Seriously, accusing anyone who disagrees with Obama of racism seems to be the only card that Obama supporters have.

Because it's the obvious explanation. What else would it be? If he were white, people might disagree with Obamacare. But because he's black, we shut down the government.

Maybe we could swing that pendulum the other way and point out that supporting someone just because they are black is racist as well?

Of course it is, and many people pointed out how B.S. it was that so many people were voting for Obama just because he's black. Any black person could have beaten McCain for that reason alone.

Yeah... it might be if it were true... of course only an idiot would think it was.

Not all of a sudden. Many people have always been racist.

True, but I'm not talking about racism coming from Obama's opposition. I'm talking about the bullshit race-card that the Democrats like to throw around whenever someone doesn't agree with Obama.

No, we should form opinions without regard to his race.

The question was rhetorical.

Many people have wanted a single-payer system for years. We finally take a tiny step towards it, and -- wait, it's a black guy doing it -- shut down the government!

Yeah... and many people support it, but at the same time... many people don't. That doesn't mean that they changed their opinion because he's black. The Republicans have always opposed a single-payer system. If anything, they oppose it more due to the fact that he is a Democrat rather than because he's black. Polls show that the majority of Americans don't support Obamacare, yet the majority elected him... twice! So obviously race doesn't play a big factor in this.

I don't know. I think many black people support it because they like the idea, and many other black people support it because Obama is black (yeah, that's racist too).

I've had a conversation with about a handful of black non-Republicans regarding Obamacare. I haven't met a single one who supports it yet. Of course, that's just from my own personal experience though.
