Quote:You can't be an open racist without repercussions, so this is a way to express that racism.
But are you saying that anyone with a dislike or distaste for Obama by default has to be racist? That is what I am trying to not let you say. Even that if you think he may not be a naturalized American citizen, you must be racist?
My opinions on Obama have nothing at all to do with his race. None of my opinions are about his race. I don't like who he works for, where he came from, what he has done, what he will do... I don't like him as much I wouldn't like anyone on top of that pile. Any president, until there is some 'change we can believe in', is by default an enemy of mine. They won't let anyone who isn't crazy like them be in charge. His naming of his administration, his actions about the 'financial crisis', the Friedman School of Economics he is part of... Those are legitimate things to dislike about a president, and have nothing to do with his race.
But are you assured that my dislike is based on underlying and denied racism? Like you know my belief in god is based on underlying fear and ignorance? May be, in such situations, I know more about myself than you do about me. Especially my unspoken secrets and motivators. Thank you.
