43% of blacks believe Obama critics are racist

Perception is nine-10ths of the law in politics and the perception among a plurality of black Americans is that people oppose the president’s policies because the opponents are racist, a Rasmussen Poll found.

On top of that, 21% said black-white relations are getting worse, 43% said white-Hispanic relations are getting worse, and 31% said black-Hispanic relations are getting worse.

No other interracial relationships were included in the poll.

The big question asked by Rasmussen was the perception of the motive of opposition to the president.

Since I don’t even believe in the accepted concept of “race”, there’s no way I can be a “racIST”.

I am, however, an avowed “culturist”.

[Gaffer]

Hmmm...I’d expected significantly more than that - more than double that.....

[MrB]

What’s an “African American”?

I know that Obama is an African,
and Herman Cain is an American...

but what is this “African American” thing?

I enjoyed the Chris Rock routine where he says who’s more “racist”? BLACK people, because they hate EVERYONE! Totally true. They hate whites, asians, hispanics, and especially gays.

I agree, I would have expected 83, instead of 43.

It was “the Reverend” Jesse Louis Jackson, Sr., who coined the term “African American” because he fell out of favor with the word “black.” I wonder if he uses black ink? Pretty soon, whites embraced “the Reverend’s” new terminology.

[MrB]

I think there are two factors involve in the change to “African American”. One is the Muslim tenet of supremacy - let’s make them refer to us in a way other than what they’ve been referring to us as. Reaston two is the same reason that progressives became liberals became progressives became no labels.
