Is George W. Bush a Racist?

Is George W. Bush a Racist?

I don't know Bush, but to his credit he was probably no bigot. Even as he ramped up wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, he repeatedly reminded America that Islam is a religion of peace. In addition, he increased aid to Africa, and he pushed immigration reform. The guy might have been a terrible President, but if he's a bigot, his tenure does not reflect it.

He IS a good artist and a pretty decent rapper. The thing is, being a good artist and being a douchebag are not mutually exclusive.

Two mutually exclusive things there.

He lacks the intellect to be a racist.

He's no racist. Just a moron.

The first disagreement of the day..
IMO, the more intellect a man has, this less likely he is to be a racist.
And I do not think that Bush the younger was a "moron"....maybe not as smart as President Obama, but "smarts" are not the only thing..
We are all open to racism...the thing to do is to know this and keep it under control.

I think Bush has his environmental conditioning and upbringing like anyone else that may lead to thoughts and feeling that the more sensitive might regard as racist, however, I do not believe Bush is or was ever driven by racial issues. I don't think he is racist at all. He's just a Texan.

Reminds me of an old saying:
"He's not gay. He's British." :lamo

I don't think we'll ever see Bush kissing a black person on the lips but he would not go out of his way to do harm to anyone simply because of their race.

Well now, he gave the Saudi king a big kiss on the lips, and Arabs are dark-skinned. GWShiiteForBrains may be a liar, torturer, murderer, drugger, AWOL scumbag, but he is surely not a rascist.

You mean like the words "interesting" and "hockey"?

whoa there big fella.... :stop: ...off you go to the.... smileys-hockey-and-ice-hockey-970721.gif

it's not necessary to describe hockey as "interesting" any more than it's necessary to describe the pope as "religious".

Only 2 minutes? I think that's a major penalty -- 5 minutes is warranted.
 
It's worth noting that GW did more for Africa, sent more aid to Africa and otherwise helped African nations more than any President (perhaps arguably) prior. His actions overall do not reflect one of racism.
