Hardly. The media was so anti-Bush that any Democrat could have run against the Republicans and won.

Right here:
You'll need a better straw man than that. Just so there's no further attempt to lie about what I said:
What's nauseating is the way liberals are frequently talking about his race--chiefly as a means of distracting from his inept and incompetent handling of the duties of President.

So far, he hasn't achieved much of anything besides getting elected on a campaign slogan of "I'm not Bush"--unless you count doubling the deficit, putting the country on a path to trebling the national debt, heaping unearned opprobrium on the CIA at a time when intelligence agencies are most needed, and completely failing to represent any American interest on his tourist trips abroad.

When Dear Leader actually gets around to remembering that he is a President of the United States and not just he-who-reads-the-teleprompter we can talk about his achievements. Until then it's an empty and withal frivolous topic.

You say that they have, with all your talk of the "white barrier". That garbage makes racism is your gig, not mine.

RightinNYC

You seemed to imply that they did.

See now I'm a racist because I acknowledge his skin color...wtf..that is really pathetic people.

celticlord

Precisely. If the content of his character were truly the matter of the moment his skin color would not even be an issue.

I can talk at length about the content of his character--actually the lack of content within his vapid character--and not bring up his amazing tan.

Why can't liberals talk positively about the content of his character without bringing up his amazing tan?

Until you stop seeing him as a "black President", yeah, you're a racist.

I knew when he did the speech at the 2004 Convention that he had a great chance...that observation had zero too do with his skin color.

Don't call me a racist unless you want to be reported...OK?

They talk positivey about his qualities reguardless of his skin color all of the time. You just don't want to hear it.

celticlord

Yeah, they go on and on and on about his "qualities".

Of course, when it comes to the topic of "results", they fall amazingly silent.

The race card often gets played shortly thereafter. Go figure.

LOL! Come On! I am not that bad!

Anyways I was thinking about this today and my statement that I do not know any racist black folks? I am gonna revoke that comment because I thought about two black girls I know who think that white women are stealing what they view as "their" men. They dislike most white women that date black men but are cool with me and have no problems with me.

I also know a few black guys that dislike white men. They are ok with white females but do not like white males very much..

So anyways last night when I made my comment I was not thinking about these people. So I take back my comment about not knowing any black racist cause this is clearly examples of racism.

Sorry..

Folks, acknowledging race is not a sign of a racist. Racism implies hatred of other races or perceiving one race as being superior or inferior to another. In a perfect 'racial world' we would understand and accept other races/ethnic groups, not ignore the fact that a black person is black.

Essentially, my argument is:

One extreme: That guy is (insert 'white' ethnic group)/black/Latino, he's a low form of humanity.
The other extreme: That guy is (insert 'white' ethnic group)/black/Latino but I cannot and will not acknowledge that he is of a different race.
Balance: That guy is (insert 'white' ethnic group)/black/Latino. Cool.
