Jimmy Williams:South Carolinians who want Obama out of office dislike him for one reason HE'S BLACK

He was on MSNBC on a panel and when he said that I could see the expressions on the two black woman's faces.But he's 110% right people just want to ignore it and don't talk about it.

There are still a great deal of people who are racist and they won't for Obama for this reason alone.

I echoed Jimmy as he was saying those exact words. The fact that Pres. Obama is intelligent, articulate and well educated makes it ten times worse for the bigots.

as the KKK yet not really saying it out loud. SC was the first State to secede from the Union and some people are still as proud of that today as the day it happened. If there is one State that needs overt activism against racism it's South Carolina.

I'm sick of hearing right wing racist bigots using the term "race card". I say 'use' the race card. Use it every day. "Their using the race card." is nothing more than code words for, "I'm racist and we are not going to discuss it!"

Funny how thieves, liars and bigots want to avoid discussing they're thievery, lying and bigotry.

Doesn't matter how many imaginary "black friends" they claim that they have.

I usually ask someone who hates Obama why and if they can't answer or don't know why-there you go.
