The racist part of this is that blacks are proud of him and that whites will give themselves a pat on the back and free pass for centuries of abuse of blacks and other minorities who's sweat and blood helped to make this place.I am also Native American. Buy my brand of Native American is Cherokee and Choctaw.
It's racist because Obama is assumed Muslim (read:enemy) by virtue of being Black. My neighbor down the block, also Black, has an Obama sign on his lawn as well. He did not get the little missive. I guess, being Black, he must be Muslim also.
And even if Obama WERE Muslim...SO WHAT?????

This statement is very cleverly formulated. Is this also your own opinion or are you just stating?Our neighbourhood has McCain signs all over it. When people here mention Obama they spit. He's regarded here as highly suspect and possibly in the pay of al-Quaida.

I think assuming Obama is Muslim because he is Black is racist.
(And since communicating in a language others do not know is rude, the first sentence translates as "Hello, Doug. How are you? I understand a little Cherokee.")
Thank you, Doug, for engaging in this discussion. It is a difficult and necessary one.
First, though, I have to say I'm very uncomfortable with the term "Negro." Many persons of African descent find it objectionable.
About terminology and political correctness: A few years ago, during a term I was teaching psych of racism, I had to laugh at myself one day. I was sorting the laundry. I found myself thinking, as I picked up each piece, "White, white, of color, white, of color..." instead of "white, color, color," etc!
I wonder if the same people who now are sending, or believing, or pretending to believe, all the goofy e-mails about Obama being Muslim and the anti-Christ would instead be sending goofy e-mails about McCain being the Manchurian candidate, having been brainwashed and programmed during his extended captivity in Viet Nam.
Doug, we have come at a most difficult topic from opposite sides and come through it as friends. Wa-do, tso-s-da-nv-tli (my brother).
