They seem to think they’re as good as White People! :eek: Can you imagine the outrage if you changed “went to Harvard” for “on (or even was on) welfare”. ---

> [@Akaj](#): > > Can someone explain the mouth-frothing hatred many conservatives seem to have toward the Obamas? I understand disagreeing with Barack’s policies, but for eight years he was a dignified leader who conducted himself with civility and fairness. And what did Michelle ever do to hurt anyone? Please don’t say it’s just racism. I know that’s a factor, but I can’t believe that’s all it is. The key to your confusion is their claiming to be “conservatives.” They are reactionaries, pure and simple, and if you correct for them, you’ll find that actual conservatives likely concede that President Obama’s North, while it may have been NNE or NNW, at least wasn’t South, as it is for the America-hating fuckstick. ---

But we should not exaggerate, romanticize, we should remember the unpleasant truths. Yes, there were ants. There weren’t any water moccasins. Or snap turtles.
