Morgan Freeman: Tea Party Is Racist, They're Out To Get Obama
When asked by Morgan whether Obama's presidency has made racism in the United States better or worse, Freeman, who once played apartheid-defying South African president Nelson Mandela, frankly stated that his time in office has made it worse, as he has become a target of the right's aggression.
"Their stated policy, publicly stated, is to do whatever it takes to see to it that Obama only serves one term," the actor said. "What’s, what does that, what underlines that? 'Screw the country. We’re going to whatever we do to get this black man, we can, we’re going to do whatever we can to get this black man outta here.'"
Declaring once again that "it's a racist thing," Freeman said the group's rise has shown the hate still lingering in America.
Last year.

What is weird is folks who voted for him because he is black are not racists, while those who dislike his policies and want him removed because of those policies are racists.
I find this confusing.
How is black people voting for the president because he's black, different from the religious right supporting huckabee or perry with his Christians only prayer rally?
It's certainly better than the radicals on the right shrieking that they want to " take back [their] country" from what? There was a lawful election.
It's time for the right to at least explore the ugly undercurrent of racism in their party -- from the southern strategy -- to their opposition to anything that smacks of social justice -- to the insistence that any discussion of racism is somehow "racist"
As I said, those who have issues with high taxes, treat allies badly and cozy up to bad guys, spend twice as much money as the government took in and believe the persons responsible for these bad polices are racist while those who vote for a guy totally based on his african heritage are enlightened and not racist. The logic of this escapes me.
