This article is from one of my favorite writers, Walter Williams. My favorite quote from the article has to be, "For the most part, white bigots are no longer respected among whites and I look forward to the day when black bigots are no longer respected among blacks." I think the outright bigotry of some blacks toward whites it the dirty little secret that the left chooses to ignore in discussions about race. And yes, Walter Williams is black....
Is Disagreement with Obama Racism?
by Walter E. Williams
Former president Jimmy Carter said, "I think an overwhelming portion of the intensely demonstrated animosity toward President Barack Obama is based on the fact that he is a black man." That's from a man who earlier referred to Obama as "This black boy" on the Jim Lehrer "News Hour." New York Times social critic Maureen Dowd said, in reference to Rep. Joe Wilson's shouting "Liar" during Obama's address on health care before the joint session of Congress, "Some people just can't believe a black man is president and will never accept it." Washington Post's Howard Kurtz said he "began to suspect that race was a factor for at least some critics when I heard them shouting about 'the Constitution' and 'taking our country back.'" Kurtz asked whether the massive tea parties and other public protests reflect a "distinct discomfort with the country's first black president." House Ways and Means Committee Chairman Charlie Rangel, Rep. Eddie Bernice Johnson, New York Gov. David Paterson, MSNBC's Chris Matthews, and other leftists claim that racism is behind criticism of President Obama.

Americans should disavow and not fall prey to the racial rope-a-dope being played on us by the nation's race hustlers.

Obama himself said it best when he said, "I was black before I was elected President."
Obviously, he couldn't have been elected if racisim was the case.
The race-baiters and race-pimps keep trying to create a problem where there is none. You are correct that we not fall prey to this ridiculous "accusation". Perhaps they should look up the correct definition of "racist"! :)
