Fact: A Hawaii "Birth Certificate" of Barack's claimed year of birth would reveal the hospital of his birth, and citizenship of his parents.
Fact: There is no logical reason on earth for Barack Obama to hold back this birth record that would provide this needed citizenship information.
What does seem logical at this point is that Barack is "pleading the fifth" so as to not incriminate himself in criminal activity. He has already sworn in election documents that he is a natural born citizen.
Your assessment that this is a racist issue is far from the truth. This issue is solely an issue on whether or not the constitution is the supreme law of the land or not. To Barack Obama the constitution may as well be a piece of toilet paper by how he has treated the people who wish to verify that he is indeed a natural born citizen by viewing this piece of evidence called a birth certificate!
