[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]When you can't call the man who spent 8 years insisting that the first black President wasn't born in the US a racist without people dismissing you as a far-left liberal loon...exactly how far do you think a discussion calling Republicans greedy is going to go?[/quote]
What does insisting that a person wasn't born in the U.S. have to do with racism?[/quote]

I liked Obama, and voted for him, and I don't care where he was born, but I've honestly wondered the same thing. I keep seeing people just reflexively call birtherism "racist." It just seems symptomatic of the increasingly broad overuse of the term to label basically any stupid comment that a white male says. Birtherism may have been wrong and pointless, but it wasn't racist.[/quote]

Of course it was racist!

Trump was saying that the first black POTUS was illegitimate because he was not born in the US.

Trump didn't accuse any other POTUS in his lifetime of being illegitimate. Only one. The black POTUS. So, I'd say, yes indeed, birtherism is racist. [/quote]
