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.

“”correct way to remind people Obamas Black””
That’s funny! HE’S NOT BLACK!
This dude look gayer than a three dollar bill. This is the same idiot that said female slaves seduced their ‘massas’ to RAPE them to gain their freedom...even though it ‘didn’t always work’.
If only common sense came as an IV these folks could be helped. Till then, lets just answer them and laugh.
And how many slave ancestors does Barack Hussein Obama have?
ZERO
This is how liberals think, without having to think. Always begin with a false presupposition, and illogically progress from that. In the case of Obama’s eligibility, liberals begin with the presupposition that his eligibility and citizenship are questioned because he is black. This is ignorance, on the part of those who believe it, and subterfuge on the part of those who use it to dissuade people from scrutinizing Obama’s scam, but as liberal logic goes, it is enlightenment. ...Go ahead and poke fun at Obama and liberal kooks. It’s the truthful thing to do.
The more the american people learn about obama’s socialist/commie agenda for this country the more his pole numbers go right in the tank. You socialist frauds in the MSM have no answer for this decline, so out comes the race card. We are not only going to vote obama’s commie rear end out of office in 2012 we are going to vote all the white socialist frauds out as well. Cause, something is happening that you don’t really understand, do you Mr. Jones.
Have you posted this on FR before? Because I've read it once before and it stuck with me. If you're the one, I read it when you posted it and thought, "You know, that's EXACTLY the attitude I'm starting to adopt".
I've actually quoted you on several occasions.
After all, they're gonna call us racist anyway, right?
Good stuff.
Maybe Perry’s just trying to deflect attention away
from his own, exceptionally mediocre, grade point.
Somewhere between 1.9 and 2.0:

It’s not like he’s been coming off as a genius in
any of his debate performances.
Which race? The half he was raised as or the half he pretends to be?
“Have you posted this on FR before?”
Ya know, I don’t really remember. I’m sure it couldn’t be an original thought.
LOL!
