If only racists see that Obama is black then all Americans are racists.

Believe me (quoting Trump) Trump sees Obama as black.

Enough. If you can criticize Trump, Bush, Reagan, Nixon, etc. then you can also criticize Obama.

If you argue that criticizing Obama makes you racist, yet have no qualms about criticizing every other political leader, then that is by definition, racist.

Your position appears to the casual observer (me) to imply that Obama being black exempts him from any kind of critical analysis because "every american sees him as black". That is racist.

How about if you question his birth place, and say he was born in Kenya? Is that racist?

Do we apply the same forensics to Trump too?

If you are equating that with a "criticism" then yes, you are racist.

Maybe, that is not enough information.

Great description of the MS-13 Gang.

Please note that Maxine, by her own words, is also a wounded animal.

Yes, as we look at more and more of the evidence it appears to be xenophobia, rather than a specific racist idea.
