“Barack a2 + b2 = c2 Obama” is your best one yet.

Yeah! I’m only here for the middle names,
and the beer,
and the food,

and the Guns.

Ironically, racism is color blind.

After all, Democrats are some of the staunchest, strongest, and most single-minded supporters of governmentally-mandated discrimination, otherwise known as “affirmative action”.

Next thing you know, though, they will start declaring that calling anyone “black” is racist… Oh wait…

And I do understand that he is very liberal but I feel like he is intelligent enough to make compromises when the situation calls for it.

I just can’t vote for a Republican. The last 7 years has pretty much cured me of that habit. Once I really started watching what they did instead of listening to what they said I realized that I had spent years being duped.

Obama could shake this thing up a bit. Plus I am sick of seeing the same faces for the last 30 years. A vote for Hillary or McCain is a guarantee of the same ol’ shit going forward.

It is worth it to me to roll the dice. If Obama loses it won’t be because I was not willing to give him a shot.

And for what it is worth I am a 50 year old white guy who was born and raised in the North Georgia mountains. And I will put an Obama sticker on my truck (if he wins the nomination) even if it means I get my tires cut

yes, but crazy old white guy will probably do the least amount of damage.

It’s pathetic when it comes down to who’s gonna do the least damage to the country. How I do miss the “this guy looks like he’ll do a BETTER job than that other guy” times.

It’s good to know that there’s no meaningful history of whites in the US calling grown black men “boy” as a means of disparaging them and putting them “in their place.”

And thats similar to stating this particular comment means that 100% positively in the affirmative there can be no doubt? I think not.

It’s not ignorance. I just don’t throw around accusations of racism willy-nilly.

It’s good to know that there’s no meaningful history of whites in the US calling grown black men “boy” as a means of disparaging them and putting them “in their place.” As our commenter Ted (who, by the way, almost always takes your side in allegations-of-racism arguments) put it:

There is significant history of whites, especially southern whites, using the word “boy” in a derogatory manner when addressing black men. That is an indisputable fact. Not “good old boy”, not “old boys network”, not “my wife gave birth to our third boy last night”, but “boy”, when referring to a man.

Put another way, grown black men do not like to be referred to as “boy” by white people. Doubt it? Try it yourself and you will see.

In sum: your ignorance of (or willingness to ignore) racial history is not the same thing as absence of racial history.

And voting for McCain because he is a crazy old white guy is just plain stupid.

[chorus]Hi retro, welcome to the group!

Voting for Barack Star Trek III: the Search for Spock Obama _because_ he’s black is also racist…

Voting for the Hildebeest _because_ she’s female is also sexist…

Wow. Missed that one.

So when can we expect Alicia to speak out against musical expression and advocate that those in the gangsta-rap genre to turn in all of the money they have made in the music industry?

ps…you can say “black” (instead of plack), I won’t think of you a racist!

How dare you put Cpt. Kirk’s middle name there!

No shit. God I want this election to be over already.

there really is real racism but none of this is it.

the eternal refrain of the white conservative.

He calls Obama an Anti-Semite because he has advisers who support a two-state solution; he calls him a bigot because he says people are bitter; and he gets morally outraged when people make fun of his comments? Puh-leaze.

Guess he never heard of Eminem.

I better seek a diversity program, because I intend to pick the lesser of 3 evils and vote for McCain instead of Hitlery and Barak “supercalifragilisticexpealidocious” Obama. I must be racist.
