In reply to the discussion: Hmmm? I wonder why people chose to leave off this part of Michael's interview [View all]2banon
(7,321 posts)based on political ideology, philosophy and so forth.. it is not at all evidence of racism.
It could be accurately stated that you and Moore vastly disagree on the merits (or lacking in merit) of Obama's polices that he's advanced either from the bully pulpit or from executive orders etc.
It could also be said that Moore's comment was not exactly well thought out to say the least, regardless of the merit of the issues of concern.
For example, I'm a woman and have longed for decades to see a Woman elected as Potus.. but I will never ever vote for HRC because of her policies that are now well known to be deeply rooted in Neo-Con policy and ideology. And for those reasons, I especially don't want her to be known as the first Woman to take that office.
If that happens, I will be one of those to say, she will be known and remembered as the first Woman to take that office, but that will be the end of the list of what I would choose to cite as "accomplishments" .. other than to cite predictably negative achievements from a Leftist point of view.
Your issue to me seems to be anti-Leftist point of view, those of us who are opposed to Neo-Con policies, Foreign and Domestic. Painting your differences with Moore's political pov as Racism, is an inaccurate analysis, imo.
