Tired of the racism.

[Nabbysensei]

I'm in the real estate business and I've heard it time and again how that N####r in the white house is responsible for the unemployment extension not going thru. Or whatever ails this country is directly his fault. If you have a problem with the President that's one thing but to keep calling him "That N####r in the White House sickens me. I hear it almost every day.

1. We all are on THIS side of the spectrum...but it ain't goin' away.

The next Republican presidential candidate will undoubtedly have phrases like "he's(she's)ONE OF US". "A REAL American", or other code phrases.

They know that the race card is the last card in their deck.

2. I've never heard anyone call Obama the n word

No one I know would ever use that word to describe him, and I guess I'm lucky my work doesn't involve having to talk to anyone who would say something like that because I would probably lose my job if I heard that come out of someone's mouth after I described what I thought about any person who could use the n word to describe anyone.

3. Tired

It's real. I can assure you.

[AverageJoe90]

5. Yep. Unfortunately, it's VERY much real.

Especially within the ranks of the damn Teabaggers above all.

4. I'm sick of this shit as well.

It's no secret these days that quite a bit of the hardcore opposition to Obama's policies isn't based on actual objections to said policies, but rather, unfortunately, because that said President just happens to be an African-American.....hence the cries of "Kenyan-Marxist-Mooslum" and such, not to mention all those pictures of witch doctors and monkey heads photoshopped onto his body. Yes, I'm afraid it is indeed true.....racism truly is a major driver for this extreme ire towards our current President. I don't think anyone on this site can really disagree with that, unless they're a newbie or something(and even many newbies still get it).

6. when you hear it do you TELL them how much it sickens you?

I believe silence = agreement

[Nabbysensei]

7. Tired

My hands are tied. For me to say anything would get me
fired as my Boss is as racist.

8. Where is this at?

I work with seniors in a small town. The political mix is around 50/50 and have never heard this. I hear debates between left and right residents. ..sometimes even heated debates. ..but have never heard this spoken, though some of the Republicans likely think it. .

9. Tired

I'm sorry I posted here. It seems some are still in denial
. I won't post again

[h8okra]

11. hey...

just because some are in denial, doesn't make it not so... what people here want is how to make it better; how do we change

[narnian60]

16. I also don't hear it, but that doesn't mean I'm denying it happens.

I live in Texas and I know a lot of people WANT to say it but don't because of various reasons.

18. By calling it denial you're assigning your interpretation to their experiences.

There's no reason to suspect they are being untruthful, willfully or otherwise but you dismiss them out of turn and declare you are withdrawing. Perhaps then, their skepticism is justified.

10. Start keeping a log of when your Boss says this stuff. Is this a large company? nt

[Stellar]

12. How many years has it been for other

nationalities supporting only white people in the white house. I'm sure there had to be some discrimination/name calling on that end too, when there was no other choices to be had. This (Obama) is a new phenomena for everybody, not just whites. I'm sure people will get used to this over the years even though name calling will never grow old. It's what you do when you're disgusted with your life.

I'm thinking of all the names Bush got called over the years, LOL!

Well moving right along......

[Arkansas Granny]

13. Wow. Where do you live?

I live in a very red area in the South. Even those people who hate Obama, Democrats and liberals in general don't use n-word to refer to the President. Maybe in private, but not in public.

[treestar]

14. Interesting that they want the unemployment extension to go through

Blaming Obama for that has got to be a good indicator of true ignorance! Racism trumping the desire to be informed.

[firsttimer]

17. Where the hell do you sell real estate and who are your clients?

[Festivito]

19. Ignorance on the issues seems worse than the racism.

I'm tired of the ignorance that feeds the racism.
