For those who say Michelle Obama is unpatriotic

Not trying to get preachy with you at all. That's not my place, it was just coming off as if you were saying that Racism was yesteryear.

And no i'm not a minority, i'm white down the line, Mom was raised in Ireland, and my dad's side is all farmer's from alabama.

I'm saying most white people i know will crack some jokes but its not nearly as bad as it used to be. I know just as many if not more minorities are just as racist towards white people, but white people can't pull the race card can we? because thats racist.

You're right it's not as bad as it used to be, things have come a long way indeed. And I'll gladly agree that on the flipside there are minorities that use it a excuse for thier own shortcomings but there is a percentage that are held down, sadly enough, by the color of their skin, sexual preference, religious creed...etc.

Thats what makes me sick when someone claims i don't like black people because i hate obama

If you don't like Obama, that's your opinion and you're more than happy to have it. I just wanted to get a better understand of how the other side sees things in terms of racism...it just so happened that it happened in a political thread.

+1 for this. It doesn't take much time browsing on IA to see that people still have the capacity to hate. Every other post I see some kind of hate for Muslims and gays. Don't think for a minute that racism is over with Just because it is currently not fashionable to express racism does not mean that that racist hate does not exist
