President Obama Announces the 2012 Launch of African Americans for Obama - YouTube

Is this fair...or racist?

It's things like this that really gets my ire up.

If we decided to have a "Caucasian History Month"...or "Caucasians for Mitt"
...we would be called "racist".

I know that all of you who don't agree with my post will.

Go ahead, I'm ready for it.

Of course it is fair. You always see groups with commonalities coalesce to back certain candidates. Like "Virginians who support banning contraception of any kind and forcing penetrating vaginal ultrasound on women seeking abortion for Santorum."

Go one further, imagine WET (WHITE ENTERTAINMENT TELEVISION)...

Obviously no one has a problem with BET (BLACK ENTERTAINMENT TELEVISION)

just another step in the progression of the majority loses another one!!!

Of course it is blatant racism. Why for example on questionaires or surveys, et al do they ask what race and then list some...the one that gets me every time is when one of the choices is African American and another would be Caucasian. Why African American? Why not Caucasian American?

If I elect to fill in the answer I ALWAYS write in Caucasian AMERICAN and the hilite it!!

Of course it's racist, but nobody's going to call him or the Democrats on it. If you notice the racism they'll call YOU racist. The liberal national media will wring their hands and bemoan your racist diatribe in which you actually noticed the president's racism.

Simply to let you know you are not alone.....of course it is racist..pure and simple. When folks vote for someone because of their skin color, it is racist, EXCEPT IT APPEARS, in the case of our President.

You are right...folks will come on here and call us racists for calling to their attention they are supporting these kind of actions.

This does not dismiss everyone voting whomever they want to vote for, but do you think that the 96-97% of blacks that voted for President Obama did so because of his policies ?

if it was african-americans for Romney would it be racist?

Count on this never happening!! Plain and simple

Can someone actually define "African-American" for me. I've questioned this for a long time and never get a concrete answer. If my parents were from Italy-am I an Italian-American although I was born in the U.S.? If my parents were from Ireland-am I an Irish-American although I was born in the U.S.?-etc, etc. If I were born in the U.S. shouldn't I be American. Surely my parents who were born outside the country should be referred to as ----------/American----- but me???

This never happens. You know why? Because those who would be Republican supporters are just that; Republican supporters. They may refer to themselves in a public dialog as a "black conservative", but they don't need to join a "black group". There are a goodly number of black conservatives involved in the Tea Party movement.

Black liberals organize blacks into racial groups, not conservatives. They promise them goodies aimed at people of their complexion, and tell them there's more where that came from if they would just vote along racial lines for candidates who promote a racial agenda.

This is why the liberals, or Democrats, are the true racist minded political party.

Have often wondered if the great African singer Roger Whitaker who was born in Kenya and So. African Golfer Gary Player became American citizens would they check off African-American and Caucasian? Does President Obama check off African American, Caucasian and Indonesian though adoption? Look at the confusion his daughters will face in the future unless we finally wise up and eliminate the tags and just show American. Isn't it time?

You either dont get it...dont want to get it...or just plain dont care to get it !

As someone, on this forum in 2008, who NEVER ONCE mentioned race as regards to the President's qualifications....NEVER ONCE even alluded to his race, but simply was totally opposed to his politics, his background and his qualifications...I was called a number of times a racist, NOT ONLY ON THE FORUM publicly but in PM's....many of them.....I get it.

Then after 3 years of anytime you oppose the administration, especially on social issues, having that card played not just on here but in the press, I KNOW you dont want to get it.

Actually many people have made that distinction by defining themselves as American-Italian meaning an American with Italian ancestory, etc.

The African-American thing has been out of control for so long that well meaning progressive have not even noticed that their affirmative action program is now redundant..but then they get mesmerized when listening to people like Jesse jackson and Rev Sharpton both of whom do not want to lose their golden goose. But then we have come to expect an "entitlement mentality" from the left. Now there you go as a white conservative I can only express myself with political incorrectness

He condescends from his "erudite" ivory tower to lord over them and talk down to them......and to us "dumb hillbillies" who cling to our Bibles and guns.
