I love it.
When all else fails, just call them a racist.
That last desperate act of defense is really, really getting old.
Hate to break it to you but that no longer works.

So how are "my words" disparaging?
I think you are overly sensitive, my comments are based on observation, nothing else.
When she left the room after the interview, Lesa and Deirdre reported that she was asked whether she would be here next year. Pelosi smiled and said "I'll let you know."

Sorry, but I'm Hispanic, also a minority, and I've heard it mentioned many times that minorities cannot be racist.

Sounds like you hate Hispanics more than you hate whites, but it's ok, I won't hold that against you.
Hate to break it to you but Hispanic is not a race, neither is Mexican and neither is El Salvadoran.
I keep telling that to folks from La Raza but they don't get it either.
You probably think you hear the "n" word but the word for black in Spanish is literally spelled "negro".
But don't hold that against them because they had nothing to do with slavery in the US.
I try to correct them when I can but don't feel bad, they also call whites "gringos".

According to Alexandro, Obama can not be BLACK because he was not raised in the hood, was raised by his grandparents, born in hawaii, raised in indonesia, never worked a day in his life, and is a terrible athlete.
Anyone that can explain what is not racist about that, please be my guest.

I can see why Alexandro, being a minority himself, would see it that way. Obama is claiming a heritage that isn't really his. He talks the talk, but he hasn't walked it himself. That's the point. He lived a fairly high class life (private school, Harvard) that most whites could only dream about. Although it is no longer "popular," a number of years ago when segregation still existed light-skinned Blacks would sometimes enter the white world and hide their background. It was called "passing." Obama has done the opposite. He's passing for Black, but the only thing black about him is his skin.
You go right ahead and call that "racist," but the term itself says much more about the accuser than the accused. I think you like to hear yourself say it, kind of like Chris Matthews getting tingles up his leg hearing Obama talk.edit on 11/4/2010 by schuyler because: spelling, as usual

Aye caramba, if you're going to quote me at least get it right.
You left out the word "white" when referencing his grandparents.
How many other blacks that you know can actually claim having white Grandparents?
Why am I racist for pointing out undisputed facts?
I bet if you to ask any older black person what true racism is I guarantee you they will say what I am stating is nothing compared to what they experienced.
Btw, in case you happened to miss his speech today he mentioned his Mom and Grandparents not his Dad.
