‘47 Percent Negro’: Anti-Obama Protest Turns Racist In Phoenix

PERRY STEIN 3:03 PM EDT, WEDNESDAY AUGUST 7, 2013

As President Barack Obama spoke in Phoenix Tuesday about responsible home ownership, hundreds of people stood outside protesting his policies, many shouting and carrying racially charged chants and signs.

"Bye Bye Black Sheep," the protestors shouted at one point, a reference to the president's skin color, according to the Arizona Republic.

Another protestor carried a sign that said "Impeach the Half-White Muslim!"

“He’s 47 percent Negro,” one protestor shouted.

“We have gone back so many years,” Judy Burris told the Republic. “He’s divided all the races. I hate him for that.”

I am in a happy biracial marriage. We live 5 mins from the White House, My DH and I are not divided. You would think being so close, we would be among the first to "divide"

I just had wine with the girls. One just like Obama(me), one of Korean ancestry, one of Swedish, an Indian American, and a Puerto Rican. Who knew it? We are divided!

That woman is a bigot! She doesn't have ONE friend that does not look like her!

Protesters who gathered outside Desert Vista High School during the president’s speech in Arizona yesterday apparently didn’t get the memo from the Supreme Court that racism is over.

SNIP.

He needs to go back to where he came from, because obviously he’s from Kenya.

But I’m not racist.

So they see the US as basically "racists vs. everyone else" (and we can all see what camp that woman is in) ... they can't hide anymore because they can't keep their foul mouths shut.
