Yes, and how many white liberals saw his color as a major reason to vote him in? To tune out what he was actually saying?

Uh we don't think it is racist or stupid. And I can damn well guarantee that if Herm Cain or Ala Keyes was the 2008 nominee we would not have voted for him, whichdisproves your premise and seves to remind us how laughably thin your ranks are.
I heard plenty of people saying they voted for Obama "because they wanted to see history made". I'm not saying that's how he won, I'm saying that making the statement is inherently racist because the person if voting on color. I also said I would be willing to settle for stupid, because it's not considering the issues.
What your post also helps prove is that liberals are snarky and can't resist the lure of the insult. So by considering 'my ranks laughably thin', I will agree that people of character and morality are getting to be rare in this country.
No it proves that they aren't voting on race. Policy matters. That's not snarky.

If they have a history of dressing up clowns as other political/prominent figures, then no big deal IMO.

Exactly! And, in 2004, when 90% plus whites voted for a white candidate instead of Al Sharpton, that was racism. In fact, given that 90% plus white Republicans have never voted for a black presidential candidate, all of them are racist by definition. Thanks for providing an easy to use "racism metric" PP.
Did all 90% of the white people state right out they were not voting for Sharpton because he's black or is it because they don't like Sharpton's behavior and ideas? Of course you are completely leaving out that element.
Sharp ton didn't get 90% of ANY voter segment. You really don't get this discussion.

I haven't seen the figures lately, but I'm pretty sure the numbers are similar for the percentages of blacks who voted for Kerry, Gore, and Clinton. So blacks weren't racists then, and they are now?

There has never been a time in the history of the world in which 90% of the members of any race stated out right why they were voting or not voting for someone. I can understand why people of color get extremely frustrated by racism. There are whites like you who will insist till the cows come home that you don't have a racist cell in your body. Yet, you unapologetically create different measuring sticks for different races. Black people? Racist because they voted for a black candidate? White who have never even nominated a black man let alone voted for him? Well, we don't really know their motivations because nobody asked them. That, my friend, is racism.

Yeah right. Blacks are racist because they won't tolerate your intolerance.
One of the stars from Duck Dynasty was led out of the hotel he was staying in when he asked where the lobby bathroom was. They thought he was homeless. He's laughing about it.
Notice that there is no DOJ investigation, no outrage from liberals on the stereotyping of this man as homeless, no outrage from conservatives, who also think it's funny (save to make jokes about Bloomberg's 'tolerant' New York).
Racism and stereotyping happen all the time, on BOTH sides. When blacks vote for a man simply because he's black, they are not casting their vote for the white man running against him, because he's white. That's a form of racism.
