(38,498 posts)They sure are. The way things are going these days it shames me to be an older white male. I don't like that at all and blame "our president" and "leaders (cough, cough)" in the Senate and House. Plus, lets not forget the propagandists at fox and am radio. Sickens me the way they claim to speak FOR ME, just because I'm of a certain age and ethnocentricity. Not ALL of us old Caucasian males are racist jerks, but I must admit there's way too many who are.

People tend to look at BHO and make the secondary amplifier the cause. YES, the Rs used racism as a tool to gin up the opposition/slander of BHO, but it was tool of convenience, and it worked so well because their party is a comfy home for the people that it strikes home strongest with.
However, the primary sin is that he was a democrat.
Same thing was/would have been the case with Hillary. We had/would have had the bigotry factor on steroids, but her primary sin was being a democrat.
The day before 45 came down that eslalator, he was just another NYC liberal as far as repubilcans were concerned. I live in a conservative area, I have them for inlaws, and they had nothing but contempt for him before he became the republican nominee - they all would have walked over broken glass to vote for him over Hillary.

More discrimination against whites and xtians than blacks? They are truly fucked in the head.
