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?

These questions weigh on my mind. Are there others who juxtapose the two questions and wonder?

Its not racist, however, to them, psychologically, the fact that he’s losing more and more support among white voters at the same time he proposes things they agree with and benefits them (or at least they feel it would benefit them) makes it seem racist. It’s not that they’re arbitrarily saying its racist knowing its not, its that they truly believe it is racist, despite the fact it isn’t.

Why would it weigh on your mind? The answer is NO, who the hell cares what color he claims to be. Disagreement is NOT racist.

They’ve got nothing else.

That’s why it’s “racist”

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

Because too many white people have voted to euthanize their race.

It has become, defacto, shameful to be white in the U.S.A.

If Blacks that oppose Obama are “uncle toms”
then whites that opposed Bush are?

Answer: Patriots!

/sarcasm

It is your DUTY to oppose evil no matter what shape or form it takes.

The answer is because you’ll back down if you’re called a racist and a black won’t.

For the same reason that:

The NAACP is not racist, but a NAAWP would be.

The United Negro College Fund is not racist, but a he United Whitey College Fund would be.

It would be racist to give preference to white people when hiring, but not to give preference to black people through affirmative action.

The TV channel BET is not racist, but a channel called WET would be.

It’s racist to use the word “ni**er” if you’re white, but not if you’re black.

A black conservative is an Uncle Tom, but a white liberal is enlightened.

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

It’s the double standard.

As long as we continue living under the fascist PC Double Standard set up by the libtards, there will be no true advancement toward a “post-racial” society.

The heinous crimes committed in Knoxville that resulted in the first conviction last week unfortunately were not covered by the MSM because it was a horrific black on white crime. If the races had been reversed, it would have been wall to wall coverage. One AP article I read (the only national news org who said anything about the trial) mentioned that “some conservative bloggers and white supremacist groups” were upset with the lack of coverage.

Unfortunately, the first defendant got life without parole and the jury (which by the way was about half black) did not decide to impose the death penalty, although they could have.

Were the racial roles reversed, I have no doubt there’d be riots and violence, but the white families of the victims expressed their “disappointment” with the no death penalty decision.

Liberals would love for you to believe that an objection to Obama is a racists act. Sorry - but it's just not true. If Obama was white ( and he's just as "white" as he is "black" so that complicates it further) you would feel the same way about him going after the CIA and spending every dime we, our children and our grandchildren will ever have...

If you don't accept liberals' definitions of reality - they can't foist lies on you. Or on to us, either.

It's time to stand up to the race baiters - the professional "chip on the shoulder" guys, the "guilt trippers" and the bullshi--ers.

Remember when Jesse, Al and other race-baiters at first said the 0 wasn’t black enough? Your post leads to:

He isn’t too white, he isn’t too black, he’s too RED.

Here's the truth... the word "racism" has been misused so much that even those that bandy that word all the time aren't exactly sure of the meaning...

I suspect some folks just wake up in the morning and WANT to be a victim... sadly, it is a way for them to validate their existence...

No, I don't wonder about it at all ~ beyond thinking about taking a Louisville Slugger to the thin skull of the idiot who came up with the idea that criticizing Obama's stupidities is racism.

You have to admit, Obama is about the stupidest man in history to serve as President. It's the dope ~ jellied his brains.

Does that every single time.
