    ORIGINAL question, Unanswered






    Well, since you can't/won't answer the original question, that seemed to set you off on a tangent, :)...I'll leave you to your judging people based on their bloodlines (like animals)...

    Your broken record keeps avoiding the fact that it was the racists who voted for Obama because it would be historic, it was the racists who voted against Trump and it was the racists who supported a guy who openly declared that he was choosing a running mate based on color. It's what racists do.

    Criticise if you will, but please don't twist my words. I was quoting what I heard from people I know, and they definately were using it in a racist, or derogatory way. Try to just read what others offer instead of reading into what others offer. He was not a Muslim, but I only say that as a matter of fact, which apparently is beyond your comprehension. I do agree that he seemed sympathetic to the Muslim people of the world, but he seemed to have compassion for many of the "common" people of the world, no matter the race or religion, which I thought was appropriate and a good quality of his. His problem was trying to appease everyone all the time, which sometimes led him to problems with foreign policy.
    If I referred to Trump as a Nazi, please point it out. Trump wasn't near the leader that Hitler was. Trump is in a class of @hole all by himself.

    You can defend Obama's groundless, hateful assertions about white Americans not wanting a person in the White House based on race if you want to. Truth? We who grew to loathe and despise him did so because of what he SAID and DID, not because he is a mixed-race mulatto....

    Moreover, you can defy human physiology and genetics if that also amuses you, but please understand that whether you, personally, approve of it or not, there are THREE main races within humanity -- Caucasian, East-Asian (Mongol), and, Negro. Some schools hold that there are two others also -- Australian aborigine, and, American Indian. But to reject the well-documented fact that there races at all is blind ignorance. Suit yourself... for a long time, people rejected the idea that the Earth orbits the sun.... :spin:

    My apologies for not having fully understood the nature of your inquiry. Now, I can only reply that in order to get a "racist's" perspective on whether or not, and to which degree they may or may not, have objected to a 'black' man in the White House, you must ask only racists. Surely, only they can answer your question satisfactorily....

    Now I will withdraw from the thread and let the "racists" answer you, unimpeded by myself. Have a splendid evening....

    Interesting. Obama was not elected just with a minority vote. Many white people voted for him. I myself did the first time but voted Romney the second. Yet Obama and many democrats label anyone who voted for Trump and was white must be racist. Well I voted for Trump the last time and voted for him again this time. Am I a racist? I also sent money to the campaign of John James, a black man, running for Senator of Michigan. I also voted for Jarome Bell. a black man, over Scott Walker in his primary in Virginia. Republicans vote for who they believe is the best candidate unlike Democrats who are more inclined to vote for the party.

    I'm wondering why you didn't read the post of mine you quoted....and respond to that..

    I didn't discuss or mention any of what you're going on about here...

    ...but your blanket comment about how Republicans and Democrats vote is mildly amusing

    Did Obama give them any reason to like or dislike him? I have met very few people who are not racist. Cannot say I have met anyone who was totally racist. People generally react to others as they are treated or effected by. I was at a A.A. meeting one night and one of the speakers said how he didn't like white people much when he was a young man. After the meeting I walked up to him and told him we both had a lot in common. He said "how's that". I told him " When I was young I didn't much care for white people either". We both just laughed.

    The Obama never passes up an opportunity to fan the flames of racism in the US.

    That isn’t news. Trumpsters have been saying that for twelve years.

    One of the most effective right wing scare memes was the claim that Joe Biden was a stalking horse for Kamala Harris.

    This is total nonsense, of course. Made up by the sort of people who traffic in the racist memes that are so popular on right wing media.

    And almost every Trumpster on this forum repeated it.

    That never happened.

    But by repeating that very long ago discredited birther meme, you made your own attitudes clear.
