There's the racism of some individual making some sort of unintelligent remark. And then there is the racism of a party pandering to the worst fears of bigoted individuals and incorporating it as part and parcel of their appeal to voters, albeit in a stealthy manner (i.e. letting talk radio and tv personalities do it). And do we even need to question why some folks find Obama so threatening? Just because they are too wise to admit it out loud doesn't mean it's not obvious to the rest of us. Who really thinks this birth certificate thing would even be going on right now if both of Obama's parents had been white?
