    there you go again...I'm racist...

    Yep anyone who doesn't look at Obama with glazy eyes are RACIST!!

    No matter that many die-hard HRC's supporters are black.

    No matter if I am Asian with black friends.

    Truth is O is inadequate, and had he been white he wouldn't have been where he is now. 90% of AA choose him because of his skin color and his skin color alone even when HRC has a solid track record working so hard for AA community!! She can't compete with him because of the color of her skin, so freaking tell me who's the racist here??

    He has no business running for president with the qualifications he has. None whatsoever, but MSM is in love with the idea of being so liberal and open minded as to electing a black president despite his lack of quality. It is in their narcissism to feel so good about themselves for doing this. Who's the racist here??
