Obama mentions his family background, and unique experience, and religious affiliations in every important speech he makes. No honest discussion of his qualifications is complete without evaluating the credibility of his biography which he has put front and center.

Anyway Froylein, I think you just admitted to growing up in an abusive home, so perhaps we should go easy on you.

Wrecking and premises are two different matters altogether. I don’t care how a person wants to read a line; given it was out of context, I’ll read it in the context it was put into. That last line-reference, BTW, did not only refer to the last sentence but to the last line. Had I meant “sentence”, I’d have written “sentence”.

Sorry, but I just wanted to point out that “Check yo-self before you wreck yo-self” is almost identical to Ayn Rand’s “Check your premises.” and hardly a threat. And although the billboard has caricatures drawn in a racist fashion, I don’t think any of the points redcake raises qualify as racist. Perhaps slightly conspiracy theory-ish but not racist. In fact, the term racist has practically lost all meaning in our post-racial era. Every criticism about Obama has been called racist by some pundit or other to the point where I expect to be called one or known as one. And yes, it sure as hell matters that Obama has Muslim roots. Not that he can’t physically perform his duties but that he may have bias against the US based on mainstream Muslim cultural beliefs. What’s wrong with saying or thinking that?

It is not racist to wonder, to be critical of Obama and to ask questions. It is, however racist, to make assumptions about his fitness for office and political inclinations based on his family background and alleged religious affiliation. Otherwise hardly any person in the US would be fit to run for office.

That said, if you still don’t get the distinction, you’ve got a lot to catch up in the department of logics.

If something walks like a racist duck, quacks like a racist duck, reasons like a racist duck and holds the same resentments as a racist duck, it’s unlikely to be a swan.

So address the point, already. How is it racist to wonder? How does this make me akin to a Klansman? How can you tie that into a billboard you think is racist, though you can’t articulate why? I mean, do you even know why you’re cheerleading such divisive race-card baiting?

p.s. You’re either culturally vapid, or outright nutty if you think anyone made a threat against you, subtle or not. “Check yourself before you wreck yourself” means evaluate yourself because you’re your own worst enemy. Ask Melle Mel.

Also, you still refuse to see how the billboard sign resorts to prejudices and stereotypes that qualify as racist. It is not questioning anything in a proper manner that could be expected from informed, democratic citizens.

I’ve neither ever pretended Obama didn’t attend a Black Nationalist church nor have I denied any of the consequent matters, so please stop lying so boldly. By doing that, you’ve lost any credibility whatsoever.

I shall also ask you to refrain from subtle threats directed against me (re: your last line).

Not only do I find your line of reasoning nothing worth entertaining myself with but also do I find your English to be substandard and annoying to read from a grammatical and stylistic point of view. I work full-time and do not care too much for spending time on such a pseudo-conversation.

Yet, the billboard doesn’t imply that.

It’s intellectually dishonest to lambast Jews people with a moral equivalency based on a scarecrow argument. It was an indefensible shoddy post.

Froylein, is it because of *prejudice* that you are pretending Obama didn’t attend a Black Nationalist political church?

Is it a *stereotype* to acknowledge that half of Obama’s roots are both Arab, and Islamic? He’s not the child of a family brought to America on a slave ship, and persecuted – he’s the product of privilege, the son of an African exchange student with an Ivy Degree circa the civil rights era, and elite government positions in Kenya.
Is it possible you can’t see beyond the *stereotypes* to acknowledge that?

By the way, none of this is *rumor*, nor is it a *rumor* that Obama made it a priority to give a shout out to Dr. Joe Medicine Crow before addressing the tragic events of Ft. Hood…or that the White House has discouraged even an investigation into the event.

Yet, you think it’s okay to compare someone who questions all this, to a Klansman?
Wow. Who libeling who? Check yourself, before you wreck yourself.
