    That and racist. The whole Birther biz was racist too.

    Lol at how y'all can spout about racism in the left but can't bring yourself to call what MOST white people are calling this president.

    This is part of the problem.

    Genocide is worse than slavery.

    Sorry. That's my opinion. The intended extermination of a people is worse than the slavery of a people. Call it racist if you want, I don't care, but I think if someone sets out to wipe a race of people off the face of the earth, I think that's the absolute worst thing you can do to a people.

    This is racist. American White people DID commit genocide.

    4 million+ Africans died in the voyages over here. I'm not gonna remind you about how you forget about the genocide of the natives. Guess that doesn't mean shit to you either.

    Genocide is the deliberate killing of a large group of people, especially those of a particular ethnic group or nation.

    The mere fact that Europeans traveled to America and got the Natives sick is not genocide. It was an unintended consequence.

    The fact that Africans died on the voyage over was not intended. They didn't mean to kill them. Why would they? It cost them money if people didn't survive the trip. If you can't tell the difference between rounding people up for the purpose of killing them, and rounding them up to be sold, I don't know what to tell you.

    You just make up your own definition of racism and genocide and then get mad at people who don't agree with you.

    Not agreeing with your opinion doesn't make him racist. Holy fuck.

    Oh but it does. If you disagree with Dviss you're racist. He is so bigoted towards white people that if someone disagrees with him, he immediately files that person as a racist. He can't have an argument without accusing someone of being racist.

    So if Michael Jordan had run for President with the exact same message as Obama people would have started the "Birther" stuff?

    Doubt it.

    Never said that.

    I said that was a racist statement. Only black people get toils that shit. Forget about what happened etc.

    As a matter of fact, I DISTINCTLY did he didn't mean it that way.

    Saying slavery is not on the same level as ethnic cleansing is not in any way saying to forget about what happened.

    Ok. Dumb white woman says something stupid about a public execution and we have a thread about how SHE is a racist.

    Megyn Kelley said blackface should be ok if it is a positive portrayal and SHE'S labeled a racist.

    You lefties need to get together and figure out how to explain the difference to us.

    In fairness, he has never called you a racist. He has said that statements that you've made are racist, but he has never called you a racist.

    You, on the other hand, have called him a bigot.

    I humbly implore you to resist making character assignations, please.
