How to post something that makes me think "Hey you're a racist"

[Johonny]

Sure I get it Oprah is over the top. What she meant was just about only narrow minded ideologues hate ACA (there is no such thing as Obamacare). Sure many liberals object to parts of it but most wanted it vastly expanded like Bernie Sanders and not abolish it in total. If your wondering what is wrong with the photo that makes me think "Hey the person that made this and the people that spread it are racist."

Let's look at the guy on the right.

1. Said TOP NEUROSURGEON is not a very good economist, "socialized medicine is the keystone to the establishment of a socialist state". Yes the idiot thinks ACA is Leninist socialized medicine.

2. He also doesn't believe in the theory of evolution like many conservative ideologues. Which should remind you that many surgeons are more like you auto mechanic than top scientists. They know how to put you engine back together but they may not understand the physics behind why it works.

3. He also thinks same-sex marriage and bestiality are good comparisons. I'm convinced he's a narrow minded ideologue by now but could he be a racist.

4. None of that above says he IS racist too but he has said before "ACA is the worst thing that has happened in this nation since slavery". Yes he is one of those people. And just like Palin when you call him out on it he complains about the PC police.

5. But he can't be racist he's black! It turns out black people can be racist. Finding a black person that hates ACA does nothing to refute Oprah. I know that might shock you. Gay people can be homophobic. Women can be against the feminist movement etc... They are people like everyone else and can have the exact same fallacies. Why because they are normal people just like you. The people that made this probably don't understand that concept.

and one last thing;

6. Hey you aren't a racist but of the hundred thousand photographs of Oprah that's the one you choose and you want me to think you aren't a racist?

No, I'm pretty sure you the people spreading this are racists.

1. I don't really understand what you are trying to say.

It may be because I don't have any clue what Oprah may or may not have said or done recently. I am not now, and have never been, a watcher of talk shows or a follower of celebrities. Don't tell me; I'm not really interested.

I'm not sure what people are spreading that make you think they are racist.

I'm not sure what the Carson guy has to do with Oprah; apparently, he doesn't like the ACA, and he's a right-wing nutjob, so that makes him racist, too?

Are you trying to say, is Oprah trying to say, that I'M racist because I'm not a fan(not the same thing as *hate*) of the ACA? Or that I'm a "narrow-minded ideologue?" I don't want it expanded. I want something different: a universal, national health care system funded completely by taxes, offering equal, and equally high-quality access and care to all, free at point of service, period. Yes. I want socialized medicine and other vital services. That's what I've always wanted. As I've said repeatedly, if the ACA results in a net gain in health CARE, that's a good thing. It's not the answer, though, and I, and many others, won't be getting any more care because of it.

I'm pretty damned sure that the adamant defense of the flawed ACA has much more to do with defending Obama than it does actual health care. I get that, and I get why, even though I think the whole thing is pretty stupid. Anybody who wants me to get all worked up about a health care system can give me a good honest socialized system to support and defend.

4. No I'm saying that picture is racist

and spreading it as a defense that you aren't a racist is not much of a defense. One might argue it could be used as direct evidence that you are a racist. I don't even think the racism in that picture is subtle. My post actually has little to do with ACA. Oprah could be 100 % wrong and that picture is still racist.

6. Oh, I see.

The picture making her look uncharacteristically...something.

That I agree with.

2. If you read some of what Clarence Thomas has said about

African Americans and about welfare, especially for African Americans (like his own sister), then you will realize that despite being African American himself, Clarence Thomas is racist.

3. Is he really the "World's Top Neurosurgeon"?

How do they determine that? Do they hold a contest every year?

My rule of thumb: if you never post anything about race, no one will think you're a racist.
