I do cringe at some of my fellow FReepers comments, though. They make us all look bad in the public eye,

I will guarantee you that the vast vast majority of FR posts have no basis in racism. You are falling prey to a common liberal trick. And that is, if you harshly criticize minorities and criticize them enough using much the same language as you would criticize any other, then there has to be a racist element to your criticism. I mean if you are criticizing a minority so severely, it has to be because the person is a minority, right ? Because you wouldn't dare openly make the person's race an issue.

When liberals attack conservatives, DO NOT accept their premise -- which is almost always false. When you accept their premise, it's a tantamount admission that that their accusation is basically correct, but wrong only in some of the specifics.

Yes, this is what LIBERALS do. It's called the racism of lowered expectations.

We don't do that here. But I think what some of us feel shameful about reading this criticism of us, is that there is some truth to the fact that some posters here have make fun of the Obamas based on racist caricatures of black Americans. It's sickening and wrong.

I actually had a neighbor "of color" tell me, in front of his young daughter, that I am a racist because I admire Condoleezza Rice.

“You are falling prey to a common liberal trick. And that is, if you harshly criticize minorities and criticize them enough using much the same language as you would criticize any other, then there has to be a racist element to your criticism.”

I don’t think I’ve “fallen prey to a common liberal trick.” I challenge you to read my previous posts to see if I ever considered general criticism of a black person to be racist. There’s a difference between holding to certain moral standards and being the dupe of your opponents.
