Trust me, I'm not trying to make friends here, but black people voting for Obama in the upper 90 percentages I don't think can be called racist. That's about the percentage they vote for democrats anyway. It would be slightly more telling to look at the percentage of blacks that voted for Obama over Clinton, and I think it was far less.
With regard to what smooth said, there's not much to take issue with other than this.....
"When people like roachboy and myself talk about racism we are not talking about individual actions...as in a black guy and a white guy see each other across the bar and one hates against the other."
If you don't jump on the bandwagon when posts like Paq come up, as did filtherton - your silence makes the quote above sound like bullshit. Anything that can be construed as racist in the 7th degree coming from conservatives is pounced on by your average liberal, when blatant racist comments coming from liberals is ignored. It happens with ridiculous frequency, so I don't see how any of you can say with a straight face, "Racism, at its core, is what concerns me".
To me it sounds like "Conservatism, at it's core, it what concerns me", and racism is a tool that I can use to convince other people of that, because black people overwhelmingly vote for us. It's because conservatives are racist...see, look what he said!
Usuery-ey! If you will. Without the money.
