[QUOTE="RedDead1981, post: 57841054, member: 265166"] No, I see what he's saying. He's saying that showing preferential treatment to a black man because of his skin color (in this case, defending him solely because of his skin color) is just as racist as trashing him because of his skin color. Makes sense. But I don't think the whole 'racism' call is as loud or widespread as you (OP) make it out to be. Yes, Tea Partiers have been accused of racist imagery and messages. But mostly because ammunition is freely given. When you see posters of Obamacare portrayed as Obama dressed up as a witch doctor with a bone through his nose, or people carrying on about how the 'blacks will take over', or the birther movement (which, as I have said, would not have gotten [I]nearly[/I] the momentum it did if the President was white with an anglo name and nobody can tell me otherwise) what do you expect people to think? Do I think disagreement with Obama is racism? Nope. But do conservatives often shoot themselves in the foot over it? Yep. Exercise some common sense and realize that certain images and phrases, when leveled against a black president, are gonna come off racist even if that isn't how you meant it. [/QUOTE]
