ipso facto...it must be bad for White people and only good for Black people. BECAUSE that is EXACTLY what they would do.

They think everyone is as racist as they are....you will hear them tell you over and over that "Liberals and Black people are racists too"....because they really think that deep down every one thinks the way they do. Therefore, anything this Black President does...MUST be FOR Black people. Therefore they are against it.
