Sounds a bit racist to me.

Maybe the worst kind of racist is the racist that won't admit being a racist. Yes, the lying racist. The one that pretends not to be one. Knowing full well that he/she is a racist, through and through. I think there are lots of people, for instance, that secretly know that they voted against Barack Obama and want him to fail for one reason only. Because he's black. They can't stand the thought that a black man is president of the USA. Some, of course, will openly admit to their feelings. But others hide it. Because it's not politically correct. Many Republicans are racists. It's inbred. But few Republicans will openly admit they are racists. Although it's obvious. The Republicans' southern strategy was based on luring racists into the party. The very people that opposed civil rights legislation in the 1960s. Republicans have a monopoly on the bigots market. Used to be that a racist used the "N" word to describe a black man. But they can't get away with it anymore. At least when it comes to Obama. Instead, they have substituted the word "socialist." Which seems odd. Because Obama has adopted many rather conservative stances espoused by Republicans in the past 20 years. Only thing is, the Republicans abandoned many of these positions. Merely because Obama supports 'em. They think black is evil. That Obama is the anti-Christ. They even doubt that Obama was born in the USA. They say he isn't a legitimate president. They think it tarnishes the image of the USA to have a black man as the titular leader of the so-called free world. After all, that lofty status was supposed to be reserved for a white man only. Sounds a bit racist to me. --Jim Broede
