Is Obama responsible for today's hate?

[peek-a-boo]

I’m done responding to your hate-filled race baiting. If you want to have a serious discussion, free of your racial animosity, let me know.

Has nothing to do with foreign born parents. Obama’s father wasn’t an American citizen.

And to you trying to make this about the color of Obama’s skin, you are exactly what I’m talking about with your race baiting.

It always comes back to that.

[peek-a-boo]

Exactly! That is why I believe in my heart that Obama is responsible. He could have nipped it in the bud, but chose to play into it.

Just out of curiosity, why is that so insulting? Is it worse than me telling the Norway lovers to move there? I have an idea, but I don’t want to presume.

I assume your idea is “That sounds a lot like ‘Go back to Africa!’” I also assume you know why that is particularly insulting to a black man or woman.

So you’re not going to stop with the race baiting. It really is sad.

Having foreign born parents does not make you ineligible. Period.

Obama showed his birth certificate and conservative media still did not believe him. I can’t think of any other reason other than he was black with a Muslim name.

I repeat Trump, Clinton, Bush, Reagan, etc. have never had their citizenship questioned… have never had to to provide a live birth Certificate and have never STILL been called a liar after allllllll of that.

That is your problem not mine.

We are done.

He did. He provided a birth certificate online in 2008. He still wasn’t believed.

He never produced an original copy and refused to even go that far until Trump finally forced his hand.

which was awesome, because it just made all those people saying he was born in Kenya look ridiculous.

Why did he need to go that far? He went further than any previous president or presidential candidate

Having foriegn born parents doe not make you ineligible for the Presidency

@PeterGriffin

This is a frequent dodge to hand wave away the fact that a lot of people were anti Obama because of race.

Birtherism is an explicitly racist appeal. Over half of Republican voters had doubts about Obama being born in the US and thought his birth certificate was forged. That percentage increased after Obama released the long form.

True fact.

When did you stop beating your wife?

[WildRose]

No it didn’t. At that time BC fraud was common because US citizenship was so highly valued.

His own family claimed he was born in Kenya as did his biography. Did you forget those details on purpose?

He contrived the entire controversy.

Different set of standards and rules…sort of like a literacy test. There was no reason to question his citizenship because if there was actually issue Obama would have been disqualified before the primaries.

[WildRose]

No he wouldn’t that has to be done by the state party organizations. Each party certifies it’s own candidates.

@WildRose

They indicted him on a charge of DC for his interference with police which was and is a crime.

The charges were dropped like three days later.

The officer didn’t like being yelled at.

That isn’t a crime though.

[WildRose]

They were dropped due to political pressure, not on the merits and we all know it.

DC is a crime, Interfering with Police investigation is a crime. he was guilty as hell and justifiably charged.

He was charged because a power hungry cop wanted to put him in his place, period.

[WildRose]

No, he was charged because of his actions and rightfully so.\

This began with him breaking into his own house and a neighbor calling it in and he immediately started accusing the cops of racial profiling and refused to ID himself which will get you busted every time.

He then got nasty about it.

What political pressure?

Maybe someone realized that being disorderly in one’s own home isn’t a thing.
