So all the monkey jokes and birther nonsense was not based on racists attitudes?That was a strong reaction to someone that wanted to work with people on the other side and not even in office yet so you could observe the politics. I think pretending racism was not the issue is like sticking your head in the sand.Just look at how whites reacted to Obama before he even got into the white house. Lots of whites have a major issue with confident Black men.Well, I hope not. No one I personally know would, and if anyone does, they are disgusting.
I believe that is in err. The reaction was to Obama's politics, not his skin color...............it was just easy to use as racism whether it was or not.
I don't. Not at all. I do not like his politics, nor do I like Biden's or Hillary's....ALL for the same reason. Others just tried to make not loving Obama about race. IMHO.
I didn't ''hear'' that. I do not associate with people like that. So, I only can speak for myself. IF he was called that....well....I would think that is racist, except I remember pics of GW being put out making him look like a monkey. So what is that?
