Obama’s knee-jerk reaction to the Gates affair gave the game away. All the more funny considering Obama’s AND Gates’s large European heritage. Race is a myth, but that doesn’t mean some people can’t be racists. Racist is probably a handier epithet to use than ethnophobe.
I think the fact of 0bama’s and Gates’ “European heritage” is what makes them all the more bitter and racist.
For some reason, they feel like they have to hate whitey more than the next guy or they’ll be ostracized for being half white.
