I just happen to have discussed this with, eh, maybe 30 of these birther people, and to a person they get all worked up and eventually they call Obama a monkey or a nigger or they say the blackhouse or say that Michelle Obama is a black panther or any of the other racist things people say. But to a person it ALWAYS comes out. Some these people I've know for over a decade. And maybe only 5% of them actually admit that, yes, it's racist because they're just not ready for a black man in the whitehouse. After a long discussion with one close friend about this he said exactly that. He went on to say that he tries every day to tell himself "today I won't be racist". This is guy who's hired people of all races and never shown a racist thing to me ever. I was shocked. And he's a huge union guy and a gov't healthcare guy. So we have a lot to argue about :) But this guy also admitted that his embrace of the birther stuff is, at the end of the day, plain ole racism. Now could it be that only these people I've talked are racist and nobody else is? sure. That's your theory. Your faith. I think it's nice that your faith causes you to believe the best of people. I'm jaded. My experience tells me you're faith is misplaced. So my apologies for trying to squash your faith in people's better nature. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Want to reach the ColdFusion community with something they want?
