Is Barack Hussein Obama, Jr. a racist? If he is 50% black and 50% white, why is he running the "race card"?

Barack Hussein Obama was born to a black Muslim father (Barack Hussein Obama, Sr.) from Nyangoma-Kogel, Kenya and a white Atheist (don't believe in God) mother from Wichita, Kansas. What is wrong with this picture? Black wife, black church, black friends... Don't call him white! Not proud of the USA flag? Refuses to place his hand over his heart or pledge allegiance to the United States of America. Not muslim, but went to a muslim school and to a Catholic School as a muslim. A Christian from an atheist mother? Running for the US Presidency? I am so confussed! Is he the perfect candidate to represent me to the world? If I am white, is he going to care for me, or do I need to be a different color? What about the terrorists, are they going to like him? It is insane!

1. He is running as a Black candidate who can appeal to the whites also, there seems to be an apologetic theme to his white supporters, so it seems to be working.~
2. Yes and it's the insane that vote for him.
3. anybody else worried about his middle name Hussein?
4. Name one time when he used the race card. And your "logic" on his religion is utterly baffling. He's a Christian and he does salute the flag, no matter what your inbox tries to tell you otherwise. Oh noes his wife is black? And he has black friends? And he goes to a mostly black church? Trying to figure out why I'm supposed to be afraid... sorry can't find a reason to fear better luck next time. billwill- Wright blamed America for 9/11, link? Never heard him say that before.
5. He is racist, yes, because he attends a churhc that has Jeremiah Wright as pastor. The Sunday after 911 Rev. Wright stated it was all America's fault we were attacked. Had a long sermon as to why we should blame ourselves. Then he calls racist Frrakhan "the epitome of greatness". If Obama doesn't agree with his pastor, he should have left a long time ago. But he keeps going to hear Wright spew his anger because Obama and his wife agree with it. pathetic.
6. His skin color is honey-brown, and I don't see where he is black at all, nor is he a racist, he was raised by his grandparents after his mother died, and they are anglo's. I would say you haven't deciphered your facts well. Obama is not a racist. Maybe you might want to check yourself. Obama '08
7. No, I have not heard of him making any racist remarks at all. So I doubt he is racist. He is a member of the black community because he is black, look at him. He cannot "pass", as many blacks used to do to get ahead. Sounds like you are "playing the race card" here. At least Barack Hussein Obama is not an admitted adulterer like John McCain.
8. He's not racist. You are. Actually, you're not even racist just severly uninformed. Do us all a favor and stay home on voting day. No one needs your opinion. By the way, I'm not even backing Obama. But, downing people for your own insecurities and lack of knowledge is just ignorant.
9. He is 95% black and 5% Muslim.
10. In all fairness to Senator Obama, although there is strong evidence among those he is associated with, particularly his wife and his insane reverend, that there might be an underlying racial agenda, he himself has not injected race into this campaign. There are no moments where he clearly exploited identity politics the way Hillary Clinton has in statements such as,"I'm running so that all the young girls out there can hope to be president." Senator Clinton, you are running. No one stopped you, that is evidence the young girls can hope to be president. Getting elected is an entirely different matter, and no one should vote for you just to make all the women feel better. Anyway, Obama's candidacy has finally exposed the problems with political correctness now that prominent liberal reformers such as Bill Clinton and Geraldine Ferraro have been discredited for harmless comments that were mildly insensitive. Perhaps now they see why the Imus story was so ridiculous, it should not be a crime to speak your mind just because a person is of a certain ethnicity. So no, I don't think Obama has personally run a racist campaign, and he probably knows that to be successful in politics if he does have an anger towards Caucasians he can't be overt since they constitute 75% of the US, but those around him have taken advantage of the thought police bulwark every opportunity to divert attention from evaluating his policy issues and platform rather than an ascribed characteristic.
11. he's playing the race card because of people like you, members of the MTV-watching ADHD generation who can't think enough on their own to realize that the american government commits acts of terrorism all the time, and that not all of the one billion muslims alive are terrorists, so really it shouldn't matter which ridiculous monotheistic religion senator obama subscribes to. also, if you had watched even one minute of one of the democratic debates, you would know that barack obama has never played the race card. other people keep playing it for him. finally, barack 'hussein' (ohmigod there was an evil dictator with that name!) is an american, and seeing as the few muslims who are terrorists hate americans and hate the western world, i don't think they'll take a liking to him solely based on his middle name. go turn on CNN
12. Your question is insane! Obama is a unique candidate as he will represent all of the citizens of the US without bias. He is of both white and black origin, so he won't have the prejudice of being merely white. and he has an understanding of multiple religions so he can equally respect those of us who are Christian and those who practice other religions. Believe it or not, the United States of America is not comprised solely of white Christians! Since Obama is a loyal American citizen, I see no reason why the "terrorists" should like him any more than Hillary or McCain. He will continue to fight the "war on terror" to protect the US from anyone who threatens America.
13. No - I don't think he would want to represent you "to the world". He has never used what you call the racist card!! Know why, because unlike you, he is not a racist. He talks to everyone, he sees people. You see color, religion, and all things negative. He is intelligent, intellectual and an honest man. Your thinking is so warped, it shows that you have not listened to a word he has said, not investigated his background properly and not looked into his religious affiliations at all. Why? Well, because you don't need to. You have made up your mind that you do not want to see a black man as President of the U.S.A. and you are blinded to everything else. You are frustrated, angry and blind to what this man is all about, because you don't WANT to know the truth, you just want to wallow in your hatred. The closer he is getting to the White house, the more frustrated and upset, you and those like you are getting. It must be a very unhappy place to be, to have so much hate in your heart. I feel sorry for you, I really do. President Barack Hussein Obama, is going to make the best President in many ,many a year.. Sorry - your hate will beget hate, and it swing right round to hit you. Peace and love White grandmother
14. He is playing the game with the cards that he was dealt. Hillary and her tramp, first played the "race" card issue and made it a problem for them in S.C.
15. He's is doing what any polician does - trying to straddle the fence and get the most mileage out of both sides. Vote for me "I'm a little bit black but not too much, and a little bit white too." They all do it.
16. The fact that he has succeeded in bamboozling so many citizens is quite frightening. I would have thought we all had more sense than to be so suddenly under the spell of this oily snake charmer. And he IS a muslim; that so-called Xtian racist church of his is just a front for something much more sinister, probably muslim.
17. How about looking less at his race and family background and looking at his political positions, his policies and what he's like as a person? Geez, it's like all you people see is a black guy running for president and that's all that sticks in your mind.
