[QUOTE="JB Books, post: 1967240, member: 6889"] You don't ever have to apologize for your opinions. In all the years I have read your posts on theses sorts of topics, I have never thought you were a racist. I think you are understandably frustrated with the "double standard" that is often imposed when discussing the issue. You've never been mean or petty about it. Not supporting Obama, or even vehemently disagreeing with him, does not make anyone a racist. However, racism has been used against him, particularly by some parts of the Right. No one can reasonably say that the effigies used by some Tea Party members and songs like "Obama the Magic Negro" are not racist. Many people have used their opposition against him as a way to express their racism and then make an excuse that it's simply his policies they are against. [/QUOTE]
