Why is it ok for Obama supporters to assume I am racist for not supporting their guy?

Question

But they get bent out of shape when someone suggests that they perhaps are sexist for not supporting Hillary

Answer 1

unfortunately, there's going to be a lot of that going on between now and november. they are going to try and brand everyone who doesn't vote for obama as a racist. there has always been labels placed on people of every race, color and creed. we've all heard them, we all know them. there are good and bad in every race, color and creed. bad is bad and to me that's where it stops. if someone rapes a woman or child i don't care what color they are, same with a murderer. there was a case of a black man being tied to the bumper of a truck and dragged to his death a few yrs. ago in tx. i think the ones that did it deserve the same sentence. same with the white female teachers who have had affairs with their students, why aren't they in jail? a man doing the same thing certainly would be. name calling is not helpful, it doesn't solve anything, it doesn't unite. lumping everyone into one category is not only wrong it is also not true. no 2 people are alike.

Answer 2

I am a Obama supporter and I wouldnt automatically assume you're racist if you didn't support him (even though that is a huge reason people DON'T support him.)  I don't see him as a black man, I see him as an intelligient future leader who very well may restore America's faith in our politcal system, and not to mention our constitution.

Answer 3

Iraq. Obama didn't support it. Iraq is ruining this country economically, politically, humanely! going against Obama means you support the war, supporting the war means you support violence against innocent people, Why would you support violence against innocent people? Why you would you go against the only candidate against a soul-crushing war? Being anti-Obama has more to do with than just being a racist, being anti-Obama means you wish self-destruction for all of humanity, do you really want that?

Answer 4

Because you're white.... and everybody knows that whitey is a racist.

And all men are sexist..... and all Mexicans are illegal and lazy... and all blacks are on welfare and steal....

etc......

Racist is a term that has been so overused in this election that it has lost all meaning.

Answer 5

It's a way of "guilting" you into voting!

The rest is hypocritical nonsense.

Answer 6

They could vote Green instead of for either Obama or Clinton

The issue of Global Warming or Urban Growth instead of Racism could be asked. The Media has not done so it is to blame. Uraban Growth can harm Small Towns . There is a way to stop such by appling techniques in a book by DR.Bartlett.

Answer 7

Because racism trumps sexism in the game of politics.

And besides, no non- racist  white person would withhold support from Hussein Obama just because he's inexperienced, belonged to a bigoted church for twenty years, is an elite snob and can't bowl to save hs life.

Answer 8

I can not support him because of what he stands for.  His "change" idea is not what it is cracked up to be.  It comes down to the fact that his idea is for socialize government and it being involved in everything in a persons life. The taxes that he wants to raise, the legalization of the illegal immigrants, continued free health care for them and free schooling for them instead of having them go back to their country and entering this country legal.

If they are here because of being persecuted then yes allow them in and let them stay.

Him saying that we should allow the U.N. and other countries to tell us that we can not have this type of car, his speach in Oregon, and that we need to get rid or I should say that those who own guns legally are somehow now a good citizen.

I listen to his speaches and they are good but I want something more than a good speach I want substance!

Answer 9

I think many on here are being racist by the things they say, but as long as you don't make it a racist thing you have the right to vote for whoever you want. I know of a few black people who supported Hilary, so it is more of non-blacks I see making it a race thing. Read the comments. However, I am not. OBAMA 08
