Updated Does racial prejudice play a role in questions about Barack Obama's citizenship, a topic much in the news given today's birth certificate news conference? Yes indeed, suggests one recent psychology study.

Are you saying it would be fine if foreign Honkey was President?
Say a German or Brit?

I think the fact that his father is Kenyan, and he was a grown ass man who didn't have a birth certificate until the FOX news pitched a 4 year long stink about it. Obama only had his forgery printed up, because he knew he'd never be reelected without it. What I find Odd, is it wasn't even an issue for the 2008 election.

Oh then of course the lady who ran the ABDick printing press was dispatched off the coast of Hawaii a few weeks ago. The hitman even recorded the incident on his cell phone.

Who in the hell is calm and collect enough to start snapping pictures of a plane crashing while they are in it, unless they knew how exactly the stunt was going to end, and who was going to swim ashore then who was going to float?

For the candidates or the electorate? The candidates and their minions certainly tried to get it out there, and no doubt it stuck for many. It was definitely an issue in 2k8, as was McCain's (although the Democrats graciously tried to make a special exemption for McCain's foreign birth).

I think in general to accuse someone of being a foreigner instead of being a citizen is a form of discrediting someone and is a form of perpetuating supremacy of the group in power. In order for the accusation to be made, there needs to be a so called probable cause or some kind of evidence instead of simply starting rumours to play to the prejudices. I mean you are not gonna go up to an asian/latino person at a party and after they tell you that they were born in united states repeatedly ask them "are you sure?"

"..kill all the browns and blacks."

Fuck that. Who's gonna pick the cotton & all the other crops. How can farmers survive on Big Govt. Subsidies if they can't use cheapest labor.

Oh! How we miss slavery.

Considering the past few presidents sold us out to corporations and foreign countries, I don't think the rule is working to protect Americans from a popular but traitorous person acquiring the Oval Office. Obama's just been a little more blatant about it, triggering renewed questions of "why is this guy our leader again?"

I would call people like this racist but their IQ must be above 0 to be racist.

Republicans nominated a Panamanian named McCain, and many seem devoted to a Canadian named Cruz.

'Racism' as defined by liberals is the acknowledgement of the fact that African americans have an average genetic IQ of 85 and that whites have an average genetic IQ of 100.

This IQ disparity is the root cause of all "racism". It's genetic. It's unchangeable.
