I grew up in the sixties and I've seen true racism.  It was displayed on TV every day.  In my lifetime, I've witnessed it first hand.  I've seen it in history and it's an ugly ugly thing.

But many people today cheapen what is real racism by playing the race card at every opportunity.  Calling Obama a racist is NOT a racist comment unless the comment itself was motivated only by the fact that Obama is black.  That is the single criterion for a racist comment. 

Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton are both racists.  They have shown throughout their careers that they favor blacks over whites AND blacks over truth.   Favoring a black man's position over a white man's position only because of the black man's blackness, is racism. 

Does true racism exist today?  Yes.  I saw evidence of it just the other day.  A black man was attacked by three whites as he walked down a street on his way home.  Three whites in red pickup truck jumped out and attacked him. They yelled racial slurs etc and like a pack of wolves they cornered him and beat and kicked him.  Clearly a racist act.  Caught on tape too and the morons were caught and are now in jail where they belong.

Someone is a racist when they show a consistent pattern of racist behaviors.  Obama is a legitimate target  for criticism of all kinds.  He's a public figure and as such, he is subject to the same rules of engagement all public figures must endure.   I don't think that Obama is a racist, but I do agree with Beck that Obama has huge issues with the white culture.  And Obama clearly wants to restructure America in a way that will disproportionately favor blacks.  That's a fact.  His ideas will clearly favor blacks.  Beck explained this fact and has been consistent on this point.

Notice too that instead of talking about the real problems that Obama is bringing to the US and even the world, notice that instead of talking about the fraud and corruption that Beck and others have exposed, there are those on the net, in the media, and on this forum, that focus on a person and NOT the issues.

That plays right into the hands of the left wing loons.  People ought not to be so easily manipulated.  What's the real issue here?  In the case of ACORN, it's the fraud and corruption of that group.  It's not about the fact that two journalists produced an undercover video. It's not about the fact that Fox played the videos and ran the story.  It's about the fact of Acorn corruption.  People ought to be outraged that a taxpayer funded organization was willing to provide services to people for the sole purpose of promoting underage prostitution.  That's the story.  Wise up folks.
