As Ms. M at work said, "It's not racist to ask the questions that bother you, you may even be passionate because the issue means something to you, it's racist to make assumptions and not ask at all." Then she told me about Obama's church... she happens to belong to a very similar church in Akron.

Ms. M had it right...."its racist to make assumptions." And that is exactly what you did in your post about Obama's church. And you did it in an inflammatory and provocative manner that painted Obama as guilty by association.
"There is no way in Hell I am voting for a man that goes to a church that wants to divide my country further and promotes a race ancestory and foreign continent over my own country....."
People responded to the tone and content of your post. I suspect the responses would have been different if you had simply asked the question without the false and/or biased assumptions.....something to think about for the future.
So, get over it, pan. You werent attacked, degraded, disrespected or treated like shit. Your words were called out for what they were.
