    I don't think calling someone a bigot is name calling. And when you're the recipient I think it's justified. And I said tallonver is a coward. That's not really name calling if you ask me.

    I guess you're scared to answer the questions. They're not a trap, I swear.

    If it makes you feel better I'll let you claim whatever it is you're claiming.

    My president is black.
    Zimmerman's going to jail.

    Deuce.

    hate to break it to you but he's half white/half black (you seriously didn't know that??). Obama had to hitch his wagon to Jeremiah Wright to gain acceptance in the black community. Of course then he shamefully turned his back on Reverend Wright when it became a political negative for him.

    He's got nothing on you and your election meltdown.

    THAT was epic!

    I was talking to my black friend (you know the ONE that PROVES I'm not a racist... :grin:) after the election and we were laughing about all the investment in Obama being black.

    He's 50% black-- mostly only a genetic contribution. That means he's 50% white. He was raised by a white mother and grand parents. Grew up in Hawaii rather than the Hood... yet he's only a Black President!

    When he waled into any business, store, library, school room he was seen as black. The interaction he had that helped shaped him was in part based on that. Not surprising that you'd miss this.

    What does color have to do with it anyway? I personally could care less if he was purple. I care about their policies, not their race. I get really tired of all the racist labeling that seems to go with disagreeing with Obama.

    So you're completely invested in the superficiality of Barack Obama?

    I'm not invested in anything, but I realize that people's interactions help shape who they are. Barack had the interactions of a black person. I don't know what the hell you're talking about.

    Well a person's race is part of who they are. Unless someone acts in a racist way, then there is no reason to call them racist even if they disagree with the President.

    Being 'Black' isn't so much as a genetic thing in America, it's a social thing. I also find it odd that you say him being 50% black is also only a 'Genetic contribution' as if all black people grow up in the hood? Alright then.

    Halle Berry and Alicia Keys would also both claim to being black because that was how they were treated as growing up.
    With biracial people they will claim what they will claim, it's pointless to argue that they are not black or white. They usually have a pretty good reason as to why they are claiming what they are claiming and it is usually because they were treated that way growing up.

    As far as I am concerned, we are all part of the human race and the "racist" term is used very liberally when describing people who disagree with the President.

    I get a kick out of the purple people argument. It's like the some of my best friends are black argument. It's an auto roll eye inducing, Archie Bunker'esque comment.
