My wife was watching one of those all women talk shows and the discussion was about use of the "n" word. This black women, one of the five on this show argument in response to a white person criticizing black rappers use of this word was that the "n" word belongd to black people and only they were allowed to use it. Huh?
Through political correctness people such of this have been able to manipulate any situation to fit their argument.
Racism is an issue in the Obama Administration because guys like Eric Holder and David Axelrod thrive on it because here is another excuse to explain Obama's failures. It always has to be someone elses fault or something.
Remember it was Obama who invoke racism with the Professor Gates situation and that of Tray Martin. It was Holder via Obama that ignored indicting the new black panther participants who assualted white voters.
Finally just because someone is a racist doesn't mean their opinion of Obama's ineffectiveness is wrong

I do not agree with your posting at all.
First, your attempt at sarcasm in the first paragraph was very poor.
Secondly, groups of people can use a word to describe others of the like group among themselves that is not appropriate for others to use. For example, a black person would be criticized for using the term "poor white trash" while white people use it and are not criticized.
Thirdly, racism is not used by the Obama administration to explain "failures". The major issues on the table are the economy (handed down by Bush), healthcare (passed but not liked by tea party), Afghanistan (not a racial issue), and jobs (on the upswing). Your example of Obama stating a white officer and black Harvard professor was racist is not true but his proposal of getting together over a beer was a good idea. We should all remember to try that approach. Obama only said that if he had a son, the son would look like Travon Martin. That is not racist.
If a person wants to criticize the president for job performance, that is their right to do so. Keep it on job performance and keep race out of the equation just like you said and there is no problem.
