Racial division?
 
So, how is it that the President Obama is "promoting racial division"?

I'd really like to know because the notion seems ridiculous to me. However, I have heard this spouted by Republican hacks on manifold occasions and just finished reading an article about Rep. Mia Love (R) Utah, who seems to have made this notion a key element in her rebuke of him.

To me, it appears that his mere presence in the Oval Office has done more to racially divide this country than anything he personally has said or done. And, that wouldn't be due to any action on his part. Rather, it would be the reaction to him, on the part of his opponents......in my humble opinion.

As an aside; I'd think just a quick look around at the faces present during the respective conventions is a good indicator of just which party favors a particular race......Just sayin'.:p

Regards,
Dave

Because Repugnican'ts think his proper place is hiding in the woodpile and not in the Oval Office. Easy, peasy.:rolleyes:

If you ever listen to black radio the answer becomes self-apparent.

Why not offer your own interpretation of what you hear on "black radio"?

Also, do you listen to black radio or just to clips reproduced by some right wing website?

I get a brain-direct feed from Brietbart.

;) I don't do the rightwing sites or TV, outside of Chris Wallaces' Sunday interviews & panel discussions occasionally.

I often listen to Michael Baisden on the way home from work. Interesting subjects, great DJ voice, lots of classic R&B/funk etc. Tired of being called a racist though.

Pete, what is said on "black radio" that establishes that Obama is responsible for racial division?

Would you be comfortable basing your opinion of "white radio" just on Mike Gallagher?

I see I'm the only guy here who listens to it ;)

He is one of the kings of black talk radio and very plugged in politically. Of course he's coordinating with Obama... but wait, I'm making too many assumptions. Who says black folks vote Democrat?

He's almost exclusively an East Coast phenomenon. The only markets he's in west of the Mississippi are St. Louis and Oklahoma City.
