re: #156 MandyManners

Are you suggesting that criticizing BHO is racist?

I’m saying that conspiracy theories about how logos for his administration are TEH SEKRIT MUZLIM are absolutely racist.

see, when you associate the scary black guy in office with scary middle-easten guys who are secretly taking over the government, you’re trying to “other” him, using his skin and his name as your foundation. That’s racism. If Barack Obama’s name was Barry O’Brien, and he was a Republican with white skin, freckles, red hair, a pretty white blonde wife, and looked like a skinny Ed Schultz, I don’t believe we’d see maniacs attempting to connect everything in his administration to OMG TEH ISLAAAM. Racism.

Oh, and so you don’t have to waste the time, I’ll just fire your meme bingo back at you. Islam is Not a Race, Lee Greenwood, Amazing Grace, McCarthy Was Right, Google Lizards, Piss Up a Rope.
