Alternate Reality

[peoli]

Now it just smells of racism to me.

Here is the parallel scenario

White male born in Hawaii become POTUS
Father is a white man but a foreign student from England, not an American citizen
Marries a white girl from Kansas whose father serves in WWII
Father is a Christian who goes to church every Sunday
White male President goes to church of Billy Graham
White male President releases certified copy of birth certificate from Hawaii

so the differences are these

The color of the President
The color of the Presidents father
The color of the the people in the country where the Presidents father was from
The church that he goes to

Thats it.

Who the fuck then is going to demand his real birth certificate when he releases what he gets from the state of Hawaii? Who the fuck is going to have up to 50% of its party think that he is not an American citizen? Ill tell you who

NOBODY

it would not be an issue at all.

Who would say "I have to trust him at his word that he is a Christian"

NOBODY

It is conservative fear based racism. People cant believe that the freedoms that this country offers actually were able to bare fruit in the form of an interracial relationship producing a man who became POTUS. Its beyond the comprehension of the conservative mind. The true freedom of what this country represents scares the shit out of them.

3. I grew up in another country. They also think we're arrogant as hell

but when they like you they tell you you aren't like other Americans.
