Maybe You Should Look In The Mirror
I am sick and tired of people calling anyone that does not like Obama a racist. I have been called a racist so much lately it is almost laughable if it wasn't so stupid.
People are allowed to dislike the President and not trust him and that does not make them a racist. I heard no one being called a racist when they spoke against Bush. So why is it wrong to speak out against Obama. Why does that make me a racist.
The color of his skin has nothing to do with my many reasons for not liking him. There may be a few people out there that do not like Obama for the color of his skin. But lets be honest here how many people voted for Obama just because of the color of his skin. Is that not racism also.
And to accuse people of being racist because they do not like Obama is racism itself. So before people go around accusing other people of being racist maybe they should look in the mirror.
What do you think of this story?
