It's as racist as you make it, I know the man who made it and his intentions behind the button were not racist. It is your thoughts that make it racist.
I have made it a point to teach my children to not be racist and then hear of this kind of pin and about everything else that is 'okay' to say about white people. I am actually starting to feel a little bit offended...it's NOT right to for our generation to be punished for something that happened to their past generation. It's OVER already! We don't owe anyone anything but respect.
A qualified candidate would have immediately requested the convention goers to remove the buttons and stop displaying them. Any candidate that allows any kind of racism into their convention or campaign is not worthy of office in my book. He's always addressing the public and media. He should be asking his sheep to cease and desist with the racism. Otherwise, he is just as racist as they are for not trying to stop it.
I'm not racist. I hate everybody. :)
Yeah, The list is endless. This "whites are the racists" s**t is getting old. So much for bringing us together as one nation. I never knew I was racist until he won the last election. It must be the truth, the MSM makes sure we've heard it every day for almost 4 years now.
Wouldve been nice, But this is the same group that didnt say a cross word about the the Panthers when they had shown instances of voter intimidation... Quickest way to lose respect in my book :/

It will be my pleasure to vote the black president right out of office asap to protect the United States. I have never seen anyone as adverse to supporting the United States as Borack Obama.
Why is this type of racism so widly accepted at the DNC? If a white presidential candidate asked for all whites to vote for him there would be a riot. And the posters and t-shirts saying Obama is the "prophesy fulfilled" and that he is the "new messiah" should offend every Christian Democrat out there.
Uh, sorry to burst your bubble guys. I know it's probably cozy in there but um, that button is actually an UNOFFICIAL MERCHANDISE. It was sold by street vendors at the CarolinaFest (a Labor Day street Festival in Downtown Charlotte. The DNC has no control over that. Unless of course, they imposed some regulations on what is sold outside of their jurisdiction. But aren't you conservs against that? -Food for thought.
Oh, and here's the link to prove it:http://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2012/09/charlotte-swag-once-you-vote-black-you-never-go-back-and-more/261934/.

Are you kidding me?

Wow! Takes balls to wear that button. Too bad people think like this.
