Don't get on the bad side of the Clintonistas.
The fake, phony frauds in the Clinton smear machine will stop at nothing. Racism? Pishawww they say.
Can you imagine what would have happened if McCain did something like this!

No he is half white and half black, his skin coloring does not make him totally black.
The Clinton's ran and ad with a picture of him but darkened his complexion to make him darker and admitted to it saying oh that was done by the software.

Geez! How the Neocons can spin! You should all hire yourselves out as propellers!
Sneak in that little LIE ("admitted to it") to spin:
Clinton campaign spokesman Jay Carson said, "this is a bogus assertion. Ads look different based on software, screens, computers, television, etc." (from the posted link)
It's getting to the point where if I saw a conservative say something positive and not a lie, I'd probably go into shock.

Not that much darker and I have been using special software for pictures for over a decade at home and work. This was a hack job pure and simple...

I love telling this story.
I had a friend (OK a very close friend...hee hee) who always checked "African American" on every application that asked for race.
His reasoning was severalfold.
1. They wouldn't be asking if you didn't get some kind of preference for race, so he wanted the preference of course!
2. How can they prove he isn't?
3. Scientific theory says we are all African, so how can any American NOT be African American?

Uhhhh......I seem to remember a certain Senator celebrating with Hillary in Ohio. A certain Senator that just also happens to be black. Hillary has a lot of support in the african-american community. What a laugh this thread is. No one is really going to buy this except people who tend to hate Hillary anyway, and are willing to believe anything negative about her.

I always thought that was strange, someone who is half white and half black is almost always called a black person, almost as if the white half of them does not exist. I guess because most people who are half black and half white tend to look more black than white and seem to usually identify themselves as black. A half white half asian is usually called asian too. Is there any racial combination out there who is half white and half some other race who's usually called white and identifies themselves as white? I can't think of any. Except perhaps in the case of Jessica Alba. If I recall correctly, I think she is half white, half hispanic and she said in an interview she thinks of herself as white and not hispanic, but do others think of her as a white woman or a hispanic woman?
Sorry for the  post.

Why shouldn't people accuse Hillary of being racist. Obama had his turn, and now it's Hillary's.
By the way, yes. I do think the accusations of racism against both of them are laughable.

It's classic traditional racism to automatically consider someone whose skin happens to appear darker than average and/or whose features seem to be African to be "black."
In the heyday of Southern racism, you were considered black if you had the tiniest percentage of African ancestry. (Of course in those days the current theory de jour -- that we are ALL descended from Africans -- didn't exist.)
Still today, Obama is referred to as being "black" and not "white" even though one of his parents would be called white. And, of course he calls himself black. Undoubtedly he thought that would serve him well in this campaign ... until now that is.
The whole business of trying to determine race is a racist endeavor by definition. It's an exercise in futility and nothing but a political ploy used to manipulate public opinion and government policy. Determination of race is an unscientific exercise. You don't have a wand you can wave across someones forehead that turns blue if they are black, or red if they are white. It's a stupid exercise.
You are whatever race you want to call yourself. Who's going to say otherwise?
If we are ever going to be truly free of racism, no one should get any special treatment, good or bad, no matter what their skin color happens to be. Anything short of that IS racism.

By your own definition this thread is Racist Diamond, as you are calling Hillary Clinton racist, without any direct evidence your absurd accusations of her coloring Obama pic "to make hime look black" are true.

Gotta admit I find it amusing that the dreaded liberal media is right on the money to the neocons when it comes up with something like this...
This is kinda like groundhog day....Billary saw her shadow and now we have 7 more weeks of her...

Without any "direct" evidence? What do you call the side by side pictures of Obama in her ad and Obama elsewhere?
Since when is the ACTUAL PICTURE Clinton used not evidence?
You need video too maybe?
I don't know how any evidence could be MORE direct.

Its not even circumstantial evidence. Put it this way. If you were on trial for murder, would you rely on evidence like that to get you off ?

I keep looking at the two pics, the second one doesn't make him look darker to me. This is just silly, as Obama would say.

Clearly you don't understand what "evidence" means.
I'm not going to digress into that discussion, but suffice it to say that just because you don't AGREE with the conclusion others have reached about the evidence presented does not mean that it isn't evidence.
It just means that you don't agree with the conclusion.
