Why am I called racist for not liking President Obama?
I'd say that you're pretty much in touch with what's going on in this country. Very much unlike most 13 year olds.
If you don't like Obama, are you racist?
Why do you dislike President Obama? Some equate a Democrat with Satan. If you are in that boat then you really need to decide why you hate half of the United States but claim to be a patriot. If you dislike President Obama because of his policies then you can debate the pros and cons of the issues and you have a good reason to have voted for another person. Please evaluate if you really can debate the issues or if you can just shut down a conversation. To be able to debate takes great skills and knowledge. If you dislike President Obama because you do not agree with his religion then you are not a Christian. That is not a racist just not a Christian. This is true because President Obama says he is a Christian and chose to be a Christian. If you do not like other Christians when you claim to be a Christian then you need to read Christ’s teachings again and pay attention to the Pharisees and Scribes. If you are do not like President Obama because he was not a US citizen then yes you are a racist because he is as much a US citizen as Ted Cruz except President Obama was born in the US instead of Canada.
Is it racist to not like Obama because he is a horrible president?
I will respectfully say that while you yourself are not racist i know quite a few who don't like Obama b/c he's African American. Some from my own job. I have overheard some of my co workers saying they didn't want a n President. Yes while he's not been a great President Bush wasn't any better. I know you may disagree with me but why wasn't the Tea Party created until Obama was elected President? And despite their denials i believe many of them are racists especially with the pictures they display of Obama. Long story short all i will say is that Bush led this country to the worst recession since the Great depression b/c he looked the other way while Wall St & the Banks abused the system & led this country to the situation it's in now. How is that Obama's fault? Bush was the one who led this country into debt thanks to his war of lies & deceit in Iraq for supposed weapons that where never found & the other lie that Saddam was involved with 9/11. Again yes Obama hasn't been great but he has done more to help the poor & middle class than Bush has ever done. Only in America is it considered wrong to give Health care to every citizen. And before I'm accused of being a Lib I'm not. I'm a Moderate who didn't like when Clinton was in office either. And I don't always buy into the division factor that many news Stations like to do these days whether it's CNN, Fox News or MSNBC. They do nothing but cause division, & dislike among people. That's just my point of view. Edit: I will agree Obama has spent a lot of money. Only thing i will say as well is that it's going to take more than 1 term in my opinion to fix the damage caused by some of our past Presidents. No matter who's the next President should Obama lose next election they won't fix things overnight either.
Is Oprah Backing Obama Because He's Black?
then why isn't she sharing any support with Clinton.It would be a change too,and with keeping everything in mind,i think Hillary is a much better choice,not because shes a woman,not because shes white,but because shes had experience in the white house,and politics.Were not living 70 years ago,its 2007.Everyone needs to grow up and stop with the racism.Its just getting old now,i understand what happened to blacks many years ago was horribly wrong.It doesn't happen in todays society,and there is a reason for it,because its wrong,we ended it.Even more so,say our ancestors thousands of years ago,they used to resort to cannibalism. Do you think they were racist?Do you think they attacked based on color?I know im rambling on and on.But the racism issue needs to end.There are whites,blacks,asians,arabs,mexicans,cana... In the United States,we need to think as a Civil Society,not a color map. If your still that obsessed with colors,go back to elementary school art class!!!!!
I think my white American boyfriend is a racist, he hates Obama?
He's a student in Edinburgh University and he hates Obama so much some of the stuff he says about him is crazy like I think he is nuts, and I don't see why anyone could hate Obama and like Bush unless he is a racist, my boyfriend likes Bush. He is 19, he's a nice guy but he is crazy with the politics. Do you think he's racist deep down?
Have you changed your mind regarding voting for Obama?
No. I am an Obama supporter all the way. Once you go Barack you don't go back. FYI. Obama's Church: Trinity United Church of Christ have all different nationalities attend his church. This church wouldn't be on the radar if Obama wasn't a member. My vote is for Obama. I think he can take America in a different direction. I don't want another eight years of Bush's policies and that what we will get if Hilary or McCain are president. All this smear tatictics is the only way for the other candidiates can win. You have to remember that black people were not allowed to vote just 43 years ago. The media, Looney Right, FoxNews etc will do anything they can so Obama will lose this election.

Question That Contains Assumptions: Why is it racist to dislike Barack Obama, but not Dr. Ben Carson?
I'm not certain why so many are willing to label Dr. Carson as unprepared or under qualified to be president. Political experience is vastly overrated by pundits; real-world experience, common sense, and integrity are the traits I look for in a candidate. Unfortunately, and paradoxically those traits often place at a disadvantage those who would seek to lead but lack the credentials of a seasoned politician.I have met Dr. Carson and know him to be an honorable man who wants the best for all Americans. He is homophobic only in the imagination of the uninformed. This man is highly respected, not just for his intellect and skill, but for his compassion, thoughtful demeanor, and calm, well-reasoned solutions to difficult problems. His greatest sin was having the boldness to speak against the hypocrisy of the current president.The Left would be considerably less offended by his words if Dr. Carson possessed different pigmentation. It is his skin color that makes him a greater threat to Liberals, and virtually assures that, should he be so fortunate as to secure the nomination or a place on the GOP ticket, the vitriol aimed his way would be far more defamatory than if, say, Jeb Bush gets the nod. Clarence Thomas was opposed by the left for exactly the same reasons Dr. Carson is, and will continue to raise the ire of the NYT. They have left the plantation. (LBJ: "I'll have them Negroes voting democratic for the next 200 years!") If that attitude doesn't qualify as paternalistic, condescending racism, then nothing does. As for the hatred directed at Obama, I can think of no one who despises him more than Bill and Hillary. For all their ideological similarity, the disdain couldn't be more obvious to those who pay attention. Clinton once remarked, "just a few years ago he [Obama] would've been serving me coffee in the governor's mansion." Someone should ask Obama whether he believes LBJ and Bill Clinton are racist. If he answers in the negative, as I suspect he might, that would speak volumes.
If Obama was white would Republicans have liked him then?
Some of the people in the answer section have magically forgotten a lot of shit Obama received during his presidency.Look at that shit. Hell, remember the birther story? All the racist white people complaining about Obama? The republicans that are like that? Hell yes they would've liked Obama had he been white. Those assholes don't really care about politics, they'd pay it no mind. But because a black guy won, they went into overdrive.Now, as for the sane republicans, who did not vote for trump, aren't racist, and actually care about this country? No. It wouldn't have made a difference.Now, let's talk about something crazier.. If Obama had an R next to his name, AND was white, he would've been elevated to sainthood, along with Reagan. Reagan was a completely average president, but among conservatives is hailed as the greatest thing since sliced bread.Hell the craziest thing is, if Obama was a white republican, every single thing he wanted would've been done. No obstruction from congress. He’d be reaching across the aisle to the democrats, our country would've been flourishing.Instead here we are in 2017, Republicans refused to cooperate with Obama the past 8 years because they did not want Obama to look good.I do not understand why anyone would want to be a part of a party whose real leader would proclaim “Our number one priority is to make Barack Obama a one term president.”That is not how governing works.
