Do you believe that opposition to Obama is mostly based on his race

Is opposition to Obama mostly due to his race?

2 half wits don't make a whole wit....:cool:

Truth.

In fact, I would say they make a quarter wit.

Edit: You see, when doing wit math, you must use multiplication.

So, 2 half wits = 1/2 wit X 1/2 wit = 1/4 wit = A quarter wit.

Simple math. :mrgreen:

It has nothing to do with his race. It has everything to do with his racism!
 
Most of the people I hear spouting Anti--Obama crap are racist. So YES!
So you are saying my opposition to the policies of Prez Doofus is racist and it's because he is white and I am black? Gotcha. :roll:

I hate to break the news to you bud, but this is a Democracy. We have elections. Elections matter. If you can not tolerate opinions that are in opposition to yours, I would suggest moving to some remote island. But to say this he is a socialist, and his policies are detrimental, only makes you belong with the Birthers and 9/11 truthers.

Why does it not surprise me to see you say that if you oppose Obama's policies because you believe they're detrimental, you're both 1) anti-democracy and 2) a loon?

I think that's a fabulous, and perfectly illustrative, irony in the same post in which you berate someone for not being able to "tolerate opinions in opposition to yours."

sam_w: If you disagree with Obama, you hate democracy!!!!!
 
Intolerance and bigotry seem to be the new mainsteads of the democrat party.
 
I don't like Obama because he makes me feel good.

And everything that makes me feel good ends up costing me dearly in the end.
 
Except my wives, who ended up costing me dearly without making me feel good.

Maybe you need to find some other "feel good" things? ;)
 
Care to name a few? You know, for credibility sake.



It was a joke. The sad part is that you actually took it seriously.

Sorry but I do find using N word funny. Ever.
 
Uhhh I am a black man so I suppose I am racist against Obama as well? Or am I just a self loathing Negro? :roll:

It has nothing at all to do with the man's race.

I said most of the people "I" (meaning me, myself and I) hear are that way. If you are not a racist? Them MY comment does not apply to YOU. Get It?
 
We are growing even if slowly. One day hopefully the black man can throw off the government/socialist tit and stand on his own 2 feet and say I did it for myself.

What a great day that will be for everyone.

Point Proven:roll:
 
Wow, I was unaware we had so many race baiting fools on this forum.

This racist son of a bitch right?

Now you see, if I would have said that (being white and all), I would have been labeled a racist. The dems use minorities, they do not support them. The longer they hold them down by forcing them to rely on government, the less likely that they will be able to stand on their own two feet and "do it themselves". This is why ramming through government health care is so important. This will force many, many people to totally rely on government, which is the basis for their entire plan in the first place. Boy, I hope I'm not labeled a racist for speaking the truth. :roll:

WTH are you even talking about? The dems USE minorities? Hello! The dem party is the ONLY party that has ever looked out for minorities! Wake Up Dude:(
 
Point Proven:roll:

What point is that?
I think what he said can apply to Blacks/Africans in Europe as well as US.
Difference being inside Europe they have now been tied down virtually by reliance on the state and have no incentive to get off the dole (This also applies to a very large population of whites as well in N)
 
Not the same and you know it:doh

Yes it is.
Either the word Nigger is wrong period or if some blacks can stand calling themselves that, it does not matter if someone else does.
 
Only the US could go all feral over an actuary argument.

Umm. No it is not. Some black folks use that word because they have taking it back from the white males that enslaved em. If you cannot understand that? Not my problem. I do not agree with the word but do understand the point.

It is kinda like some gay folks have taken the hate term faggot back.

Ermm, yes it is.

Its a stupid cop out. Either the word is wrong or it is not. Don't distinguish a difference depending on what colour the person is who says it.

And i use the term fag .... alot ... o_O

On this board, I think most of the opposition is partisan. He's a liberal Democrat who ran on a platform of expanding the scope of government in specific areas and won.

IMO -- too much of the dissent is hyperpartisan and doesn't help conservatives as much as they think because moderates and independents tend to be moderate independent thinkers who like to check out the facts, listen to different views, then decide on an issue.

You can read between the lines on a few posters and sense that maybe they're more upset about the color of his skin, but it's mostly partisan opposition on DP.

Now, go to Free Republic -- yikes!

On another Conservative leaning board -- the opposition is 50/50, partisan/racial. But I'm not saying Free Republic or this other board are representative of conservatives at all. I honestly don't know. I'd say most of the racial stuff comes from the far-right. It's disappointing to see several people on Fox fueling that--Beck very overtly, others more subtle.

I wasn't aware of it at first, but over the past sixth months, I've encountered a number of people who think Obama's victory is all about white guilt. They see every appointment or nomination of a person of color by Obama as affirmative action--an under-qualified person getting a leg up because of their skin color. This is pretty disturbing since the people they're referring to are highly qualified and accomplished professionals.

I guess the first thing we notice about a person is the color of their skin, then what they're wearing and how they talk and act. We all make judgements pretty quick in our daily lives -- it's just odd, for example, when Obama names his new pick for surgeon general to see people not even bother to check her extensive credentials before making assumptions about Obama's reasons for picking her. Again, that really doesn't go on here at DP. But I encounter it enough to know it exists in certain places.

I don't either. But what does that have to do with opposition to Obama mostly being based on his race? Nothing, that's what. So I ask for proof and this is your response? So your statement has no credibility if this is your "proof".

By looking out for them, you really mean taking care of them instead of teaching them to take care of themselves. Blackdog gets it, and oh yeah, he's black (which is a minority the last time I checked). Instead of holding people accountable for their actions, it's far better to coddle them and make them feel "special" right? :roll:
