The next time somebody tells you that those who oppose Obama are doing so only because he is an African-American president, ask them the following questions:
1) How do you explain the African-Americans who did not vote for Obama?
2) How do you explain the African-Americans who did vote for Obama but who now claim they have made a mistake and regret their decision?
3) Are blacks who oppose Obama also racist?
4) If not, will you concede that they object to our president based on the issues alone?
5) If black people can make decisions based on issues alone, why can't white people?
6) And while we are on the subject, how do you explain the many white people who voted for Obama but are now changing their minds about him?
WARNING: Your friend may respond by saying, "You're such a racist you just don't see your own racism."
