A while ago a black friend (Afro Caribbean) was talking to me and told me
of a time in his youth when he'd got in with the wrong crowd and was racist,
but wasn't any longer. I was very surprised as it had never occurred to
me that black people could be racist against white people in a country in
which they were a minority.
I don't buy the Obama nationality conspiracy theory and in fact I think
most conspiracy theories have a lot to do with a slow news day or someone
flogging a book.

George Bush hates black people.
Therefore if you like George Bush you must also hate black people?
My problems with Obama aren't about his race. His citizenship is of
more concern to me. People say that issue has been settled but it
surely was squirrelly. It kinda popped up like a rabbit out of a hat
all the sudden when it would have been much better if it had popped up
a long time ago.
Although I do not condone racism I feel that racists are entitled to
their opinion. It seems OK to hate the majority, though, and that is
racism, too. The NAACP, is, by definition, racist. Black Panthers
intimidating people at polling places is racist. Why are some forms
tolerated and others not?
