    Down here in South Florida I'm pretty sure at some point between now and the election I will see one of these stickers. :(

    can't see how anyone whether an Obama supporter or not, can deny that it's explicitly racist

    absolutely amazing that we can not agree that the bumper sticker is inappropriate, racist, and is the work of a racist, and the people that rock that sticker are racist...

    :roll:
    and who said it wasn't

    clearly I was addressing the generalization that birthers are racist
    that is an over the top assumption with no basis...

    again the colors are red and blue with that posters comment
    and that is also a form of prejudice.

    so are you saying that there is not one single racist element or motivation in the birther movement?? not one single person sporting this bumper sticker is racist?

    i am not buying that at all.

    to me, the birther movement is a way to cover up their racism under the guise of trying to take legitimacy away from obama's landslide victory in 2008... just like what happened with some branches of the tea party.

    No I am saying one can not say ALL birthers motives for believing as they do is based in racism
    or that the birther movement is based in that. It is more likely based in red and blue.

    The generalization made by that poster is totally untrue and is based in red and blue
    another form of prejudice, one we see to nauseam here on the board.

    The fact that multiple posters read that someone actually didn't think the sticker was racist
    is a perfect example ... that was never even stated by anyone.

    does this sound prejudiced :?

    I might feel Obama was not born in this country ... does it mean I am racist... NO!
    I don't see his color or anyone's as an issue, I have friends and loves of all colors.

    So you are lumping me with others you call racist and generalizing.

    The colors that you brought up here are red and blue and the hypocrisy continues.

    Well, technically he spoke of those on the right many are racist based on the sticker in this thread . then he said he's looking for the birthers which many on the right do believe. Maybe he can come on and clarify?

    "looking at you" and not for you huge ridiculing difference

    :wtf: because one doesn't like Obama = a racist

    it is blatant red/blue racism ... something many here are guilty of

    funniest part is I'm behind Obama ... most likely gonna give him 4 more to do his thing
    but this red and blue is hogwash and really makes for small unbending minds
    and so much not getting anything done for the people... wait we are the people :?

    Don't do what you hate others doing ... like being a racist ... all you ..... ;)

    edit.... all you not purples ;);)

    By no means racist just if you happen to want to put on a sticker that we speak on your vehicle. Remember I did not vote for the President the first time around...

    Not ALL birthers are racist. I admit that. I stand by my claim that most of the people who refuse to believe or say they don't believe he was born here or refuse to believe he is not Muslim are racist. They are using these as excuses for their hatred that has little to do with anything he's done politically. That's as clear as I can say it.

    Actually Earl I wasn't directing my full post at you and I apologize if that came to you like that.
    It is really for those who can not see their own form of racism that towards the other party.
    It is blinding for them to some degree.

    Of course putting the sticker on your car pretty much advertises you are racist,
    no one here has said the sticker is not racist... again.

    But being a birther or a red does not make one racist toward our President.

    And in my opinion you are wrong about that ... MOST is absolutely incorrect and off base.
    Again far more likely the birther movement is based in red and blue than the color of one's skin.

    Those types of racists are in the minority but you know,
    I'm starting to believe the red and blue racism is just as destructive to our country
    and in the majority ... yikes!

    I'll agree with that. The refusal to work with the other party is truly fucking this country. Btw, I'm neither red or blue fwiw.

    You're assuming I'm a liberal. I voted for Obama but in 2000 I voted for W. In 2004 nobody was worth voting for so I didn't. I may not vote this year either. The fact is that none of the candidates represent me so I don't love any particular color, red or blue.
    ah ... another purple as myself

    then perhaps you can see my point to some degree

    it's okay to disagree with those whose you don't agree with politically. but when you equate ppl with different political ideologies as racist towards those they diasagree with ...it doesn't come off as being clever but rather self-rightous and doing just what you say others shouldn't...casting aspersions.

    when you call ppl of differing polictical views racist it's disingenous and detracts from the seriously imporatant subject of racism and the truly harmful effects it's had and continues to have on minorities in this country

    Arguing for 4 years over whether our president was born in Kenya or a Muslim also detracts from seriously important problems in this country.
