The picture does not say “go back to Africa.”

I’m against birtherism, the picture is distasteful, but in my opinion, STILL NOT RACIST.

From Merriam-Webster-

* Main Entry: racism
* Pronunciation: ˈrā-ˌsi-zəm also -ˌshi-
* Function: noun
* Date: 1933

1 : a belief that race is the primary determinant of human traits and capacities and that racial differences produce an inherent superiority of a particular race
2 : racial prejudice or discrimination

— racist -sist also -shist noun or adjective

Cut the crap. What the hell would constitute racism for you? “Go back to Africa and yes - I mean that in a racist way “?

All you are doing is demonstrating that you will sieze on the slenderest shred of denability to defend instances of racism that are obvious to any decent person who is not invested in giving this crap a pass.
