After nearly 4 years of Obama, is white America still uneasy w/a black man in the White House?
The Star-Ledger ^ | July 22, 2012 | John Farmer

This is the story of a dinner party.

It occurred in a suburban middle-class community — maybe slightly upscale middle class, but not much — just outside one of our big cities. Pretty typical place.

The guests all knew each other. They were neighbors or friends or acquaintances who’d been to these parties many times. They were white, every one, mostly businessmen and their wives, and some engineers who work or once worked in the nearby defense industries.

The postdinner conversation was the usual stuff — who’s moving in, who’s moving out. Anybody heard from Ralph since he moved to Wisconsin? Nobody had. No surprise. Ralph wouldn’t tell you if your coat was on fire.

It was about at that point, as the conversation edged warily toward the touchy subject of politics, that one fellow — a bit of a curmudgeon — asked if anybody thought President Obama had not been born in America.

You could have heard a cocktail napkin drop.

For a moment, no one said a thing. People looked at one another. Then a lady who had moved to the area from Virginia raised her hand. “I do,” she said. One by one other hands were raised until it was clear most of guests thought Obama had not been born here.

Nobody said anything. Nobody had to. The verdict was clear. But apparently not entirely clear to the questioner. He pressed on. “Does anyone think Obama’s a Muslim?” he asked.

By now it was evident the questions made some guests uncomfortable. This guy was casting a pall over our good time. But he wouldn’t quit. “Anybody think Obama’s a Muslim?” he asked. And again most of those present raised their hands.

The president, they were convinced, or said they were, is indeed a Muslim...

I am uncomfortable with THIS “black” man being president because he is an incompetent, anti-American, Leftist boob.

1) why not ask if we are “uncomfortable” with a Black man being on the Supreme Court?

2) note how the “birthers” are those who do not believe The Disaster was born in the US rather than if he is a Natural Born Citizen.

Let's all vote for Allen West and find out.

Church going black voters are upset with Obama. Their ministers swore to them he was not liberal on abortion and homosexuality.

They’ve seen adamant support for Planned Parenthood (and more PP clinics moving into black neighborhoods) and the gaying of our military, Presidential championing of “Gay Pride Month”, etc.

They will support a brother but don’t want to go to Hell for one or bring damnation upon this nation.

They “cling to religion” too. It’s the entire reason he joined a “Christian” church in the first place.

I voted for Alan Keyes in the 2008 primary. I rejected Huckabee, Romney, and McCain to cast my vote for Mr. Keyes (who was still on the ballot by the Texas primary).

I actually know the answer to that question, but I can't answer it until I stop beating my wife.

I remain uneasy about having Marxist thugs in the White House, to hell with the race of the Punk. Bob

I also voted for Alan Keyes in the ‘00 and ‘04 primaries. And the disastrous last term of Bush vindicated my judgment. My best recollection is that Keyes’ skin is a shade or two darker than mine. *cough*

I don’t have a problem with a Black Conservative in the White House. I Just have a problem with a Socialist in the White House and it don’t matter what Color the Socialist is!

The Race Card again? No, no, no, stop this nonsense. If any normal person is opposed to BHO it is due to his utter lack of experience and incompetence plus his political views only. Please drop this racial BS. The current POTUS is incapable and unable to lead the country or the free world for that matter.

He isn't "Cracker".

Do some research, being of Cracker stock is nothing to be ashamed of. They were tough, resourceful, and very much a part of America's history.

Obama is as much white as he is black. In fact he’s got no African American (slave) roots at all. Barack Husein Obama is also Moslem...

Not at all. Clarence Thomas, Allen West, or Herman Cain would be great. This has nothing to do with being a foreign born, illegal alien, communist grifter.

The problem isn’t that Barack 0bama is Black. The problem is that he is RED.
Redder than Red.
If America would have read- or been exposed to, the things he wrote in his books, especially concerning his racism (*his* racism, not ours) & known about Frank Marshall Davis; who he was, who his mother (Stanley Ann Dunham) was, & who his grandparents were, would we have, still, elected him?
I don’t know the statistics regarding the Baby Boomer population vs the number of those who are young enough not to know about communism (What were they taught, if anything?), but I’m betting the answer to that would be No!

and I was (and am) a Cain supporter — not because he’s a black guy, but because I think he’s a good guy and would be a great President.

This is obviously fiction. Democrat journalists feign the “first person accounts” that never happened to hang the “racist” tag on anyone who objects to the Chicago thug being in office and ruining the country.

First off Obama is not any blacker than he is white..
Half-white blacks are mostly ALL playing a scam...
An Affirmative Action scam..

Obama has been scamming everybody from the git go... even as a child..
He is not ALONE... many half-blacks do the same..
Whether you are indeed black or half-black or a quarter black.. the scam is the same..

Affirmative Action is PURE racism...
