My interpretation is that he's being incredibly racist...against blacks A Deathwatch Guard Send a noteboard - 19/07/2013 11:52:37 PM

After all, the way it sounds to me is that he's saying black people, by virtue of their skin color, are completely interchangeable. What do personality, intelligence, grades, and views matter when anyone could be anyone else, as long as they have similarly colored skin? If that isn't racist, I don't know what is.

Not to mention incredibly stupid and divisive.

I think you're right MrFarstrider - 19/07/2013 11:54:41 PM 616 Views
From the litlle I heard on NPR I had a couple real problems with it random thoughts - 20/07/2013 12:53:40 AM 620 Views
Would he just shut up about it already? *pukes a little in mouth* *NM* everynametaken - 20/07/2013 04:20:07 AM 271 Views
Yeah. As someone who voted for Obama and would do so again, this is embarrassing. Ghavrel - 20/07/2013 10:10:53 AM 544 Views
Ditto. Except I didn't vote for him a second time. everynametaken - 21/07/2013 01:34:54 AM 634 Views
Does it matter now? Martin is still dead and Zimmerman will stay free. It's over. Tom - 20/07/2013 04:24:43 AM 557 Views
It makes a great deal of difference MrFarstrider - 20/07/2013 04:40:55 AM 596 Views
C'mon guys. It's sounding very "I'm not a racist, I swear!" in here. nossy - 20/07/2013 03:32:08 PM 732 Views
I can't like your reply enough. *NM* Rebekah - 20/07/2013 03:42:00 PM 285 Views
"I am not a racist I swear it" is what we are reduced for not agreeing on race random thoughts - 20/07/2013 04:44:52 PM 582 Views
No. As I'll say to Isaac in a minute, I'll apologize for lumping everyone in nossy - 20/07/2013 08:06:49 PM 568 Views
for me his about what will work not what is fair random thoughts - 22/07/2013 06:06:13 PM 651 Views
It has to be both. Period. Nobody will accept someone else trying to change them nossy - 22/07/2013 07:29:15 PM 607 Views
sorry I don't see where he says a change in behaviour is part of the solution random thoughts - 23/07/2013 06:29:16 PM 529 Views
He did not talk about the case nossy - 23/07/2013 07:32:44 PM 544 Views
A touch over the top don't you think? Isaac - 20/07/2013 05:20:21 PM 555 Views
One comment, maybe. If anyone has taken offense nossy - 20/07/2013 09:09:45 PM 583 Views

You just EXACTLY quoted the point I was making MrFarstrider - 20/07/2013 06:04:25 PM 631 Views
Em... not so sure I did. nossy - 20/07/2013 10:19:54 PM 486 Views
I think he's wrong for continuing to talk about it, and doing so in this manner A Deathwatch Guard - 21/07/2013 06:59:11 AM 664 Views
We will also have to agree to disagree. nossy - 21/07/2013 10:25:13 AM 671 Views
There are more important things for him to be focusing on, I think. That said, I think you're right. *NM* Ghavrel - 21/07/2013 08:16:34 AM 271 Views
There will always be something "more important." *NM* nossy - 21/07/2013 10:25:46 AM 247 Views
That's specious reasoning. Ghavrel - 21/07/2013 12:02:17 PM 521 Views
It is if you sidestep my point. nossy - 21/07/2013 05:15:19 PM 503 Views
I am of two minds on the issue. *edit* Avendesora - 21/07/2013 02:04:48 PM 557 Views
Well, that's good. I feel like I'm working on 3 or 4 at this point. nossy - 21/07/2013 05:41:21 PM 620 Views
People do forget that he's only half black - and more importantly, not "African American" at all. Legolas - 21/07/2013 07:08:28 PM 515 Views
I'm one of those annoying people who corrects others with "biracial". Avendesora - 22/07/2013 08:03:10 PM 641 Views
That's not appropriate. Obama identifies as black. *NM* Ghavrel - 23/07/2013 06:22:06 AM 304 Views
So do lots of white kids. nossy - 23/07/2013 08:50:12 AM 479 Views
It is the truth, though. Ghavrel - 23/07/2013 06:30:53 PM 541 Views
I do not agree. nossy - 23/07/2013 07:06:33 PM 565 Views
Because he has publicly said that he has lived the life of a black man. Ghavrel - 24/07/2013 06:12:27 AM 478 Views
I'm not saying he hasn't. In fact, I've said too many times in this thread that he has. nossy - 24/07/2013 08:21:04 AM 653 Views

I know, and I find that weird. Avendesora - 23/07/2013 12:57:39 PM 576 Views
This is a complex issue. Avendesora - 23/07/2013 01:09:00 PM 496 Views
Because he looks black, he's been treated like a black person. Ghavrel - 23/07/2013 06:28:41 PM 494 Views
Yes nossy - 23/07/2013 07:11:54 PM 655 Views
Re: Because he looks black, he's been treated like a black person. Avendesora - 23/07/2013 11:31:03 PM 489 Views
Yes, Obama was raised by white people. Wikipedia says so, so it must be true! *NM* Macharius - 24/07/2013 04:16:31 AM 281 Views
Perusing. Avendesora - 24/07/2013 04:02:53 AM 552 Views
That makes sense. Generally, though, one should go by whatever the person in question identifies as. *NM* Ghavrel - 24/07/2013 06:13:28 AM 265 Views
I noticed the press wasn't aboard with idea when it came to Zimmerman random thoughts - 24/07/2013 12:49:00 PM 524 Views
Which is silly, because anyone can be racist. You are right, though. *NM* Ghavrel - 24/07/2013 10:32:55 PM 257 Views
No, only white people can be racist. /sarcasm Macharius - 25/07/2013 04:38:13 PM 552 Views
No, not really. Ghavrel - 26/07/2013 07:40:45 AM 485 Views
I've thought about this a lot recently (prejudice + power = racism). nossy - 26/07/2013 10:36:16 AM 735 Views
so some liberal ivory tower racist redefined the word to mean they were no racist random thoughts - 26/07/2013 01:16:48 PM 545 Views

No, probably not. ironclad - 21/07/2013 10:01:36 PM 536 Views
Its unfortunate you see us the way you do MrFarstrider - 22/07/2013 06:05:30 AM 608 Views
So Obama smoked weed, punched school bus drivers, and got arrested for theft? Anonymous2000 - 21/07/2013 05:10:26 AM 521 Views
