obviously, you a committed teabagger, are resentful of the consequences of european slavery - affirmative action. my heart bleeds for you.

While affirmative action served a positive purpose to help overcome segregation decades ago, it now is a form of keeping racism alive. We should be striving for 'equality for all and favoritism for none'. This cannot be achieved with such things as affirmative action in place. Affirmative action is racism by definition, but the ignorant will not see that.

affirmative action is not racist by definition - it is the exact opposite. only the ignorant would think otherwise.

Palin voices the right-wing drumbeat warning Americans that "government is on your back" and "you should keep your own money."

How could she write that on one hand? And considering she had written her to-do list on her hand of:

- Attend clan rally

- Go hunt'n

- Go fish'n

- Attend clan rally

This is pure bull shit

I agree, a senile ole white dude and a semi-pretty white ho running as Pres/vp is nuts. This somehow makes Nixon/Agnew look normal.

Deciphering the racial codes on the movement's ubiquitous placards does not require a doctorate in semiotics. One popular sign shows the president's face and a caption: "Undocumented worker." Another combines Obama's image with this caption: "The Zoo Has an African Lion and the White House Has a Lyin' African!"

Aside from the festive, ad hominem attacks against President Obama, the Tea Party's leaders and its rank-and-file rarely mention race in debate, instead tucking it just under the surface of "nonracial" issues like health care reform, public spending, immigration, and pointedly, taxes.

Palin voices the right-wing drumbeat warning Americans that "government is on your back" and "you should keep your own money." Alongside other avid Tea Party supporters like Tom Tancredo and Glenn Beck, Palin gins-up conservative whites' existing resentment over race, carping over the "high taxes" for public services assumed to be wasted on "illegals" and minorities.

Denouncing government assistance and free school lunches at a town hall meeting in late January, South Carolina Lieutenant Governor Andre Bauer, a Tea Party supporter, said: "My grandmother was not a highly educated woman, but she told me as a small child to quit feeding stray animals. You know why? Because they breed. You're facilitating the problem if you give an animal or a person ample food supply. They will reproduce, especially ones that don't think too much further than that."

Oh My GOD!

Someone criticized a black man!

Harumph harumph harumph!

Pffft. Whatever.

No, someone criticized the president and used race as their basis. At least we use factors not respective to birth/origin.

Now that he is president his race is nowhere near as significant as his socialist policies.

I know, dude. American, corporate-fascist polices have made this country what it is: broke. Funny to see a RWer criticize a system that saved this country in the GD while the one you support has tanked it.

Black or white, so far, he is failing as a president.

So with all numbers looking good, how is it that Obama is failing? Because he didn't fix the Great Republican Recession in 2 weeks? You simply don't have the data to support your claim.

Does anyone else feel that the use of racism charges to hide behind any criticism cheapens the real occurrences that should be addressed?

does anyone else feel that it is strange that the teaparty is all white?

(like those bankers - odd)

Hmmmmm, Black guy and a white guy both trying to get that free ride in school. Black guy wins because the affirmative action and so his skin color is the reason he got it instead of the white guy. Hmmmmm, and you think thats ok to give something because of skin color?

Quote

it is the exact opposite. only the ignorant would think otherwise.

Just as I thought. If we disagree with you we are either ignorant or a racist.
