QUESTION: Why are white folks more mad about the Birtherism than all the other racist shit

[Jarqui]

33. I certainly agree to a significant extent

If the media wasn't playing along, this thing wouldn't be nearly so close. They have to keep it close to maintain ratings/interest. So money is involved and they're playing us, etc. Much of the rest of the world looks on in jaw dropping disbelief.

But it really shouldn't matter what the media do because this guy is a pompous, ignorant pig who shouldn't be anywhere near any levers of government much less the nuclear football. You do not need a lot of media to figure out this guy is a dangerous, dishonest, unethical, fascist asshole. (and I could add many more derogatory adjectives)

I came into this campaign willing to give Hillary a second chance. She ticked me off with more of the same from 2008. So Bernie got my support. After the primaries, for a while, I couldn't support either of them. But this guy is right out of his friggin' mind. Why more people can't see that, in spite of how much they may dislike Hillary and the media coverage toying with them, I don't know.

He's by far the worst presidential candidate of my lifetime and I was born in the early Eisenhower years.

I was thinking that as long as he isn't successful in his campaign, he's actually doing some good. He's putting an ugly, unpopular face to what being a disgusting racist looks like - pushing it further back into the dark closet within the nations conscience - making it harder for it to continue to exist. On that front, I hope he's really successful.
