How in the world can you say this is not racist, when its entire appeal is based on skin color? I do not need to have a concept of being black in the United States in order to understand the video, and if you think there is no racist sentiment in some black folks against white people, then I must turn the same label you plastered on pirate back onto you. Why were armed thugs allowed to patrol a polling place in Philadelphia with impunity? What about the documented attacks by gangs of young blacks on whites? Who are Eric Holder’s “my people?” Why is every hint of opposition to Obama’s policies labeled “racially motivated?” Can no one disagree with him without being tarred by the “racist” brush? Why are we continually inundated with charges of “creating division” when the ones making those charges are always categorizing people according to labels, based on skin color, income, heritage, and whatnot?

still, I realize that we do not see political issues the same. I think you are wrong (obviously, or I would share the same opinions!), but I do not question your sincerity in holding those views. The current occupant of the White House, though, is the most cynical politician I have ever observed. He denounces the rich, yet spends his time living the same lifestyle. He denounces division, yet spends his time dividing in the name of diversity. He claimed the United States had lost the respect of the world; in his three years he has done more to diminish our standing than the rest of those who preceded him. If he really cared about the poor, why doesn’t he go around the country collecting charity for them instead of campaign contributions for himself?

I could go on, but that is sufficient for now. Think through the comment about “no racism against white people,” because that is patently one of the most foolish things I think you have written.
