How I was anti-Obama before all this (I didn't follow Obama before any of this because I had my candidate already (Edwards)), I'd like to see these anti-Obama posts I had out before. You talk about how I need to look at how "privileged I was".
Right now, I have to many questions, no true answers and all I see are attacks on how I am closed minded <snip>

Most of your posts in these threads which were made prior to 3/18 indicate your thoughts about Obama.

My point, though, is that up until now, I'd seen you as very open minded and nonjudgmental. In the past few weeks, something's changed, or this is a side of you I hadn't seen. If you run through all your posts regarding Obama and racism in the past month or so, you'll see they're repetitive in nature. I've watched as a dozen or so well-spoken TFP members have tried to gently get you to see, but you're reading something into their posts that isn't even there.
There's no need for line by line analysis of everyone's post here. It comes down to respecting others' opinions. It may not be so from your perspective, but it feels (to me) as though you're paying lip service to everyone's answers to your questions and ignoring what was said, and responding again and again the same way.
You've been crying that your questions haven't been answered. But if your mind was truly open you'd see that your questions have all been answered in many different ways by some of the brilliant minds we have among us. No one cares if you disagree, or if you don't like Obama. We can and will respect any opinion.
Personally, I'm a Politics lurker because I learn so much from "listening" to you guys spar on the issues. It's much more fun and interesting for me to learn this way. I've always enjoyed reading you, respect you, and often agree with your positions. This time you remind me of a pit bull latching onto the food dish that's been set before him. It's all been given to you (the answers you claim you want) but you're still not letting go. I can't help but wonder what you're really looking for.
