Don't like Obama - you're probably just racist!

"Oh, I'm just guessing. This is just off the cuff. I think 45 to 65% of the people who appear at these groups are people who will never be comfortable with the idea of a black president," Cynthia Tucker of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution said.

Seriously, how can you talk about people marching/demonstrating in objection to HEALTHCARE plans and turn it into a RACE issue and then go further by dragging Palin into it??? let the race card go and stop with the Sarah Palin comparisons!!! let's look at FACTS of this plan and WHAT people are upset about!!!

  • I agree with you!!!

    Last week I saw someone from the White House being asked about the protests to the Healthcare plan and she said "that is the life of the first African American president"....... like the reason why people are against it is because he's black, ugh

  • anon - you must not see the question because you don't want to! if you saw beyond those lame excuses, you'll be left speechless, and (gasp) maybe even agree with some of the protesters!

  • If someone was threatning my family and they happened to be black I would never say "never mind, he's black, I'm just going to keep quiet so no one thinks I'm racist!". Heck no, it wouldn't matter if they were black, white, red, purple or green, you even think about messing with my family and it's on! If the President of the United States is making decisions that I feel are bad for my family and for my country then once again I'm not just going to be quiet because this president happens to be black and I don't want to be labeled a racist. It has nothing to do with race!
