I can see my town not allowing a visit to the schools by the president, it would not be due to racism, it would be because here they really buy into the
"Obamanation" theory. He is to some, satan's tool...whoa

Silly as it is to me..I could see it happening here.


Where do you think that concept originated? Racist have initiated it. Whether racists are continuing it or not, the original purpose was almost surely racist.

There was nothing racial about the reasons why parents don't want it to happen. Yes other presidents have talked to the kids. But it wasn't made political.

No other president wanted the kids to wright a paper on how they can help president Obama.

After a hugh uprising about that it was changed to what they can do to make themselves better. Or something along those lines.

I have no problem with him talking to the kids and urging them to do well in school, just leave the polotics out of it.


Racists don't admit it is racial, they create other excuses but none of them hold water. He is not doing anything that has not been done before.

It has to be racial, there was never any hoopla before now, now we have a non white president.


The only thing I see here that is racist is your own statement. You have no idea why the parents protested and immediately assume it is because he his black... prejudice based on race = racism.

BTW, you making a comment on others' ignorance like that is like the pot calling the kettle black.

because someone doesn't like this president then the only conclusion can possibly be is they are racist??? seriously??? the race card has been thrown around so much I almost want to duck and cover.

I know a lot of schools aren't allowing it because of political differences (just like with past presidents) and they let the parents decide if they want the kids to watch it. the only time I have heard it being played in school around here is when the teacher records it for a government class in high school.

I saw on the news today (local news) about the tea parties and they interviewed a black man who was against BHO...is he racist too? Good thing Hilary Clinton wasn't elected because anyone that doesn't like her would be accused of being sexists as well

it is not racial nownoway

Obama like all other presidents before him wants to speak to the kids in school here and some parents have an issue with it. So much so that they are petitioning the schools and threatening to keep the kids out of school because of it.

What is the only difference from Obama to all other presidents before him? It is not that he is Democrat or Liberal so there is only one option available after that.

I still cannot believe the ignorancy that still exists in this country.grumble noway huh rant

As a president it is his right to speak to students about education and other important issues . Those who oppose a president to address schools are a bunch of morons to say the least . Nowadays schools have many problems including proper funding, violence, drugs and under achievement....etc . Although I am disappointed in Obama by not keeping his promises for real change; I see him as a highly educated achiever man .

I dont dislike the man. I dislike his ideals. I dont even know him. I cant stand what you stand for Dragoness. I dont hate you. Alot of people of a different color did not like Bush were they racist? I never once thought they were. Even though it is possible that some of them were. If they use racial slurs or the like then there you have it. But simply to disagree with him we cannot make a blanket statement regarding there intentions. Thats dirty pool. Wrong for me wrong for you. Be fair. Be honest with yourself.

One thing I can say is that since Obama has been in office, my job has been much more secure. I still don't like him though. Does that make me racist?

Don't feel bad. My town has a church on every corner, and a very low level of education. Their main source of news is Fox Rush and Glen Beck. I don't have to tell you how they think...

Lucky for me though, we actually do have rednecks for Obama. Not all rednecks are racist believe it or not, though so many are it's hard to find the ones that are not.

I'm not going to comment on the particular reply but...

The problem is that there is still so much racism and people that will absolutely not accept this president for his race, that it's hard not to notice, especially if you live in a state this is actually quite racist.

what I have notice since Obama won is that people are not being polite about what they feel about this president where they might have been before he won because they never expected he would.

It's about class...not color... his policies are why his approvals are at historic lows...there's an old joke...how do you know when you've won an arguement with a Liberal ?...they call you a racist...

Well..if racist then racist against evil people. They really believe he is an evil man...has nothing to do with his color.

I know a lot of rednecks that aren't racist. But I know of some blacks that the only reason they voted for BHO was because of his race. they had no clue about his stances...only his skin color. racism exists in all races but that doesn't mean everyone is racist either just because they don't like the president. there are ugly things said about gender, race, religion, etc. it happens and will always happen. people have the right to their opinions whether I agree with them or not. I don't like people disrespecting or generalizing though...because you can't say EVERYONE because you haven't met everyone or all or none. Just like always and never aren't true because they haven't happened yet.

I've seen many of the same people yelling racism but have no problem trashing someone for their religious beliefs. to me it's all the same

because someone doesn't like this president then the only conclusion can possibly be is they are racist??? seriously??? the race card has been thrown around so much I almost want to duck and cover.

I know a lot of schools aren't allowing it because of political differences (just like with past presidents) and they let the parents decide if they want the kids to watch it. the only time I have heard it being played in school around here is when the teacher records it for a government class in high school.

I saw on the news today (local news) about the tea parties and they interviewed a black man who was against BHO...is he racist too? Good thing Hilary Clinton wasn't elected because anyone that doesn't like her would be accused of being sexists as well


I personally just think we are pretending that much of this is NOT about Race when it is. Many are using the excuse that they just don't like his politics so that they aren't called racist, but that said, my concern is that people don't seem to respect the voters choice. Because some folks didn't get the pres they wanted, that means those that did choose this president shouldn't have him as president? Getting tired now so I hope this makes sense.

If Hilary would have won, we would not have near this level and variety of complaints as we have with Obama.

I have also noticed that the Blacks that do not like Obama are mostly religious conservatives, anyone else notice that? No they are not racist, but blacks don't have to be racist to have a problem with Obama, besides there is enough white against black racism they don't need to join the fray. Blacks that do not like Obama mostly are religious conservatives or lean right and or dislike liberals for the same reasons other groups do.

That is I am seeing so far...

Do some protest too much? The concept that racists are initiating much of the propaganda to "hate" Obama for "legitimate" reasons is not very far fetched at all.

The point of this post is noone protested any other president speaking to their children in this country before now and all of them have done it. Even talking politics with the students was considered a great thing by Reagan and Bush Sr. There were democratic presidents who did it, there were liberal presidents who did it, noone protested then but now it is an issue?

It is obvious what is happening here and it is terrible that the schools are even going along with the racist parents.

I don't doubt with some are racists...but to classify everyone as racist because they really don't like him for his politics??? it's insane to me. I don't like him for his politics...nothing more. I don't know the man personally and have nothing personal against him. I don't like most politicians for that matter regardless of race or gender.

maybe were you are blacks that are against BHO happened to be religious. not where I am.

it gets old with the race card being thrown around (and it does a lot) or blaming a religion. not everyone is the same

what he has to say is probably...anti-American Van Jones...Rev Wright...type of stuff...the fact that we can't see what he's going to say sends out red flags as in Communism...lol

maybe you missed my post where I said the other presidents weren't shown in my areas schools either.

it seems to be only obvious to you and a few others.

I don't like the guys politics...that is why I have a problem with him. call me racist and you will get an earful. it's not about protesting too much. it's standing up for yourself when people say things like if you don't like BHO then you must be racist

I guess that doesn't apply here since I am not a liberal. And besides that of course that type of analogy would be made so people would not look at the possible racism going on.

maybe it's where I live. the racists people that I hear from around hear don't hide the fact that they are racist because they see nothing wrong with it (which goes for all races)
