    lol at narrative. People labeled Trump a racist back in the 80s and 90s well before he ever nutted the idea of running as a GOP candidate.

    A reminder of what a racist looks like although I find it hard to believe a lot of you don’t have mirrors.

    Has Obama ever been sued for housing discrimination based on race and had to settle?

    Has Obama ever made up gross hyperbolic statements like thousands upon thousands" of Muslims were celebrating in the streets of Jersey City on 9/11 pegging thousands of Muslims in Jersey as Terrorist lovers? Did Obama post inaccurate inforgraphics on Twitter that were authored by a self labeled white supremacist group in regards to black on white crime?
    Did Obama exuberantly express in third person his desire to ban an entire religious group from immigrating to our country?

    You and your shitty 6 degrees of separation game would label me as a terrorist lover if I ever ran for political office because I knew of a family that had a son who was tried for organizing a terror plot.

    Obama a racist... The dude was raised by his white mother and grandmother and went to god damn Columbia. He met with prominent black activists due to the nature of his profession as a civil rights attorney. And that somehow magically makes him racist.

    How about this. Instead of using associations to label him racist, what about tangible actions?

    Don't forget:
    • Birtherism
    • Suggesting a black reporter organize a meeting with the Congressional Black Caucus
    • Suggesting an analyst should negotiate with North Korea because of her Korean heritage
    • Wanting a guy with a yarmulke to handle his money instead of a black guy
    • Central Park FIve

    My girlfriend grew up in El Salvador, moved to the US permanently to go to college...she's highly educated, working on her second degree (Masters in Architecture). Beautiful, caring, intelligent woman. It disgusts me when humans are stereotyped based on external labels

    So much for "your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free"

    No welcome "for the wretched refuse of your teeming shore"

    Don't bother to "send these, the homeless, tempest-tossed to me"

    We'll just snuff out this "lamp beside the golden door! "

    My wife came from Honduras and was first to graduate from college. She’s now a teacher (a great one at that). Her sisters are studying for nursing school and law school. They’re some of the hardest workers that I know, and they didn’t receive any freebies.

    A reminder that you can't name one racist thing Obama has done.

    Again we agree: calling people “thugs” is not racist.

    Other than speaking out before all the facts were in and ultimately being on the wrong side on issues like the Ferguson, etc... which helped to fan the flames of racial division that led to rioting and ultimately BLM and the cop killing, no I can't think of a single racist thing Obama did. He had an opportunity to be a great racial uniter yet chose to be a divider.

    speaking out before all the facts are in doesn't make someone a racist or isn't a racist thing. Anything he was wrong about were based on patterns of racism that exist against African Americans and have existed and persisted for a long time.

    So far you haven't named one racist thing.

    It just depends on the context. It could be or it could not be. It isn't always going to be racist, and it won't always be free of racism either.

    What makes you think I was talking about Obama? But you’re right being raised by white folks(Kapernick)and going to Columbia excludes him from being racist. Thanks!
