Speaking with CNS News, Santorum also argued against gay marriage and gay adoption, saying that it's "common sense" that marriage between a man and a woman "is nature. And what we're trying to do is defy nature because a certain group of people want to be affirmed by society. And I just don't think that's to the benefit of society or to the child."
"I find it almost remarkable for a black man to say, 'We're going to decide who are people and who are not people.'"
Rick Santorum
Potential 2012 presidential candidate and former Sen. Rick Santorum (R-PA) doesn't understand how President Obama could not answer whether a "human life" is protected by the Constitution from the moment of conception: "The question is -- and this is what Barack Obama didn't want to answer -- is that human life a person under the Constitution? And Barack Obama says no. Well if that person -- human life is not a person, then -- I find it almost remarkable for a black man to say, 'we're going to decide who are people and who are not people.'"
I think he was alluding to the fact that black men aren't really people in his opinion.Potential 2012 presidential candidate and former Sen.

Hey! My dog is perfectly able to decide who is and who is not human.I think he was alluding to the fact that black men aren't really people in his opinion.Aaaah, Rick...Obama is not reeeally the Messiah!
That's what make it so ironic.
It would be like a dog deciding who are people and who are not people.
Or a Mexican.

He's talking about history.
For hundreds of years the life of black people was of little or no concern to the rest of America.
And now we have little or no concern for the life growing inside of a woman.

That was my understanding of his remark too. How exactly is referencing an historic wrong to illustrate his view on abortion racist?
This constant need to label anyone we disagree with as racist is ridiculous... and, more importantly, it makes it much harder to expose REAL ACTUAL racism.
There is nothing wrong with Santorum's comment.
Considering how Rep. Jackson recently wanted the original version of The Constitution which included slaves being counted as 3/5th of a person to be read on the House floor, the government deciding who counts as a "person" has extra sensitivity for those who run on a racialist agenda.

I just find it odd that, in a discussion about abortion, the term "black man" would even enter the conversation.
I would think that you, as a white American woman of Irish descent living in England, would agree.

I think anyone with a brain would understand his point. Anyone without said brain, would call it racist.

Was that changed in the Constitution and how was it changed? By an amendment?
I didn't see anyone on this thread call it racist. Rather several of us are thinking Santorum is an idiot.That was my understanding of his remark too. How exactly is referencing an historic wrong to illustrate his view on abortion racist?
