church. With that being the case, he's in de4ep trouble now since he's losing the black vote as well.

    "William Owens, Sr. is founder and president of the Coalition of African-American Pastors, a group whose goal is to promote and support Christ-centered values in the culture. The CAAP is appalled that radical homosexual activists have managed to hijack the civil rights movement by linking sexual diversity to the historic fight for civil rights by black Americans. What those activists have done, says Owens, is "unacceptable."

    "We are really tired of the homosexual community hijacking the civil rights movement," Owens tells OneNewsNow. "I did not choose to be black and you did not choose to be white -- and homosexuals make a choice to be homosexual. So why compare what we went through with your situation? It's not the same thing; there's no comparison."

    Now comes the question: If you disagree with the Pastor, are you a racist?

    I make no political statement, I merely state what I observe. I care not a jot for American politics. You seem obsessed by homosexuality, some might see that as a latent tendency.

    As for comparisons, it is you that went off in a tangent.

    They are sick of being called a racist for disagreeing. Although, I dont hear the "Nothing to do with being black" line at all.

    Well if you support a white president who does A, B, and C.
    And then along comes a black president who does A, B, and C.

    If you start criticizing the black president for C, chances are you're being racist. See the logic? Other than skin color, what reason do you have to criticize one president for doing exactly what the last president did?

    Circumstances call for doing A,B and C. if done at the wrong time or place, they are not necessarily the same or going to have the same outcome, so at some point any of them could be wrong.

    Except what we're talking about (taking credit for the death of a national enemy) was done by Bush in the same type of situation. You can't criticize Obama and not Bush. If you want, you can criticize both.

    I didn't like Bush either...and it has nothing to do with him being white.
    I did like Clinton...and it had nothing to do with him being white or a pig.
    I would have rather seen Hillary in the Oval Office...and it has nothing to do with her being white OR a woman.
    And, in all honesty, I would LOVE to see someone like Powell or Schwarzkopf in office because, IMHO, if you're going to "lead" the troops in battle than you should know what it actually means to be in a war! And (in keeping with the theme) it has nothing to do with one being black and one being white.

    Your scenario is flawed because that is not what's going on here. If it were true, you could have a point, but it isn't. The things Obama is being criticized for most conservatives would be screaming about no matter who was sitting in the White House. Most conservatives don't think like a lot of these tools on here that keep going on about the birther crap or this new thing about the Obama's law licenses, and even those for the most part only have to do with their hate for his liberal policies and they are willing to say anything to get him out of office. If you recall the right criticized the hell out of Clinton for trying to push through universal health care. Are you familiar with what is probably Bush Sr's most famous sound bite of "no new taxes"? The right practically stoned him when he raised taxes. It's Obama's policies and the direction he is trying to take the country that he is being criticized for. Not the color of his skin. And we are getting tired of being told that the same policies would be okay if he was white. The would NOT.

    Except if you look back at videos of Bush Jr. taking credit for successful military operations, it's the same thing. And then look at the videos of republican reporters and news anchors commenting on it. They aren't tearing him apart, they're praising him. I'm not calling anyone racist, but there is a double standard. It's probably just that republicans would hate anything democrats do. Either way, it's illogical. Obama gave the Navy SEALs credit. He took credit for his part. This is within the rights of a president. Presidents have been doing this for the past century, at least.
  • Andy Fl... Jacksane 2012/05/09 00:07:15

    Wow, don't recall that I said a single thing in defense of Dubya. I have given Jr credit in the past, but only against asinine questions like this. By "republican" journalists, you obviously mean FOX. If you cancel out Hannity and guests like Anne Coulter, they actually present the truth against the three left wing networks that want to shut them up because they tell the truth. If you actually watched FOX you would know that other than Hannity and Coulter, they called Jr to task for the stint on the carrier as well as his response to Katrina. But none of that has anything to do with this. This has to do with the rampant and false claims that objections to policy and agenda are based in racism.

    I have watched Fox in the past because members of my family watch it, and I have heard dozens of lies and fallacies which did not come from Coulter or Hannity. Especially Glenn Beck.
    Fox news was responsible for PolitiFacts Lie of the Year for 2010 and 2009.
