(47,803 posts)"I said white people who post things from the BAR and act like it represents the majority of black people is a racist."
"The whole giving him only the blame but none of the credit thing that's been going around here does seem racist to me."
You said that. I didn't.
And just to be clear...I read the OP and agreed with the anger and the reasons for the anger before seeing the author or the source.
Had ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to do with race. And I never perceived or described it as "representing the majority of black people."
I am just as disappointed and angry as the author over Obama's pushing of awful policies like the TPP that do run counter to his stated goals. Those "free trade" agreements have already done terrible damage to the country and to all working people, and I am angry that Obama wants to force more of that poison down our throat. Just as I am angry at lily-white Hillary Clinton and her husband Bill and all of the Corporate Democrats who have pushed for those policies, for the same reason.
As long as you want to think that an opinion like that "seems racist" then you are doing exactly what I said you are doing.
