    The Index of Racist Potential?

    *facepalm*

    Someone needs a waaaaambulance for the professionally offended/outraged.

    Oh, and as far as question #1, nobody is “stereotyping” Obama when they say he’s misleading and prone to criminal activity. They’re stating a FACT. Color has nothing to do with it.

    Let em play the race card into oblivion. These over sensitive race carders really believe it is the early 1960s and Bull Connor is waiting on the sidewalk by the segregated water fountain with a fire hose.

    99% of what the left deems racist is simply the difference between a culture of victim mentality vs non victim. Anything c/b characterized as racist from a victim perspective and usual is. We hoped Obama would lead us toward a deeper understanding of this. But…, sadly , he just uses it to his political advntg.

    I gave a lot of likes to the top comments but I don’t want to register and log in to leave a comment. I’ve already received 3 Obama Birthday contribution solitications today, so I’m not giving out my contact info to any more lefty websites. Though I did enjoy replying back to the Obama people telling them to drop dead.

    Nice little game they got going.
    Call blacks shiftless, lazy criminals and say that it is racist to advertise as such because everyone knows that they are such. And they call us racist.

    “What makes pro-Romney ads potentially racist is that Obama is black ”

    I think we have a thread winner in their comments section:
    “Call me when Romney has a section of his campaign site called “Caucasian Americans for Romney”

    The “index of racist potential”. Indeed. My brain refuses to process that absurd pseudo-mathematical reasoning! It is like asking for the square root of yellow or how many cubic lumens are in a gallon of time. What poppycock.

    Funny how an article about bias and stereotype is, itself, steeped in very thing it claims to expose.

    The first premise:

    “….Does the ad reference a longstanding racial stereotype historically associated with African-Americans? Does it state or suggest that President Obama is untrustworthy or prone toward criminality? Does it imply that he takes advantage of the system or is lazy?….”

    To which I ask, “Are no whites considered untrustworthy or prone to criminality, or lazy or implied to take advantage of the system?”

    Why is your focus ONLY that blacks are perceived that way? Obumphuk has spent a small fortune trying to convince voters that Romney is a liar and a cheat, and has taken advantage of the system.

    The class warfare that Obumphuk is waging is all about spreading that biased stereotypical image of his white candidate.

    Calling someone “racist” sounds like whining now. It’s the word they use when they can’t come up with anything better. It’s lost its gravitas, to use their term.

    The Christian Science Monitor has gone full lib in the past few years, don’t be fooled.

    Dr. Tar I can relate. I receive that junk in the mail as well–even though I have switched my party affiliation over a year ago–maybe two.

    That whole formulaic poppycock made me want to barf, that and how the so-called author trips over his own feet trying to find ways to explain, in scientific sounding words, that if someone black is in an ad and they aren’t being treated with kid gloves, then it’s racist.

    Especially sections one and two–I wondered if the bulls**t flowed freely or he actually had to think about his verbage.

    Racism is in the eye of the beholder. It seems to me that leftist progs find racism in every nook and crany of everything. Recently in London an Olympic Totch runner was spotted with a tattoo on her arm which read: “Oylmpic, London, 2012.” A famous British athelete who was scheduled to light the flame tomorrow, quipped on TV: “The tattooist must be Irish.” Obviously, to any rational person, this was a joke. But not to the libtards. That’s racist they claimed. They want him tarred, feathered, and off the Oylimpic committee. Assholes.

    Screw Disqus.

    I registered eons ago and have never been able to comment. They recognize my screen name, but not my password. They say they are sending me an email to reset my password, but I never receive the email. (and I check every spam folder I have)

    Here’s what I tried to post —

    Obama is a Marxist that is trying to destroy everything our country stands for and everything the Founding Fathers envisioned. This has nothing to do with the color of his skin. How dare you imply racism has anything to do with disension of his policy.

    That’s torch. Olympic. hee hee, thumbs. The Olympic hero is Daley Thompson a British superstar whose father was Nigerian and mother Scotish. And, by all accounts,where it counts, a wonderful gentleman.
    Niall O’Dowd of Irish Central dosen’t count in my books. He’s a whining libtard and an obama water carrier.

    You can still call the white half of obama a cracker-loving son of a bitch (although not entirely true) and get away with it so long as you explain to the liberals that you are not referring any of his holy blackness.

    Here’s the comment I left.

    Then the ad goes a step beyond, by saying, “but that’s Barack Obama,” that is, the kind of person who misleads and says things that are not true.

    That is NOT racist. That is what Martin Luther King called JUDGING A MAN ON THE CONTENT OF HIS CHARACTER. Barack Obama lies. Even the New York Times and Washington Post have pointed out his blatant fabrications. I have a question for Messers McIlwain and Caliendo: Is it racist if someone judges a black person the way Dr. King wanted people to be judged? If your answer is yes, defend it.

    looks like they opened up a major case of Whoop-ass there—–laughed so hard reading the comments—not ONE in favor of their BS. Hope IOTW readers will go join us in a major drive-by offensive.
