[quote=takoma]It sound racist to me also. But styles of speech vary, and it may have been intended to mimic a parent speaking of a wayward child or some other non-racist situation. Perhaps a tactical retreat may be in order, where you say you did not mean to can anyone a racist, just to give a little feedback about how the original statement could be interpreted. Having had very little respect for the job done by his predecessor, I try to have a little empathy for those who dislike Obama. But disparaging each other certainly does nothing to convince anyone of the other viewpoint, and only poisons the atmosphere. So, while I don't defend lack of respect for the office, I think reaching out to the other side may be a better antidote (as was, I think, your original intent.)[/quote]
