My latest Facebook comment concerning racism.

On my FB page, the sponsored Romney ad has 21 likes from my FB friends. That Disturbs me, because I only have 5 or 6 Obama supporters as Facebook friends. Anyway here is my latest status directed to those Romney likers as follows: There is no denying that Racism is Mitt Romney's best friend. While not all Republicans are Racist. Racist flock to the Republican party. Isn't it unfortunate that bigotry could make a person president? Thank God, I'm not a part of that. BTW, just think how Mitt Romney would get blown out in this election if racism wasn't a factor.

I agree. I think alot of it is Racism. A recent study came out that over half the country has racist attitudes. It was about 50 percent when Obama took office but since that time it has grown to 54 percent. It's getting worse. And there is no doubt that most racists flock to the Republican side. One racist posting was from one of my evangelical cousin's who posted a photo of a black painted white house.

My idea is Obama hasn't taken the country down the tubes and all economic indicators are improving. To me there is no reason to show so much hatred and to say the President is a disaster. The only other reason can be is racism.

You gave me an idea. I think I may have to toss out some of my Obama hating FB friends who I haven't seen in years and even some of my Obama hating relatives who I'll probably never see. I may have to do this for my own self preservation to reduce the stress in my life. Since it's these clowns I keep trying to defend Obama over. If they were gone I wouldn't have to worry. I may do that this week. Cut down the list to who my friends really are.

But not until I gloat over Obama's victory in their face on Nov 7. Hopefully.
