President Obama cannot be racist because he had photo-ops with white people.

JESSE WATTERS (GUEST HOST): Niger, you understand President Trump. Is there anything in his background which would lead you to believe that this man is racially insensitive? Because I haven't seen it. And I know a lot of people who know Donald Trump for a very long time, New York guy, you know, in and out of tons of different circles, there's pictures of him with Sharpton, with Jesse Jackson, everybody, Don King. I mean, this is not a guy that, you know, doesn't like African-Americans, Niger.

Remember when Glenn Beck accused Obama of being a racist who hates white people?

How weird would it have sounded if the counter-argument would have been
"President Obama cannot possibly be a racist. He's made photo-ops with white people. He has met white people. He's friends with white people. His cleaning-lady is white! How can such a person possibly be racist?"

Yet, that very same counter-argument is somehow valid when it comes to being racist against African-Americans.

Obama is white/black he was raise by his mother whom is white,his sister is part Indonesian,her husband is Japanese I think.

When Glenn beck said that he hate whites I thought they couldn't be this stupid then I realized that they really hate MELANIN. Ignorant racist,evil,lying,stupid,mfkers! One of these fits.
