I cannot understand this hatred because someone's skin is not white
Have they never had non white friends?
How sad and pathetic!

I'm thinking anyone with that idea must feel so inferior they are psychotic.

It appears here in America their coming out of the woodwork.

Btw I would hate to have missed the
great friends I've learned so much from over the years. Lakota, Mexican, African American, and so on.

Your loss bigots!

I'm almost ashamed to be part of the same country as these people, let alone the same species. Just when you think you can't be surprised by the Fox News crowd, they never fail to amaze. Disgusting.

they are not trolls. This is the GOP base that they cater to. Have you missed all the racist crap over the last 6 years? You know the "jokes" about watermelon being planted on the front lawn of the WH, the Obama family photo where their faces were photoshopped? how about the signs at their protests: Obama with a bone through his nose, calling him a *, etc. How about when Congesswoman Foxx called Obama a tar baby? or when a Colorado congressman said Obama's policies were like touching a tar baby?

here are just a few more examples

To imply that the ass wipes in the OP are trolls is to ignore all the racist shit that has crawled out from under a rock since Obama was 1st elected

Someone with the FB name Maurice Wynne still goes along with the original thought in our Constitution which counted African-Americans as only 2/3 of a person.

From looking at his FB page I'm getting the Idea he's from Mississippi. Not a surprise.

Oh, the people like you (who are reading this), are certainly able to judge a person on their deeds and not their skin.
Unfortunately and sadly, most of the rest of the populace is too ignorant, cruel and self destructive to accept a person of a different race.
They can't stand the idea that any Black person is anywhere as competent as the most lowly white.

It isn't just the "openly proud" racists who are the problem. It is always a shame and disappointing to see people claim the "race card" is being played, even when they don't openly say it in such a manner!

I don't think "most" of the populace is "too ignorant, cruel and self destructive to accept a person of a different race", but I think there are more than most people are willing to admit.

Only a matter of time, before an open microphone catches an elected official in Congress using those words or an audio tape of a secret meeting of Republicans using the N word surfaces. I hope that happens and a whole slew of them resign en masse.

It honestly seems that, deep down inside, many of these folks DO know that they sound bigoted, and frankly, they don't care.....because that's exactly what they are, and they know it.
