I really don’t see why the comment is racist. Barack Obama was born in America, had some foreign living experience and ran as an American. Michelle Obama certainly gave the opening by referring to Kenya as his “homeland.”

None of this pretty but its the way politics is done. I rather think it would be racist to avoid taking her up on it, just because the foreign “homeland” is in Africa and Obama is bi-racial.

I’ve never heard anyone say “Send ‘em back to Ireland,” or “Send ‘em back to Italy” so no it’s not the way politics is done…
