Earlier this week, Rick Perry said, Its fun to poke at [Obama] a little bit and say, Hey, lets see your grades and your birth certificate. And why shouldnt he find birtherism fun?
Racism is supposed to be fun for white people who choose to engage in it. I mean, its gotta be fun to be powerful and dominant and flaunt white privilege. Right?
In a country where lynchings once doubled an occasion for barbeques the strangling and perhaps burning of a Black body as the central performance act at a pleasant Southern picnic why shouldnt racism be fun for white people?
Birtherism is absolutely racism. Its a clever, coded, politically-correct way to remind people Obamas Black and untrustworthy and not one of us. Its otherization: making him into an other makes him easier to demonize. For a candidate to say, Obamas Black, dont vote for him, would be too naked, impolite, and distasteful. But that same message is activated by the suggestion that hes not like us because hes not from this country.
See, racism seeks to put Blacks in a second-class position and to say were lesser than: lesser intelligence, value and/or humanity. Were not one of the real Americans. Birtherism subtly says to the audience, Obamas not really one of us Americans. We cant be sure hes really from here. Is he a full-fledged American? We just cant be certain.

WHY are idiots like taken seriously, by anybody?
I’ve been to a lot of southern picnics. Not once have I seen a lynching. And by the way, there are plenty of “black” southern picnics. Great food!
Gov. Perry GOES UP with his speaking out about this.
AMERICANS WANT THE REAL BC or an impeachment
(or an arrest of Congress for THEIR misprision of felony).
If Herman Cain calls Barrack HUSSEIN 0bamao’s ancestry into question, will they call him a racist, too?
Cain is a descendant of African slaves who pulled himself up by the bootstraps and became a successful business man, helping to create and KEEP jobs. A REAL American.
0bamao is the descendant of African slave-TRADERS, mentored by communists and anti-Americanists all his life, never worked a real job, and has put MILLIONS out of work with his stupid central-planning, time-proven-failure Marxist policies.
Who ya gonna trust?
Any critcism of Obama is by definition ‘racism’ according to dim bulb Toure’. Question his corrupt dealings with the likes of Rezko? Racist...Question his membership in Rev Wright’s church? Most definately racist!....Ask him about ‘that guy in the neighborhood, Bill Ayers? Racist again...Question the gov’t for spending $80k to buy Barry’s books? That’s racist!
Toure’ is just gearing up for the 2012 campaign, where the likes of him will be the protectors of the OBama, claiming any criticism of him is racist.
The NYSlimes is out today with another attack piece on Herman Cain. Barry and his minions have to destroy Cain or their whole 2012 strategy will blow up. They have already tried to play the race card on Cain and found it is not so easy to do. Cain is an authentic black man from the south who overcame real racism. Barry was raised in Hawaii and overseas in a much different environment than the average black person.
Yeah, we can. He's not. Based not on his color, his birthplace, or his parentage. Based on his contempt and hatred for America, her people, and what they stand for.
The eligibility issue sure hits a nerve, they want this squashed before election time.
“Birtherism is absolutely racism.”
That statement is absolutely racism.
FU, chump. You jerks have burned me out. From now on, I don’t even care if people think I’m racist. FT.
I saw this guy on MSNBC several times. He NEVER talks about anything without injecting racism into it. This guy is another elite trying to incite. He doesnt seem to understand that the white people presently in the U.S. do not own slaves, neither did our parents or grand parents. The question is, why have they worked so hard to keep this issue alive 150 years after it was resolved? What peoples have been enslaved at some point in history by another people? Pretty much all of them. What previously enslaved peoples have moved on? All but one.
This article may be the definition of `fatuous’ and embarrassing, even to lefties, in its shameless kowtowing to liberal cant, but take it easy on the guy—he can’t seem to hold a job and can only afford one name.

Time once again illustrates why its circulation is shrinking.

Do you have any idea how many white people were lynched? Of course you don’t, you ignorant, racist, bigoted moron.
Funny, isn’t it: when ranchers catch rustlers and string them up from the nearest tree, that’s the romantic Old West.
The difference, of course, is that every black ever lynched was completely innocent of everything. Saints, every last one of them.
The white people who were lynched, though, were demons: guilty, guilty, guilty.
This article is blood libel.

Hey, it worked for (previously unknown) song-shouter Kanye West!
Not to go off-subject but as a matter of morals—like our immigration policy (`salutary negelct’)—Toure is an example of what happens when you reward bad behavior.
He should be spanked and sent to bed without his tofu and bean sprouts, but instead he will be invited to cocktail parties where he will expound upon his courage in holding opinions which are shared by every other person in the room.
The word "bigot" is too gentle for the pseudo-journalist that wrote this bit of dreck.
Having a white man run against a black President is racist. Yes, Mr Cain is black but he is not “authentically black” according to the left-O-meter (runs on magic unicorn farts)
