Anyone who watches the videos of Tommy Sotomayor knows that black people are unbelievably racist.

Can you imagine a white guy saying, “Yeah, he’s a black guy, but....”? All hell would break loose. But Obunghole’s racism is OK.

“I have a dream ... that someday a half-white/half-black President who willfully chooses his black-half as his primary race will acknowledge race as the principle factor in all decisions, subsuming competence and character to melanin-content.”

— Martin Luther King

Dreams come true!
