Why is it Racist to Disagree?


Was a black person considered racist for expressing opposition to President Bush because he was white?

Why is a white person considered racist for expressing opposition to President Obama because he is black?

A white person that voted for McCain last year was racist, but a black person voting for Obama wasn’t.

Racism here, you make the call:

Exit polls - how Obama won

The Illinois senator won 43 percent of white voters, 4 percentage points below Carter’s performance in 1976 and equal to what Bill Clinton won in the three-man race of 1996. Republican John McCain won 55 percent of the white vote.


Fully 96 percent of black voters supported Obama and constituted 13 percent of the electorate, a 2-percentage-point rise in their national turnout. As in past years, black women turned out at a higher rate than black men.

Because Democrats are the racists. They race bait, and they put their boy in there so that they could race bait, every time someone speaks out against his policies, it makes zero, in their minds, untouchable and they can slip their entire agenda right in using that plan.

Understand, if like most Americans, the whole of America were to become truly colored blind, the Dems would be history forever. Racism holds them together, gives them their power.

Yup. And 90% of those slinging around the "racist" accusation know damn well they are slinging it falsely in order to intimidate and silence dissent. It would be a little bit easier to swallow if they actually believed what they are saying, but they are flat-out deliberately sliming and bullying innocent people.

I don’t care what they say. I, you and everyone else has the right and responsibility to do what we feel is right.....regardless of color. Ignore their comments concerning race, it’s just used to divide. Won’t work this time around.

This is one of the few times I agree with Hillary. She was just one administration off.

I could care less about his skin color. Hell for that matter I have as much disgust for Nancy Pelosi, Barney Frank, Barbara Boxer, Diane Fienstein, etc,etc,etc.

So...I guess that makes me a feminist hating, homophobic, white American gun toting male. Deal with it.

“As long as we continue living under the fascist PC Double Standard…”

The actual term is “POLITICALLY CORRUPT” when someone else can dictate what you can think, say and do; overriding free thinking, lawful behavior and your First Amendment freedoms.

they truly believe it is racist, despite the fact it isn’t.

When a person puts EVERYTHING in terms of race, then that person becomes racist by definition IMHO.

For this reason, the racists are the ones calling racism. For most white people, it isn't about race at all (in fact he is half white). It's about ideology, and two different directions for the USA.

Yesterday at work a black gal said that we were opposing him because he was black. I told her that her statement was racist. She never said another word.

“President Obama because he is black?”

Ummm, he is half white, so he is therefore considered white. (He is just a rich white kid from Hawaii.)
So if someone is considered “white”; they could not possibly be racist if the oppose Senator Obama’s radical left wing policies.

(What does it mean to “white after all?

The only people I have seen with truly white skin are mimes such as Marcel Marceau; and Michael Jackson.

Most humans have different shades of tan, peach and darker colors.)

Well, let me put it to you this way ...

I had lunch with a coworker recently whom I consider to be an intelligent person with good analytical skills. He is also a black man. I’ve never seen or heard him give any indication that he feels regularly discriminated against. He doesn’t carry a chip on his shoulder. He doesn’t have an “attitude.”

The waiter served water to another table before ours. This coworker decided that the waiter was a racist who was avoiding serving a thirsty black man. I didn’t know one could be racist in waiting tables. The incident changed my opinion of that coworker and not in a good way.

The moral of the story is that a formerly reasonable man suddenly sees racism in the smallest of circumstances. Welcome to post-racial Amerika.

There has been a successful 35+ years war against White males...now the battle moves to destroy the middle-class and specifically the White middle-class.

In this video see how it is okay and agreed (publically) that White males should be discriminated against, these are members of the US government using my tax dollars to deprive people like me of equal opportunity and liberty.

No White Male Construction Workers

And, these SON-OF A-BITCHES wonder why I'm buying guns and ammo?

It is my duty as an American citizen...though I haven’t had to do too much disagreeing in public yet. Easier said than done.

That deserves a repeat and a nomination for best post of the year!

I don't disagree with the color of his skin; I disagree with the color of his Commie RED policies and agenda.

There's a guy where I work, who is first generation Mexican-American. We are always talking politics and he and I are total conservatives. Most every time we talk, he feels sorry for me cuz I'm white and being white, I can't nothing to anyone without getting called a racist. This guy, gets harassed by friends and family members because he is conservative. They are all democrat and believe in milking the system for all they can get. Him, he works his ass off and supports, not only his immediate family, wife two kids, but he also supports his wife's parents and her brother, his parents and three siblings and about 5 other distant relatives. All of which are worthless stay at home screw the government out of all the money they can get POS. Also, half are still illegal, which just kills this guy.
Now to answer the question, no matter what a white conservative is wrong, but it also goes to other races of people that believe in hard work and becoming Americans.

Obama had a black father and a white mother. He is not black and he is not white. He is both. That is not being racist. My father was Italian my mother German therefore, we were not Italian or German...we were both.. Ther racist card is getting old and people are getting tired of it. I criticized Dubya a lot...it was NOT racist. it was my right to do so as an American citizen.
