Everyone knows that Obama took the side of the black prof. from Cambridge and condemned the police without even having the facts so my question begs to be asked:
 
No, Barack Obama is overtly racist.
 
Seeing how he attended a anti-American racist church for 20 years it is believable. But a lot of people believe cops are out to get the black men, it doesn't mean they are racist it just means they are idiots.
 
Yeah but that was a stupid error of judgement on his part. I doubt it means he is a secret racist.

Trust me, anyone who thinks that Obama is a racist has a lot more to throw at him than just the Gates issue. There's the whole "typical of white people" comment, the Reverend Wright issue, etc.

I personally don't think he is anymore a racist than anyone else. To a certain extent I think we all have at least minor racial prejudices. It's human nature to judge people on extremely shallow criteria.

Well he,s half white so im not sure how he could pull that one off
 
Secret racist? No

Racist in denial? In my opinion, yes.
 
Secret racist would imply he takes pains to conceal his racism. He doesn't. He proudly exudes the typical destructive racism the lunatic left loves to celebrate.

No, but maybe you are. If you see someone extending their hand in effort to halt racism (whether it backfired or not) as racist, than maybe you are secretly racist. No, you're probably just really paranoid.

Wow, you are jumping to a lot of unnecessary conclusions. The OP just asks a simple question with absolutely zero accusations.
 
I voted "no", because IMO, he has said various things which are racist. And thus, is overtly racist.
 
If he took the side of the white officers, would you still be labelling him as a racist, because he is mixed race?

Yeah, I sort of had a little regret writing that.

But it always makes for a good debate! ;)
 
I believe he is a person that still holds alot of the black communities problems unjustly on the white community. Instead of leading the black community to rise up and to become something better he instead puts the blame onto non blacks.

No, because then I'd just label him stupid, because it's not an issue the President should get involved in.

Also, since the arresting officer was correct, then for the first time ever, the Messiah would have said something right.
 
He's overly-PC, which is not racist, but it's very, very close.

I'm sure it wouldn't be the first time.

IMO, absolutes are never correct.

Edit: except that one.
 
I highly doubt it.

His VP is a Irish Catholic.
His SecofState is a WASP.
His advisors are Jewish.
His Def Sec is a White Republican.
An Italian as CIA chief.
Nominated a Puerto Rican to the Supreme court.
His mother was white.

I'm not racist in the slightest.
