In this post a few days ago, I labeled Obama as a socialist. I had no idea that "Socialist" is really a code word for "black." I guess this word is on the no-no list, like "community organizer," which, at least to one person, is a code word for "black." But I guess that only counts when Republicans use it, because it is a "Republican code word." Does that mean that my calling him a socialist is only racist because I'm a Republican? Oh wait, I'm not a Republican, I'm a Libertarian, mainly, and somewhat of a Constitutionalist...but actually more of a Conservative than a Republican. Does this mean I'm not a racist? Maybe I'm only, like, 10% (which is still unacceptable).
Or is it just because I'm anti-Obama? There are Obama supporters out ther in the blogosphere who say, directly, that because I'm a middle-class white person who's not for Obama, then I must be a racist. But if I were a middle-class black person who was against Obama (they're out there), would I be a racist? Can one be racist against his or her own race? I'm confused...
Who sets these rules? Is there a guidebook? I certainly don't want to be a racist, but I didn't realize I actually might be. Dammit! If there's a guidebook, I can find out what I can say against Obama without being seen as a racist. Is there anything?
I wish Martin Luther King Jr. were still around to bring a higher level of class and sensibility instead of this crap. Bloody hell, I'm white, can I invoke MLK?
