Interesting how things change when you put them in context....
...."civil rights while asshole southern sheriffs were swinging nail studded baseball bats at black's heads, and stood between black kids and even more fucked up northern assholes were throwing rocks and gas bombs at school buses in my hometown during forced busing for deseg.
Two things you can always count on: I will defend my record on race to no one (sic), under any circumstances and, I will call out any racist, any time without regard to who they are ... and that includes our half white, racist president."
I see no problem with what he said. Obama is half white - as he himself has pointed out when it suits his political agenda. And, when you consider some of his actions and words.... one could legitimately view him as a racist.
Seriously. As much as the guy claims to know about race relations in America... did the guy condemn Tom Tancredo for promoting southern literacy tests?
Like really. I'd like to see a racist quote from President Obama. I'd like to know why you people think he hates his white grandmother.
It's a really LOW blow these people throw out. The man has white family members and your questioning whether or not he hates them because they're white? LOW BLOW.
I am not 'you people', I am me, an individual, capable of individual thought. Much like you. I think the statement that Obama hates his white grandma is ridiculous. Racism is not just about 'hate' and anyone who thinks it is is a fool. It is about making assumptions about people based on race.
For example, if a white police officer arrests a black professor and someone else, say for instance, the POTUS, goes on national tv and tells us all that 'while he does not know all the facts, this was clearly racism' and criticizes a decorated police officer and defends the black guy.
Referring to someone as having 'typical white attitiudes', that could be seen as racist.
Playing a black audience by saying something like 'Selma got me born', when in fact, you were already born when those brave civil rights people marched, that's racism.... it is using your race to seek sympathy.
I could go on but I really can't be bothered. Obama is a racist.
