Calling Obama MUSLIM is hidden RACISM????

I've heard it over and over again even from Black people myself
That they believe when white people say they wont vote for Obama
because he's a MUSLIM, it's actually an undercover code meaning
that you wont vote for him because he's black.

Have you heard this before ??

Do you agree or disagree with it ???

I do not agree, but I can see their point. I have real concerns about BO being raised in the Muslim faith as a child. I do not think he will be supportive of Israel. This along with several other concerns - one -Wright being his spiritual mentor- is why I am a reluctant voter for McCain.

I think you would have to ask the people who say that.

Some could be dishonest in that manner and some may not be.

Im sure for some people that is the case; not for the majority of people though.

Interestingly, Fox News just had an article on that topic on their website...

Article: Are Attacks on Obama's Religion Proxies for Something More Sinister?

I didn't see the story - what's the link?

I find it interesting that many Blacks think this is a cop out for
whites to not vote for a black president.

I think they are ignoring his connections and extreme liberal
views and looking at the historical aspect of it which gives the
feeling of hope and achievment.

Many people of all races strictly vote on the pocket book end of
story

The link works...

PBS correspondent Ray Suarez says what he calls "pseudo controversies" about Barack Obama's background are symbols for a "racial calculus" prevalent in U.S. politics.

Suarez said during an appearance in Michigan that opinions about Obama's inexperience, his childhood in Indonesia and the debunked rumors that he is a Muslim are stand-ins for something his detractors cannot admit: "Religion has become a proxy for race," he said.
