Here, you are working off of a false premise, concluding that all opposition to Obama stems from racism. Sorry, but that is just silly.

There are reasons why a person might oppose Obama that have nothing to do with race. Under your logic, anyone who opposes McCain, is racist against white people, and anyone who opposes Hillary is sexist.

Not voting for any candidate is not racism; I have never meant that way; so your logical conclusion is quite silly and a failed attempt of mind-reading.

But it bacame a problem when opposition to Sen. Obama turned into vandalism,bomb threats and and name-calling, which is explicit racism.

Rev. Wright issue should have been discussed widely, for sure, but not the way it was conducted.
