People who voted for Obama are racist

Whats the matter with people? When someone is from another race (white, asian, black etc.) it immediately means someone will start telling that doing something or saying something is racist... I`m sorry, but the people who spark a discussion or anything about something being racist are the real racists. Non-racists should be indifferent because people shoudn`t be threated depending on their skin color.

Given that Alan Keys never made it past the Republican Primary to stand in the general election, wouldn't this argument simply mean that Republicans were racist in 1992, 1996, 2000, and 2004?

I actually voted for him in the primaries back in 2000. I wasn't 18 until after the primaries in '96 or I would have voted for him then too. He's a smart guy, but I think he's kind of gone crazy in recent years. I'm not talking about his aggressive birther stance, but rather his behavior in 2007 and 2008 before Obama got elected. Of course that's all beside the point. Clearly all the democrats calling him names for being a birther are racists just like the people calling Obama a socialist must be racists.

this so dumb.. because someone did or didnt vote for him doesnt really mean that. i know white people who voted for him, and know black people who didnt vote for him. i think the white people who didnt shown that they are really racest then anything

No they just call Alan Keys and other black conservatives "uncle toms", "sell outs", and other ugly names for not being a democrat. Heaven forbid they make up their mind on their own about what party they want to belong to...if htey want to belong to a party at all. Condi Rice and Powell both got called ugly names for having the nerve to be conservatives.

If a black man is Republican, he's not black enough...according to some. See my discussion on Uncle Toms.

Another example would be if lets say you are a white Pennsylvanian who vote for Ed Rendelle over Lynn Swann for Governor in 2006. Another example white Marylander that vote for Ben Cradin over Michael Steele for Senate in 2006. Another example white Ohioans who voted for Ted Strickland over Ken Blackwell for Governor in 2006, are you sensing a tread here.

Okay, I've been on a number of discussions with you (usually disagreeing adamantly) but I've never seen you as a racist. However, I have serious doubts about some of those who agree with you politically. That's the thing about rasicsim. It is insidious as hell. It's something we all recognize but it's still hard to pin down but we know. Someone else said on one of these threads that the Democrats had a long history of racism. Well, they were the party of the South and every damn one of those souther democrat senators voted against the Civil Rights Act. However, that act was passed in the presidency of Lyndon Johnson and with him, the Democrats stated to move away from racism. Frankly, hey ridded themselves of all charges of racism when they ran a viable African American for president of the USA and he won. You can say it's not fair to say for the Republican party to now be tinged with racism and maybe it's not fair, but it's what is and it will remin that way until Republicans speak out against racism. Pointing to Alan Keyes is NOT speakig out. You guys need to denounce racism within your party. It's not good enough to hold up a token black. I admit it is a hard choice but it was hard for Dems to turn over the entire South to Republicans because the racists found a more conducive party but that's what hapened. There is an old expression: "The enemy of my enemy is my friend". That is the thinking that is now binding racists to the Reubican party and until Republicans speak out it will continue. Reality is that hate doesn't have politics but they will bloodsuck on whatever party allows them. Right now the Republican party is catering to their votes. They will drag you down in the end. They always do and no number of token blacks like Alan Keyes and Michael Steele will help.
